Wrath of the Lich King gets 'fresh start' servers for its arrival in WoW Classic

Universe of Warcraft Classic will soon be receiving the Wrath of the Lich King expansion, something of a fan-favorite. As part of this the game will open 'Fresh Start' servers for players who haven't yet been enticed back. These realms are intended for players who want the experience of starting with another character and playing alongside others who are in the same boat.

Players have been requesting Blizzard do this for some time, however Wrath of the Lich King is an immensely popular piece of WoW's history, and most likely the designer expects it to entice many 'new' as well as lapsed Classic players.

The servers were announced in a blogpost by Blizzard CM Kaivax (opens in new tab), and will be "Wrath of the Lich King Classic realms from day one, so when they launch, they'll have all of the talent trees and player abilities coming with Wrath of the Lich King Classic, yet all players will start new characters at level 1."

The Fresh Start realms also accompany certain conditions, all of which are basically intended to stop individuals boosting:

    For at least 90 days, you won't be allowed to boost a character on Fresh Start realms.
    For at least 90 days, Fresh Start realms won't be available destinations for character transfers.
    Death Knights cannot be created on these realms without a level 55 character on that same realm.

All of the WoW Classic and Burning Crusade content will be available in these realms, while Northrend is locked on all servers until Wrath of the Lich King launches.

"Ultimately, we desire to see players spread out onto all of the available realms as Wrath of the Lich King Classic approaches," writes Blizzard. "For players looking for a chance at faction balance, we're confident that by starting fresh, they'll have a chance to stay balanced for quite a while. For players looking for a chance to step up in dungeons, we trust the presence of other leveling players makes that more probable."
