Realms, raiding and guilds:
"What's the difference between the realms?"
- There are currently 3 realms that are popular for Ascensions WoW:
- A52 (Home Server);
Expansion: TBC
has all available character modes (draft, build draft, free pick).
- Thrall (season server);
Expansion: Classic
Currently only draft, last for a long period of time before being merged to A52.
(draft means random abilities)
- Archimonde (League);
Expansion: Classic
A short experimental server to test new systems or mechanics.
You can decide if you want to merge to Thrall or A52 once the League is over.
For this League, you can currently play the 9 original classes, Build Draft, Free Pick or any of the challenges by speaking with Stony Tark, he's found in all starting areas.

.
"When is WOTLK?"
- When it's ready, and it's not ready soon.
Keep an eye on the #announcement channel on Discord for more.
.
"When will X server close / shut down?"
- Archimonde will shut down in about 2 weeks time from now (17/07).
- Thrall will NOT be shutting down anytime soon, as it's about to progress into TBC
.
"What is the most popular / populated server?"
- Thrall or Archimonde depending on time of day.
- The servers are mostly active around 4pm - 11pm EU time.
- There are no official online player numbers.
.
"How do I join a guild?"
- Either by looking in the newcomers, world chat or the following channels on Discord;
Ingame > Open chat > /join Ascension
AREA 52 - #Guild-recruitment
THRALL - #Guild-recruitment
LEAGUE 4 - #Guild-recruitment
.
"When can I raid?"
- You can raid once you get to the max level on all servers.
- Do note that many will want you to at least have a full set of PvE gear.

Classes, leveling and professions:
"I want to play a healer / tank / dps, what's the best spec?"
- Try out the different specs, and find out what you enjoy. Once you find something you're comfortable with, expand your ideas and try new things.
As a new player, you should focus more on learning the systems than chasing the meta.
.
"What professions should I choose?"
- Choose the ones you actually want to play with, as that's gonna help you massively with grinding them up to max rank.
- All professions are usable at max level / rank, so there is no wrong professions.
.
"What's the best way to level?"
- Get to level 15 > Press [ i ] for the dungeon finder tool and queue up
- While you're queued, you do open world questing + Professions
For leveling professions I would recommend; Mining, Herbalism or Skinning + First Aid - If you're unsure what area you need to go to next, check out this link: https://www.wowhead.com/classic/guide/classic-wow-leveling#zones-by-level
.
"What's a hotspot, and how long does it last?"
- A hotspot is an area that grants bonus EXP on kills and professions.
- It lasts between 1-3 hours and can activate 2 ways:
- If enough players happens to be in the area.
- In an unpopulated area to make it an attractive to level in.
