Hey everyone,

We've seen the concerns about the RAF system and wanted to address them directly.

What we're changing: The XP multiplier is gone. Full stop. We agree it made leveling unbalanced and that nobody should feel pressured to use RAF just to keep up.

What RAF gives you instead:

• X-53 Touring Rocket — a two-seater mount, RAF-exclusive, never sold in the shop. One of the few two-seater mounts in the game.
• 18-slot soulbound bags — useful during leveling, no power advantage, can't be sold or abused.

What about the Joyous Journeys 50% XP buff? That stays, but it's exclusive to PTR testers as a thank-you reward. It's not part of the live RAF system and won't affect general players.

Why a mount? RAF is about bringing a friend to the server. A mount you can only get by actually playing alongside someone felt like the right reward — fun, visible, and fair. It's not purchasable, not droppable, and not grindable. You get it by recruiting.

Hope this clears things up. Open to questions below. See you on the may 16th. 🙌

Hey everyone,

We want to clarify how leveling will feel at launch.

Alongside the x2 base rates, we’re adding a limited-time +50% XP buff for all players.

⚡ Details Base rate: x2 With buff: x3 effective XP With RAF: up to ~x9 XP

Duration: 14 days from launch

🎯 Why we’re doing this Makes early leveling faster and smoother Helps players with limited time Encourages playing together (RAF) Keeps long-term progression intact after the boost ends

This is a temporary launch event — after it ends, the server continues with standard x2 progression.

See you in Northrend.

Hey everyone,

We want to share the final decision regarding XP rates ahead of launch.

Over the past days, we ran a community poll and gathered feedback through discussions to determine the most suitable leveling pace for the server.

📊 Poll Result

The majority of votes supported x2 XP rates, making it the clear preferred option.

⚙️ Final Decision

Based on the poll results and internal review:

WarCrown will launch with x2 XP rates.

🧭 Why x2

We believe x2 provides a balanced experience:

• Closer to original Wrath progression pacing
• More accessible for players with limited time
• Maintains meaningful leveling and world interaction
• Avoids overly fast or rushed progression

It also works well alongside existing systems that can influence leveling speed (such as RAF and other bonuses), keeping the overall experience balanced.

🎯 Consistency

To keep the experience clear and structured:

• We will not offer selectable XP multipliers
• The server will use a single, unified progression rate

This helps maintain a consistent experience for all players from launch.

🔄 Next Steps

With XP rates now finalized, we are focusing on:

• Final progression roadmap details
• Stability and polish before launch
• Continued PTR testing and fixes

Thanks to everyone who participated in the poll and shared feedback.

See you in Northrend.
