**IR-Yuna** · 01-01-2018

What is Inner-Realms?

Inner-Realms is a progressive PvE WoTLK server beginning at patch 3.0.x. Our goal is to not be the largest server, but to be the friendliest and most welcoming towards players and developers. Our staff and developers are dedicated to creating a truly great experience that is as blizzlike as possible. Our primary objective is to constantly dedicate ourselves to learning and improving the quality of our services.

The server is ONLINE.

The Basics

• 1x rates on everything (EXP/Quest EXP/Gold/ Reputation/Honor)

• RDF enabled on launch

• Heirlooms disabled until all Realm Firsts have been attained

• Donation/Vote shop for vanity items only. No “Pay to Win” items on the Donation/Vote store

And yes, you begin at level 1. Level up to 55 if you want to play DK.

What makes Inner-Realms different from other 3.3.5a Servers?

Inner-Realms has the following features that are uncommon on other servers.

• Revised Badge Drops for Progressive Content

• Blizzlike Patch Releases

• No "Pay to Win" items on Donation/Vote Store

• Direct lines of communication with Administration and Developers

• Dedicated Website and In-Game Support Systems

• Developer Training Program

Our goal before launch is to have at least 99% of the Northrend quests working. As of now, ALL Loremaster achievements are able to be earned in-game without any auto-completed quests, or GM assistance. We are continuing to test content, including quests, dungeons, raids, and more to ensure that we continue to update and provide the best quality we can.

The Launch

Let’s be honest, no server can launch bugless and neither can we launch the server in perfect condition. Inner-Realms has been in development since April 2017 and although we have set in stone the launch date on February 23rd, the development staff is putting major resources towards fixing the critical issues before these bugs will affect the players.

However, we’re always on alert for those that manage to slip by. Let it be known that all bug reports will be seen by multiple eyeballs and the issues that will cause the greatest harm to players will be treated with importance.

What is your stance on donations?

Inner-Realms is operating as a non-profit project. Meaning that any monetary gain will be used to:

• Pay Server Hosting Fees

• Increase Server Quality by Hiring Developers

• Purchase Additional Server Space

We will aim to be as transparent as possible with our community regarding how community donations are spent.

What is the current status of the project?

Inner-Realms is currently in an Open Beta state. We are currently allowing anyone to create an account and join us in-game for additional testing. Characters made during Open Beta will be completely wiped before the server launches for a final release state. We invite you to join us, and help test spells, dungeons, quests, and over-all server mechanics. We are currently rewarding all confirmed valid bug reports with vote points, that can be used to purchase vanity pets, and TCG mounts and other fun cosmetic items once the server goes live.

Project Development

In an effort to be as transparent as possible, I’ve produced a list of our developer staff, their duties and experience:

• Jiinx – Database Admin (System Admin, Repository Admin, and Realm Maintenance) with over 8 years of working experience on TrinityCore and Linux experience since pre-2000’s.

• Olion – Senior Developer with over 7 years of experience developing TrinityCore as well as 2 years of experience working with Mangos.

• Pook – Developer

• Simon - Senior Developer

The development staff is capable of addressing at least 80-95% of the current issues that are being dealt with in our bugtracker. At the same time, we’re training and actively recruiting developers to join the staff.
