The first chapter: Karazhan Published 5 months ago

Hello, champion.

It’s time to reveal the first phase of your journey on Stormforge-Asia. In our previous post, we mentioned that we do see an urgent need among our Chinese players for a fresh progressive realm. And here we are, presenting you the first realm based on The Burning Crusade expansion created exclusively for you - Karazhan.

Our Staff believes that this project inherits not only a name after our last realm created as Atlantiss, but also unrivaled quality and 24/7 support.

The timeline of Karazhan is not settled yet and will be based on how quickly players progress through the game as it allows us to be more flexible when it comes to releasing content.

Progression realm:

Our Team does realize that most players get attached to their characters after months of perfecting them, therefore we want to make it clear: TBC is merely the beginning. After progression is over, we will update Karazhan and move it to the frozen peaks of Northrend in the Wrath of the Lich King expansion.

For now, we are anxious to see your struggles against Outland’s more powerful denizens and each other on Battlegrounds and Arenas. So gather your friends, gear up, and join Karazhan!

The Burning Crusade awaits!
