Dear members,

Due to the success of our project in a short period, we have decided to release a second realm, "Ashbringer", with the same rates as our first realm.

As you may know, running servers with many players using bots can cause performance issues over time, and we want to ensure a smooth experience for our players.

For example, there are always 2000–3000 random bots active on the server (we must make sure there are enough bots for each BG bracket as example). When you add player-controlled bots for instance, 100 players using 25 bots each (+2500 bots) this adds even more load, putting significant pressure on the server core and potentially affecting performance over time.
This has nothing to do with hardware, since we use one of the strongest dedicated servers available.

To maintain optimal performance, we will also be slightly decreasing the player cap per realm. This ensures a smoother experience for everyone while keeping the world populated and dynamic.
We may release additional realms in the future if needed.

We will rename our first realm, "Warstorm", to "Stormscale" (this is only a realm name change, not the project name). Both realms will have the same specifications and will run on the same spec dedicated server.

Please note that the new realm will already contain bots of various levels, and some will still be initializing, such as leveling or spawning, at the start.

For players who want to keep their addon settings and macros (due to the realm name update), you can rename the folder "Warstorm" found in \WTF\Account\YourAccountName\ to "Stormscale". This will preserve your interface setup, macros, and addon configurations.

The second realm, Ashbringer, will be released later today at 5 PM server time.
