Hey there, it’s been 10 days since I launched Landfall. Out of at least 50 people that have tried the realm since then, 32 of them have stuck around long enough to level a considerate amount!
Landfall is a Custom Vanilla realm where the entire world is wiped clean - and it is up to me to re-add my own NPCs and quests to provide a vanilla-esque questing experience, without the overdone blizzlike pattern that has been around the last 20 years.
Fundamentally, there’s no ‘grinding’ if everything around you is new and unpredictable.

In 10 days I’ve managed to populate the entire Western Dun Morogh with a thousand NPCs, 50 quests and dozens of chests, adding content while players played. A few days went on leveling a character myself to test the feel and make adjustments.
All players are restricted in this area. The plan is to slowly but surely expand the available world with more NPCs, quests, hidden items and quest chains, and large open world elite areas. This is done at a quicker pace than one may expect.
Landfall’s Available territory.
My aspiration is to eventually get an online playerbase of about 20 people for starters. With custom quests and sandbox elements, it’s enough to make this patch of azeroth lively! As the population increases, so will the land!
Gameplay/Features
- Custom Questline. Venture through Azeroth through a different lens with the questline that I’m constantly expanding! You start with level 20 spells but no gear - quests may get increasingly difficult, you might want to take detours and get gear, since quests only award XP.
- Mob camps. These are usually packs of 3 mobs, they guard chests that are the main source of gear and potions, increasing in reward depending on their level. You can equip level 20 gear right away if you get your hands on it somehow. Either do professions, or gang up on these camps with other players, or slowly empower yourself until you can solo them!
- Stirring World-PvP. It’s a PvE realm, yet you’ll find optional quests that breed conflict if taken, capturable objectives that provide valuable resources, and little frontlines with faction-flagged NPCs!
"Capturable" camps. Fighting over them for resources and access to additional quests.
- Player-created settlements/expansions and quests. Spend your gathered resources on leaving a legacy for future adventurers to find. Your own customized NPCs, quests, and incentives for players to visit your town!
- Weekly RP/PvP/PvE events. Assuming I’m available, I’ll do events where I control NPCs and give objectives to players to either fight against an invading force - or to fight against each other. These events will accomodate players who may join only for them without investing in a character, by temporarily all players a set amount of stats that equalizes the gap with existing players for that event.
This Saturday, December 21st, 7pm GMT : Kharanos vs Shimmer Ridge RP-PvP event. - Doable for new players! (connection info in comments)
Regardless of whether you played here before, or only want to hop on for the event - come on over and pick a faction to fight for. All players will be given a large boost in stats to level the playing field with existing players for the event (Everyone is level 10-15).
I will control various NPCs and set certain objectives. Faction balance is tended by additional NPCs for the struggling side.
The realm is up right now though. Perhaps you’d like to prepare and build an armory and equip the new players with cheap gear?
Between the two faction bases.
Perhaps we could normalize getting the r/wowservers community to join these events once in awhile despite normally playing other things, to enjoy some WoW that is beyond the usual pre-determined blizzlike stuff!
In the end, I’d like to see someone to do all this and just let me play on their server, but since that’s yet to be offered, I’ll make it myself.
- Come have a chat!
