We have delayed the launch of our vanity/service store a week or two. We're not desperate for funding and can continue to run this project comfortably without donations. However, we understand many of you really wanted the store to come out in order to use the 10x boost. Because this is not an option for you, we have decided to enable 10x leveling rates this entire weekend.
x10 Experience is live now!
We have also received a lot of mixed reception about crossfaction chat in public and world channels.
Here is our solution:
• All public channels are no longer crossfaction. This includes General and Trade channels in locations such as Wintergrasp.
• /world and /nsfw will remain crossfaction.
• Two new "faction specific" world channels have been created: /alliance and /horde
Please note all public channels are moderated. The only channel that is free of moderation is /nsfw.
We will be rolling out a few additional chat updates in the days to come.
Kind regards, Whitemane Staff.
Naxxramas is out!
February 4, 2021 at 08:03 am by Whitemane
Naxxramas is out and it's already cleared! Even though our 25 Man version was extremely buffed, a guild named holydefender pug managed to clear it in less than 4 hours. That's just Naxxramas thing, isn't it?
Racial Shift NPC has been added to Dalaran and you can change your set of racials. It cannot be reverted, so make sure you're not making any mistakes!
Remember that our weekly reset is scheduled every Wednesday, 11am Realm Time.
Kind regards, Whitemane Staff.
Free Experience Event!
January 27, 2021 at 07:50 am by Whitemane
Whitemane, the World's Best Crash Simulator of 2021, would like to apologize for the recent crashes these past few days, from the bottom of its heart. You have lost some precious time due to the crashes and downtime, and because of that, we are launching a free x10 Experience Event from now until Sunday, the 31st of January, 11:59PM Server Time. We hope this will quench your thirst for gaming.
These few hours of crashes were really frustrating; logging in, getting disconnected, logging in again... but we have fixed these issues with very little downtime. In the first three days of Mograine's birth, we have:
• Completely rewrote our anticheat system from scratch
• Fixed over 105 bugs
• Banned over 500 hackers/bots/gold sellers (approximately 7 per hour)
• Won 4 wowservers world records
We are a new project, and as we continue to improve and create a polished server, we sometimes hit roadbumps and issues. The result is long days, long nights, and very little sleep, but we won't rest until we iron out these issues and make a server enjoyable for everyone.
One of our highest priority issues right now is overhauling our gold spammer protection- to be honest, we were expecting a smaller turnout, and were surprised to hit 5,000 player peaks concurrently every day since launch. As the server increases in population, so has the frequency of gold spamming bots. We will deal with this issue aggressively and swiftly, both by improving our detection system, and bringing on more Game Masters.
We have made a lot of progress in these few days, but we believe you deserve even better, and we will deliver.
Finally, we would like to thank our supporters and fans for awarding us with the World's Best Crash Simulator 2021 award, the World's Best Private Server 2021 award, the World's Fastest Bugfixing 2021 award, and the World's Least Sleep 2021 award. We couldn't have done it without you!
And this is just the beginning.

Mograine is online!
January 24, 2021 at 03:59 am by Whitemane
The wait is over. Mograine has launched! Our Wrath of the Lich King realm peaked at around 5400 online, we have fixed a lot of day-0 issues and crashes. We weren't expecting so many people, but we were prepared for that. The next stop is Naxxramas that launches on 3rd February, along with the vanity shop and Racial Shift. As we are polishing out all the details of the upcoming content and fixing the issues that pop up, we monitor the faction balance and player feedback.
We will continue our work to bring you the most satisfying Wrath of the Lich King content.
Kind regards, Whitemane Staff.
Second Beta Wave is Coming!
December 1, 2020 at 05:59 pm by Whitemane
We have done further optimizations and solved issues found in the first beta wave and now we can move on to the second one. We would like to announce that the second beta wave of Whitemane’s Wrath of the Lich King realm, Mograine, starts on 10th December and will last two weeks (10.12 – 24.12).
Again, players will be able to find an in-game mall with all items necessary to check out all the raids. The full Wrath of the Lich King content will be open on the beta realm, from Naxxramas to Ruby Sanctum.
We’d also like to thank all the people that took their part in our first beta: for their commitment and all bugs they have reported.
Kind regards, Whitemane Staff.
Whitemane reviewed by MetaGoblin.
November 21, 2020 at 06:31 pm by Whitemane
MetaGoblin is a popular World of Warcraft YouTuber who has benefitted from Whitemane sponsorship! He was given access to our development realm and he reviewed the server as he wished to. We like to give content creators all the freedom in choosing what to show and we don't intervene, that's why these reviews help the players and help us to tailor the best gaming experience.
Now, let's hear what Charlie has to say!
Wrath of the Lich King 12th Anniversary!
November 14, 2020 at 01:21 pm by Whitemane
Today marks the 12th Anniversary of Wrath of the Lich King launch, that's why we have some good news for you.
Timeline for Mograine, our Wrath of the Lich King realm, has been created. What can you expect? As we promised, short Tier 7. Nobody likes Naxxramas, so we shortened that content to last 7 weeks. It's coming 5 days after realm launch. In the second week of Tier 7, Obsidian Sanctum is going to be open and in the third week, The Eye of Eternity. All these raids are going to have their 25-Man difficulty increased and drop rates adjusted.
Ulduar is very long, pre-nerf and the difficulty is additionally increased on 25-Man version.
Trial of the Crusader content will last 7 weeks, just like T7, with drop rates increased accordingly. Difficulty is increased slightly on 10-Man Heroic and greatly on 25-Man Heroic.
Both T7 and T9 content will have their season's PvP item cost reduced by 30% (only Arena Point cost).
Icecrown Citadel's 10-Man Heroic version is going to be buffed, but 25-Man Heroic is going to be extremely hard. Ruby Sanctum will probably have no changes.
If you want to see exact dates, please visit our About section to learn more about Mograine's timeline.
Dodgykebaab, a popular World of Warcraft YouTuber, took advantage of our sponsorship and reviewed our Wrath of the Lich King realm. It's still in beta, but as you can see, the quality is very high (which you have already seen on the PTR). We are very happy that he agreed to work with us on the video: we have provided all the tools he needed, and we let him test anything he wanted. It wasn't directed by us and we had no contribution in creating his script. This is our third sponsored video. The first video we have sponsored was overview by Big Musk, which you can view Here. The second was a review made by Xecc, which is really fun and you can watch it Here. Dodgykebaab is the third one to make a video for us, with the fourth video coming soon! We are anticipating a nice influx of players.
Public Test Realm is going to be closed tomorrow. We are fixing all the reported bugs rapidly and we don't expect anything big coming up regarding our core. The quality is already very high, but we're going higher than that. We have fixed some exploits that could be used against us and we have received numerous threats to "kill" our launch. That was expected and we will be prepared.
Another round of Public Testing will happen somewhere in December and we hope that you are going to help us populating our BugTracker!
Kind regards, Whitemane Staff.
Development Update.
October 31, 2020 at 04:11 pm by Whitemane
Whitemane development is going forward really quickly.
We have performed even more closed tests to PvP and level 80 raids and we are very happy, because we can safely say that our raids are the best WotLK raids available on any private server.
Our "About" section has been blessed with more valuable information about Mograine, our Wrath of the Lich King realm. Adverts are going strong on social media platforms and YouTube.
We have sponsored a video of Xecc, who previews our realm. You can watch it [Here].
What's even better, our PTR and registration opens 7th November so you can see the quality we like to brag about with your very eyes. If you want to see all videos and other media related to Whitemane, check our Media section on the website.
Thank you for your support and see you on the PTR!
Wrath you have been waiting for.
August 18, 2020 at 12:29 am by Whitemane
Whitemane is a server developed by a few men across the years.
We start with the Mograine realm, based on Wrath of the Lich King. The codebase has been developed by experienced programmers, coming from many servers and nationalities. Code we developed can be found nearly on every major private server.
Gameplay is the most important aspect to us. We need to provide the highest quality and great replayability, adapting to the modern players. This has fruited with increased Experience rates - the cornerstone of Whitemane.
Whitemane is going to offer raids and dungeons of highest quality and a real, competitive PvP with real prizes and interesting systems, such as solo queue.
Join us as the last layers of Wrath of the Lich King are being laid down and the footing of Cataclysm is being prepared.
Mograine
