It has been 6 days since Netherwing's release and we are happy to say that the launch went very smoothly. We hope you are all having a great experience so far.

Netherwing reached almost 5000 unique connections on launch, and currently, we've stabilized at 4500 online at peak time. Our players managed to create 26414 characters in total, and among them there are 3321 Blood Elves and 2856 Draenei.

The count of players who've reached level 70 is constantly growing, hence we've decided to add some more services to our Shop, which include:

• XP Boost doubling experience players gain from all sources, with 24h and 72h options
• Starter Pack filled with one 36-slot bag and 72h XP Boost
• Character Name Change
• Character Restoration with first restoration being completely free - use it wisely

Both factions are fairly balanced during peak hours but we will continue to monitor the situation and intervene if needed.

We are excited to announce that both Tier 4 and Tier 5 raids are going to be released on April of 5th, at 18:00 CEST. You'll have an opportunity to defeat bosses of following raids:

• Karazhan
• Grull's Lair
• Magheridon's Lair
• Serpentshrine Cavern
• Tempest Keep

Our Development Team managed to tune every raid to make encounters more challenging, yet not overwhelming. We wish you only BiS loot!

Arena Season 1 release shall be announced within the next few days. Still, we'd like to kindly remind that with recent changes allowing you to join battlegrounds and rated arenas from anywhere, we’ve prepared an AddOn alternative to remote queue with. You can open the frame with either a minimap icon or by key binding it in-game (at the bottom of the list).
