A small, generous World of Warcraft 3.3.5a realm — with a companion that loots for you, gear you can salvage, and a mount from level one.
You sign in with Google. The launcher fetches a one-time ticket, sets the realm up and starts the game. There is no game password to invent, forget, reuse or have stolen — and one Google account gets exactly one game account, which is what keeps duplicates and bots out.
Windows 11 or Linux. It needs a World of Warcraft 3.3.5a (build 12340) game — and it can build one for you from a copy you already have, without touching the original.
Your browser opens, you pick your account, and that's the whole of it. The launcher never sees your password, and we never store one.
It downloads the realm's content and addons, points the game here and starts it. After that it's one button, every time.
Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit. Unsigned, so Windows will ask once — choose More info then Run anyway.

Download for WindowsA single binary, no install. The game itself runs under Steam Proton or Wine; the launcher prepares it and you start it yourself.

Download for LinuxThe realm is Wrath of the Lich King as you remember it, with a handful of things built on top — all of them server-side, so nothing you install can put you out of step with anyone else.
A floating tome that follows you: it loots the bodies, sells the grey junk, mails what won't fit, and carries your profession trainer.
Every class gets its own, appropriate to it, at full speed and with no riding skill to buy. Walking was never the fun part.
Melt any weapon or armour into materials your trades can still learn from — with a chance to upgrade them, and metal bars going back to ore.
Skill-ups are worth more, crafted gear can come out with bonus stats, and working beside an open Tome of Trades is itself training.
Follower bots fill out a group when there aren't five of you, and the Dungeon Finder can be set to private so it's only ever your party.
A rare ring from crafting, with effects extrapolated from your own class. Overpowered is the point; every class gets its own way to be.
The launcher sets all of this for you. It's here for anyone who would rather do it by hand, or who wants to know exactly what is being changed.

No. You need a World of Warcraft 3.3.5a client, which the launcher can assemble from a copy you already have. Nothing here is sold and nothing is asked for.
No. The launcher refuses to use a folder that belongs to another server and makes AetherCraft its own copy of the plain game files, reading your existing install without changing it.
Your e-mail address and a stable account identifier, and nothing else. We never see your password, and there is no game password stored anywhere to be leaked. Each Play issues a one-time ticket that stops working the moment your session ends.
Because it is the cheapest honest way to keep one person to one character roster, without asking anyone for a phone number or a captcha.
It's unsigned, so Windows will warn you — the checksums above are published so you can verify what you downloaded. It only writes inside the game folder you choose and its own settings folder.
Yes. The launcher delivers the realm's addons and will remove ones the realm has withdrawn, but it never touches addons it didn't install.
