About the Server

Join our Discord

Iron Gate is a WotLK Solo+ server where you never play alone. Bots fill the world, run dungeons, join battlegrounds, and create a living Wrath experience even at 3 AM. Perfect for solo players, couples, and small groups who want a real WotLK world without needing a huge population.

We now run two realms, and one account works on both. Pick whichever you fancy at the character screen — or play both.

Quick Start

  1. Create an account with the form on this page.
  2. You need a WoW 3.3.5a client (build 12340). Don't have one yet? Get one here (it comes set up for a different server, so the next part matters). Open the file realmlist.wtf and set it to: set realmlist irongatewow.com
  3. Log in with your ACCOUNT NAME, not your email. The login box says "Battle.net Account Name" — ignore that.
  4. Pick a realm at the character screen and create your first character. Death Knights are not available on a new account — they need a level 55 character on that realm first, so pick any other class to start. Once you are in, whisper any bot the word add to invite it to your party.
  5. Want a party member without knowing any names? Type .playerbots bot addclass mage in chat (use any class name in place of "mage") and a bot of that class, at your level, joins your group.

Full steps, the addon pack and the fix for crashing in busy places are in the How to Connect tab below.

Ulduar, Trial of the Crusader, Icecrown Citadel and Ruby Sanctum stay sealed until their phase opens — just like the original release. Bots on Classic are spread across many levels and keep levelling as they play, and very few are max level yet.
