What is ChromieCraft?
ChromieCraft is a highly progressive Wrath of the Lich King private server (patch 3.3.5a) designed for players who want a long-term PvE-focused experience with quality-of-life enhancements and a true open-source development spirit.
This project is powered by AzerothCore and fully supports the continued growth of the AzerothCore community. Unlike many private servers, ChromieCraft is not driven by profit—its mission is to enhance the game while giving back to the open-source community.
Key Features

Progressive Content Release Model
ChromieCraft takes a unique approach to progression by gradually increasing level caps (e.g., 19 → 29 → 39, etc.) and unlocking content in a staggered fashion. This method allows the development team to fine-tune and polish each phase of gameplay, ensuring fewer bugs and better balance for players at every stage. Each phase also contributes directly to the long-term development of AzerothCore.
Mission & Philosophy
Many private servers use open-source projects like TrinityCore or AzerothCore, but keep their fixes closed off from the public. When those servers shut down, valuable bug fixes and improvements vanish with them.
ChromieCraft breaks that cycle. It’s operated directly by the AzerothCore team to fuel the progress of the core itself. All bug reports, development fixes, and improvements are shared with the wider AzerothCore ecosystem.
Donations on ChromieCraft go entirely toward:
- Server hosting costs
- Development incentives via bounty programs
- Community tools and advertising
There are no pay-to-win mechanics—ever. Donor rewards, if available, are strictly cosmetic (e.g., mounts, pets, or titles).
Why the Name “ChromieCraft”?
The server draws inspiration from Chromie, the Bronze Dragonflight gnome tasked with preserving Azeroth’s timelines. Through her temporal magic, players are invited to revisit the Wrath of the Lich King era—again and again—exploring an “immutable timeline” where key events repeat for deeper investigation.
This time, however, the journey back is more than nostalgia: the dragon aspects suspect a dark energy has been influencing the timeline from the moment Arthas took up the Lich King’s crown to his final fall. Your mission is to walk through this era once more, uncover hidden truths, and help secure the fate of Azeroth’s past and future.
