Project Ebonhold: Rogue-Lite Meets Wrath of the Lich King

Prepare for a completely unique private server experience. Project Ebonhold reimagines the classic WotLK expansion by blending traditional MMO gameplay with fast paced roguelite mechanics inspired by Vampire Survivors. It is built to offer massive replayability, intense combat, and constant progression.

The Run System

Your journey happens in runs. You begin at level one, and every time you level up, you must choose between three random Echoes. These are special abilities composing your build and affecting your play style for that specific run. Echoes come in different rarities and families (e.g. survivability, damages, ...). When you die, your run ends, you lose your Echoes, and your level resets to one. You can unlock second changes through the Skill Tree (see below).

Permanent Account Progression

Death is only the beginning. While you lose your level and temporary abilities, you keep your gear, gold, and professions. Most importantly, all experience gained during your run generates Soul Ashes. You spend this currency in a massive, permanent Skill Tree shared across your entire account. The nodes in the tree grant lasting boosts to your damage, survivability, and resource generation. Every run ensures your next attempt starts stronger.

A Deadlier World and The Reaper

The entire world is far more dangerous here. The open world features tens of thousands of newly added enemies. As you quickly gather Soul Ashes, your Intensity gauge fills up, spawning even more hazards, ambushes, and enemies. Pushing your Intensity to the limit is risky but rewarding, and can even summon The Reaper, a massive world boss requiring dozens of players to defeat.

Gear and Weapon Affixes

Gear acquisition matters more than ever since you keep your equipment between runs. To support this, quest rewards and crafted items have received stat boosts. Gear also drops with randomized affixes. You can extract these affixes and apply them to other pieces of equipment for a gold cost, giving you total control over your perfect build.

Progressive Content and Hardcore Modes

Project Ebonhold features progressive era releases. The server is currently in the Ulduar phase, with future patches unlocking nxt raids, fresh Echoes, and expanded Skill Tree branches. If you want maximum rewards, you can activate one of three Hardcore difficulties. Just remember that in Hardcore, a single death forces an immediate reset, but it gives you increased rewards!

The Ultimate Goal

Your endgame objective is simple but highly challenging: max out your Skill Tree, get the best echoes build, find the perfect gear and affixes, and defeat the Lich King with the smallest group size possible. Whether you enjoy solo challenges or grouping with friends, Project Ebonhold delivers an incredibly addictive loop that respects your time and rewards your skill and dedication.
