Getting Started
+ What is Solorealm?
Solorealm is a private, non-commercial Wrath of the Lich King (3.3.5a) realm running on AzerothCore. It's built to be solo-friendly: the world is stocked with AI players you can group and adventure with, its dungeons are procedurally scaled roguelite runs, and a handful of quality-of-life features smooth out the grind. It's free to play.
+ What do I need to play?
A clean Wrath of the Lich King 3.3.5a client (build 12340) — the same version used by most WotLK private servers. You don't need a modern retail game.
Then point the client at the realm: open Data/enUS/realmlist.wtf and set its
contents to set realmlist play.solorealm.org, launch Wow.exe, and sign in
with your Solorealm account.
+ Is the website account the same as my game login?
Yes. One account works for both this website and the game client — the same username and password. An email is required so you can confirm the account and recover it later.
Account creation is confirmed by email: after you register, click the link we send you before your first login. If it doesn't arrive, use Resend confirmation email on the sign-in dialog and check your spam folder.
+ Which factions, races, and classes can I play?
All standard Wrath of the Lich King options — both Alliance and Horde, every WotLK race and class including the Death Knight hero class. The level cap is 80.
+ How fast is leveling?
Leveling is accelerated so you spend more time at the content that makes the realm special. As currently tuned, quest experience is boosted about 10× and kill and exploration experience about 3×. Reputation, honor, and profession skill-ups are left at their normal Wrath values.
These rates are tuning knobs and may be adjusted over time.
Companions & Bots
+ What are the AI companions?
The realm is populated by AI-controlled players — full characters that quest, fight, group, and PvP like real ones. You can summon them into your own party as companions, and the world around you is kept busy with a rotating pool of them so it never feels empty.
On top of that, a live language model gives them real conversation: they talk in character, react to what's happening, and remember your recent exchanges.
+ Can I really reach level 80 solo?
Yes — that's the whole point. You never have to find a group. Dungeons scale down for smaller parties (a solo run is tuned to roughly half strength), and you can summon a party of AI companions whenever you want backup. Play alone, or bring a full group of five; both work.
+ How do I add companions to my party?
Three ways, all through chat commands (or the add-on's buttons):
- .playerbots bot add <name> — summon one of your own alt characters as a companion (they must live on a different account than the one you're playing).
- .playerbots bot addaccount <account> — summon every character on one of your accounts at once.
- .playerbots bot addclass <class> — spawn a quick, auto-generated companion of a chosen class.
The Command Reference lists everything, and the Companion Control Panel add-on turns all of it into buttons.
+ Do my alt companions keep their loot and levels?
Yes. Companions summoned from your own alts are real characters, so the experience, loot, and levels they earn while grouped with you persist — you're leveling those alts for real. Their gear is kept up to date automatically as they grow.
Tip: group experience is shared, so fewer companions in the party means faster leveling for each one.
+ Do the companions actually talk?
They do. Whisper a companion and it replies in character, generated live by a language model. They also speak up about notable moments around them, and each carries a distinct personality. Because they keep a short memory of your conversations and a sense of how things have gone between you, they develop real opinions over time.
One thing to know: a handful of whispered keywords — like follow, attack, or stay — are read as orders and drive the companion's behavior instead of producing chat. Anything else you whisper gets a spoken reply. See the Command Reference for the full list.
+ How do I command companions in combat?
Two layers. Party orders — follow, stay, attack, grind, flee, reset — are typed into party/raid chat and direct the whole group. Combat strategies (tank, heal, dps, aoe, and so on) are set per companion with the co command. The Command Reference covers both, and the add-on wires them to buttons.
Roguelite Dungeons
+ What makes the dungeons "roguelite"?
Talk to the Dungeon Master NPC and pick a difficulty, a theme, and a dungeon. It conjures a freshly scaled instance tuned to your party. Clear it and defeat the boss for rewards. Push into deeper tiers and the runs stack affixes and steadily steeper scaling, with an optional vendor between tiers to spend your haul — so the challenge keeps climbing.
+ Where do I find the Dungeon Master?
The Dungeon Master NPC spawns in the major cities. Speak to it to choose and start a run — no group required.
+ What are the difficulty tiers?
Six tiers, matched to your level (within about a ±3 band):
- Novice — levels 10–19
- Apprentice — levels 20–29
- Journeyman — levels 30–44
- Expert — levels 45–59
- Master — levels 60–69
- Grandmaster — levels 70–80
+ Does the difficulty adjust for solo or group play?
Yes. A solo run is scaled to about half strength, and each extra player adds roughly +25% enemy health and +10% enemy damage. Elites and bosses are tougher still. So the same dungeon is beatable whether you bring a full party of companions or go in alone.
+ What do I earn for clearing a run?
Gold for the run plus a bonus per enemy and per boss, and a high chance of item drops with rare and epic possibilities. Runs have a cooldown and a wipe limit, so each one is a real attempt rather than an endless retry.
+ Is there permanent, account-wide progression?
No. There are no permanent buffs or account-wide meta-progression. Only the dungeons are roguelite — procedurally scaled each run. Everything else is classic Wrath progression: you grow stronger through the gear and levels you earn and keep.
Loot & Economy
+ Can I loot a whole pack at once?
Yes — area looting is on by default. Kill a pack, loot one corpse, and everything nearby empties into your bags in a single motion. It works in groups too, so nobody's left clicking corpse by corpse.
+ How does quest loot work in a group?
Quest items drop for every eligible party member at once. Grouping up (with friends or companions) doesn't slow anyone's quests down — there's no waiting your turn for a shared objective drop.
+ Is the auction house actually useful on a small realm?
Yes. An auction-house seller keeps the AH stocked with gear and materials, so you can buy what you need even when few real players are online. Prices and inventory refresh over time — check back as you level.
The Companion Control Panel
Companion Control Panel
A lightweight, draggable window and minimap button for managing your AI companions without typing a single command. Add companions by name, account, or class; remove them; issue party orders; and toggle each bot's combat strategies with a click. It's entirely optional — every button just sends a chat command you could type by hand — and it only ever sends those commands, nothing else.
PlayerbotsCP folder into your client's
World of Warcraft/Interface/AddOns/ directory.
/pcp. Click the
? in the panel for a built-in guide.
+ Do I have to install the add-on?
No. It's a convenience layer. Everything it does can be done by typing chat commands, so you can play the whole realm without it. It just makes managing companions faster.
+ Is it safe? What does it do?
It's a standard client-side interface add-on. Its buttons send the same
.playerbots commands and party orders you'd otherwise type — it doesn't
read your account, automate gameplay, or touch anything sensitive. The full source is included
in the download, and there's a README.md inside if you want the details.
+ Can I use another bot control panel instead?
Panels built for other servers (like the SoloCraft "PartyBot" panel) won't work here — they drive a different bot system and target an older client version. This one is written specifically for Solorealm's companions on the 3.3.5a client.
Account & Help
+ My confirmation email never arrived.
Open the sign-in dialog and use Resend confirmation email, then check your spam folder. Your account isn't fully created until you click the confirmation link, so you'll need it before your first login.
+ I forgot my password.
On the sign-in dialog, choose Forgot password? and enter your account email. We'll send a reset link; setting a new password there updates it for both the website and the game client.
+ Can I play with friends on the same network?
Yes. Everyone connects to the same realmlist, play.solorealm.org, whether you're
on the same network or across the internet.
+ Is Solorealm affiliated with Blizzard?
No. Solorealm is a private, non-commercial fan project running AzerothCore. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Blizzard Entertainment. World of Warcraft is a trademark of Blizzard Entertainment, Inc.
