Why the HD client?

Our custom client gives classic WotLK 3.3.5a a fresh coat of paint with upgraded textures, sharper character models, and richer environments, all while keeping the gameplay 100% Blizzlike. It is the same Azeroth you remember, just looking its best.

Everything is ready out of the box. The realmlist is pre-configured, so there is no file editing. Download, extract, create a free account, and log in.
