Following an extended run as a public test realm (PTR), the developers behind Conquest of AzerothCore (CoA) have officially opened their first permanent, public live realm: Rexxar. Unlike prior testing environments, Rexxar marks a permanent home where character progress, achievements, and gear are saved indefinitely without test wipes.

Available to all players via coa-development.org, Rexxar offers a refreshed take on custom World of Warcraft private servers by combining deep architectural customization with a strict open-source, anti-monetization philosophy.

Core Pillars: No Bots, No Cash Shop, Fully Open Source

The Rexxar realm sets itself apart from mainstream private servers through three core design promises:

• No Playerbots: Every player encountered in the open world or inside dungeons is a real human. The server population reflects authentic player interaction without artificial AI fills.
• 100% No Cash Shop: There are no microtransactions, paywalls, or pay-to-win items sold for real currency. Every cosmetic item, mount, and vanity reward is unlocked exclusively through gameplay.
• Fully Open Source: The entirety of the codebase, feature logic, and bug fixes live transparently on public GitHub repositories, allowing developers and players to learn from or contribute directly to the project.

XP Rates, Game Modes, and Custom Class Systems

Rexxar is tuned to balance rewarding leveling progression with deep class customization options:

1. Leveling & Recruit-a-Friend

The realm features a steady 1.5x XP base rate designed to keep leveling engaging without feeling tedious. For adventuring parties, the Recruit-a-Friend (RAF) system grants grouped friends triple XP (3x), friend-to-friend summoning, and veteran level-granting capabilities up to level 60 (valid within 4 character levels and 100 yards distance).

2. 21 Custom Classes, Wildcard, & Warcraft Reborn

Rexxar hosts an expansive class lineup, giving players unprecedented freedom in how they build their characters:

• 21 Custom Classes: Includes archetype innovations such as the Tinker, Necromancer, Sun Cleric, Starcaller, Reaper, Stormbringer, and Knight of Xoroth.
• Wildcard Mode: A flexible, classless Hero mode allowing players to mix and match abilities from across the spell spectrum.
• Warcraft Reborn: Completely reworked spell kits and talent trees across all 9 classic original Warcraft classes.

3. Content Tier & Upcoming Modes

The current progression tier peaks at Heroic Dungeons alongside the live release of Pale Reach. Content will unlock in phased stages, with Manastorm—an endless, floor-by-floor progressive dungeon mode—scheduled to arrive in an upcoming patch.

In-Game Cosmetics & Community Bug Bounty Rewards

Because Rexxar completely lacks a real-money cash shop, cosmetics are tied directly to active gameplay and community bug testing:

• Bazaar Tokens & Cosmetics: Vanity items, mounts, and visual rewards are purchased in-game using Bazaar Tokens earned entirely through gameplay activities.
• Groot Coins Bug Bounty: Players who submit verified bug reports in-game or via the official website earn Groot Coins once their reported bug is resolved by developers. Groot Coins can then be converted directly into Bazaar Tokens for vanity purchases.
