We have implemented some exciting new changes that we hope will incentivize more PvP activity on the server.
These changes are as follows:
1. The arena point flush will now occur daily, as opposed to once a week that occurred previously (TW realm only). This should make it more viable to obtain PvP gear from arena points (compared to doing PvE for Emblems of Frost to buy the same gear).
2. If you don't manage to do the required 10 arena matches, they will carry over to the next flush. So for the TW realm you could do 2 matches a day and get a flush after 5 days if you want.
3. There is no more rating loss below 1500 rating and losses will allow a slow climb to 1500. This is meant to benefit low geared teams. Getting above 1500 rating still requires a sufficient amount of victories.
4. Rating gains/losses from arena matches have been tripled to compensate for the waiting times. For TW, this should make it possible to attain enough rating for purchasing Wrathful gear again with less matches.
5. Losing against a lower rated team is now less punishing. This is intended to reduce "sniping" and encourage more activity. Having a 50% winrate will always be enough to maintain your rating.
6. The first RBG win of the day will now grant 3x more arena points (from 25 to 75). Honor rewards are 3x the shown values (11160 honor bonus for the first win) due to the 3x honor rate that was implemented long ago.
7. RBG selection is now smarter. It will rotate between available BGs and will prioritize Warsong Gulch for 2v2. If there is higher subsequent activity, Eye of the Storm, Arathi Basin or Strand of the Ancients will start instead. Isle of Conquest and Alterac Valley will require more BG activity (as well as more players in queue) before they start.
Please Note:
TW Season 1 for 2020 officially ended today. TW Season 2 is now active.
Notifications have been sent out for the active members of the rank 1 team.

We sincerely hope that these changes will compensate for the lack of population and will encourage you all to participate in PvP.
All of them (except the first one) are now live on both TrueWoW and PrimalWoW.
This month celebrates 10 years since we first began. We want to take this opportunity to thank all the players, staff and of course, Roel for making it all happen. Without you all, none of this would be worth it. Thank you for being with us all these precious years. We are one of the longest-lived and, we believe, the most dedicated private servers around. Our population is not as high as we'd like it to be. However, we believe that quality surpasses quantity. The dedication of the volunteers that take time from their private lives to make this an enjoyable experience is remarkable and speaks volumes of their commitment and loyalty to this humble community.
Amid the pandemic emergency, most of the world is in quarantine. Take this opportunity to communicate with old friends from the past via the internet. No better way to do this than to come together on Truewow & Primalwow. We have noticed an increase in activity and many old players have returned already to reminisce and enjoy the good times with the rest of us.

Without much further ado, a glimpse at some of the items to be made available with Season 4!:
Once the shining jewel of Quel'Thalas, this island is now home to demons and elves alike, all of whom battle for control of the magical fount of the Quel'dorei's power's - the Sunwell. Created from a vial of water stolen from the Well of Eternity, the Sunwell helped shape the lands, the cities and the very essence of the Quel'dorei identity, saturating the very fiber of their being, while serving as a source of great power.
Now, in the wake the destruction left behind by Arthas, the surviving Quel'dorei - having named themselves Sin'dorei - fight on. Enduring to reclaim their birthright, whilst struggling against the forces of the Burning Legion, as well as some of their own traitorous kin, who now merely serve the agendas of their evil masters.
The fate of Quel'Thalas, and perhaps Azeroth itself, now hangs in the balance. Go forth champion! Venture into this mystical land and help the Sin'dorei reclaim their destiny! Prevent the shadow of death from falling upon the world!
Or perish... at the hands of he... who will deliver us all!
Magister's Terrace:
Tempest Keep was merely a setback!
With this release comes a new dungeon for PrimalWoW:
Tucked away in the northeastern pocket of Quel'Danas lies the Magister's Terrace. Once a center of arcane knowledge, now it serves as a base for the Dawnblade, the elite faction of Blood Elves still loyal to Kael'thas Sunstrider. Having escaped there, and following his defeat at Tempest Keep, Kael'thas plots to gain control of the Sunwell for his own ulterior motives.
What does he have planned? What is his agenda? It is for you, champion, to find out and put a stop to it!
Rumor has it that Kael'thas may possibly be hiding a unique hawkstrider mount which grants a legendary achievement. Try your luck and see if you will be the first to obtain it!
The Isle of Quel'Danas is now available for play on PrimalWoW. This area includes a new quest hub, flight path and 5-player dungeon - Magister's Terrace.
The combined forces of Shattrath have launched an attack on the Isle of Quel'Danas, to confront Kael'thas and the Legion at the Sunwell and surrounding areas.
Players will now be able to gain reputation with the Shattered Sun Offensive and participate in a new set of daily quests.
A representative of the Keepers of Time has been spotted at the World's End Tavern in Shattrath. Players with good standings will be granted ease of passage to the Caverns of Time.
Sunwell Plateau has been released. The raid is now accessible to all eligible players on PW. The following tuning adjustments are active for said raid:
WotLK + 80% for bosses and WotLK + 40% for trash.
TrueWoW staff has conducted several internal tests to ensure as smooth a release as possible, however, as always - please request assistance via the in-game ticket system for any issues, and report actual bugs on our bugtracker; the instructions for which can be found HERE.
