GrimfallWoW leaves open beta Sep 5.
Classless Release begins Saturday, Sep 5 at 11am CT. Open beta ran since Mar 27. Release brings the full classless stack live.
Wildcard rolls abilities every level. Skill Cards lock key abilities. Scrolls reroll what does not fit. Runic boosts potency. Born Hero makes hybrids viable.
World grows sideways at 60. Over 30 scaled dungeons — TBC, WotLK, plus Stonecore and Lost City adapted to 3.3.5a. Over 2,500 scaled TBC and WotLK quests. Tol Barad daily zone. Kezan and Gilneas starts.
Systems: scaled finder from 10, transmog with no fees or locks, prestige with mounts and pets, refer-a-friend.
Timing matters. Ascension goes dark Sep 4 19:00 PT. Grimfall goes live Sep 5 11:00 CT — 17 hours later.
Classless players lose five realms one night and gain one the next morning. Not a replacement — different core, smaller scale — but the only live classless launch in the window.
Tracker: Grimfall stays playable, Classless, tiny, updated Sep 4. Watch pop after launch week to see if tiny holds.
