Turtle 1.18.1 continuation run by former Turtle WoW contributors, and one of at least THREE separately branded realms carrying the same 'Mysteries of Azeroth' project name: Ravencraft, OctoWoW and Capybara Paradise all use it, all reference Turtle WoW, and all are separate sites with their own launchers, forums and download hosts. Realm Medivh launched 22 August 2026 with a launch event running through 29 August. Features playable High Elves and Goblins, character customisations, and race and class combinations. Official launcher is IchaLaunch. Corrected Sep 29: our entry presented Ravencraft as a standalone project; it is one brand of a three-brand operation, which matters because a reader comparing them would otherwise assume three independent teams and three independent shutdown risks. Update Oct 18 2026: the project announced a move to a 1.14 client, with accounts, characters, quests and every piece of custom Turtle content carrying over, enhanced visuals and atmospheric effects with the original textures intact, and a new official cross-platform launcher for Windows, Linux and Steam Deck stated to run natively with no Wine, replacing IchaLaunch. The move is framed as a release event called Delving the Core, with the Gilnean Raven companion and 300 Raven Coins as rewards and details to follow. Single source is the operator's own announcement, cross-posted to r/wowservers by u/thrashp4nda, and there is no release date yet. Not verifiable at first party as of Oct 19 2026: ravencraft.io still lists the 1.16 to 1.17 client lineage in its metadata, carries no news page, and still serves IchaLaunch from download.ravencraft.io. Tag kept Vanilla+ because the client is changing, not the content identity
