To everyone that has been coming in from Google searches or following links from one of the list sites or elsewhere, welcome! CotH is a private WoW server that focuses primarily on roleplay within the Warcraft setting, which is probably what drew you here to begin with. Keep in mind that everyone is expected to RP, and while you have the ability to toggle an FFA-PvP flag, that's only to assist in providing a more 'immersive' experience. Visiting the Rules of the server will set you off on the right direction, and then browsing the rest of the Wiki will help you learn a lot as well.
Keep in mind that this isn't an 'insta-80' server, per se. We do level characters to 80, but only after a certain point. Be sure to read the FAQs for more information on that, and other things!
Finally, to see the rates on the server, check here.

Server coming down shortly for a revision update. Estimated downtime is just a few minutes.
Please bear in mind that any tickets created after the most recent revision update may not still be in the queue if they were not already addressed, and may need to be recreated!
Alright then, guys. Normally, I'm pretty mellow with lots of things, but there's something I need to address that has simply gotten far out of hand, and all of the staff I've spoken to is in agreement with this.
As GMs, when players ask us to play the role of a guard to sort out something they'd naturally respond to, we have no qualms with answering it. I bet you're thinking "why not just let players do it?", and to answer this, it's because it would be abused. We've seen it done before, and it gets very ugly. BUT, back onto the main point. Players seriously need to stop causing so much drama and fighting within cities. We've had a ridiculous amount of tickets, whispers or for all sake of argument, requests to sort out the next pair or group of people who can't stop causing a fuss. Whilst we generally don't mind playing as NPCs, having so many in such a short time just gets tiring and annoying. Now, for reference, these are the kind of things that don't go well with guards.
Quote:
- Fighting in public places - Causing trouble, mischief, or otherwise disturbing the peace - Threatening civillians, guards, ambassadors, merchants, etc - Breaking any sort of crime like filching/stealing, etc - Talking about murder in public places - Talking about conspiracy in public places - Talking of general shady topics in public places
The list could go on most likely, but these are the things that come to mind. Breaking any of these will likely result in you being thrown in jail, or in the worst case, execution. So before you go to leap at the other guy's throat or talk about who you plan to poison, please think twice, as we don't want to keep having to do this 15 times a week. There's PLENTY of places to fight, and you can even do it outside the city. Just not in line of sight of guards!
Yes, the server is coming down shortly for another revision update! Highlights include GM ticket feedback actually being saved in the database! Estimated downtime is just a few minutes.
Most of the options do not yet work. However, I have updated the Character Transfer option so folks can fully utilize their second account (if they have one).
Wondering how to get a second account? If you are a Grunt, you are free to submit a ticket in-game to request one!
Plagiarism is a huge pet peeve of mine... and I'm not even a teacher! If you're posting a guide or something from another site and you did not originally post it, please give proper credit. The original author does not deserve to have their hard work being paraded around as being written by someone else. Furthermore, it's proper to ask permission of the original author first before posting their work elsewhere, even if cited!
I am aware that there are several other sites that have copied information from here (notably guides). Some of them are pretty much direct copies - others are used as inspiration. Bear in mind that imitation is not the same as plagiarizing. If you are writing something and used someone else's work as inspiration for your own post/thread, I highly encourage you to reference that in your post. It is a sign of respect for the original author, and I'm sure they would feel good if they ever discover their work being used for that purpose. On the other hand, if they discover their work directly copied to another site (without references), they'd undoubtedly feel the complete opposite.
Dang teenagers and their Big Band music and their risque diner's with the milkshakes and the hippin' and the hoppin' and the- oh you know what I'mma talkin' about.
Estimated downtime is just a few minutes.
