Return to Glory - Permanent Level 19 WotLK Realm Return to Glory is a World of Warcraft Wrath of the Lich King 3.3.5a realm focused entirely on a permanent Level 19 twink ecosystem. Instead of treating 19 as a temporary bracket, RTG makes it the endgame. The level cap is fixed at 19. There is no higher tier and no expansion ladder beyond it. This keeps the community concentrated in one competitive space where gear, professions, and player skill matter. Battleground Structure Active battlegrounds include: Two brackets are active: Arathi Basin is restricted to the 10-19 bracket to preserve pacing and structure. Faction identity is preserved. There is no cross-faction gameplay. Mount Design At level 10 players may train Apprentice Riding for about 5 gold. At level 19 players may train Journeyman Riding. All mounts are capped at 60 percent movement speed. There is no speed advantage between Apprentice and Journeyman. Journeyman exists for mount variety, character identity, and cosmetic expression. Mounts are usable only inside Arathi Basin. Warsong Gulch and Eye of the Storm remain unmounted to preserve traditional 19 gameplay. Blizzlike PvE Only dungeons naturally accessible to level 19 characters are available. Boss health is untouched. There is no artificial scaling and no stat inflation. PvE remains authentic to Wrath mechanics while the bracket remains permanent. Development Philosophy Return to Glory is community driven. Feedback is discussed openly and changes are considered carefully for long term bracket health. Public changelogs document ongoing work. There is no pay to win system. Quality of life features are designed to preserve competitive integrity. Long Term Focus RTG exists to prevent the 19 bracket from fading. By locking progression at 19 and maintaining clear design boundaries, the bracket remains the center of activity. If you want a focused long term Level 19 twink realm with structured PvP, preserved faction identity, and authentic 3.3.5a gameplay, Return to Glory is built for that purpose. |
