Same place, same people, two very different games. One is a museum. The other is a journey. Both are gated — content opens in phases, nothing handed out at once. You can change your mind later.

Gated raids — Molten Core opens 2 weeks after 80 × level 60
Pure Classic Vanilla, a Normal PvE realm — faithful 1.12, tuned where it was broken and nowhere else.
Project Barrens
The journey, together.

Phase-gated — caps and eras open for the whole realm at once
One realm that moves forward as one — Classic, then The Burning Crusade, then Wrath of the Lich King, each era opening for everyone at once.
One account · both realms
Elwynn is right next door, pure Vanilla with no gates and no eras, and you can start there whenever you like. A one-way character move from Barrens to Elwynn is being built: today it checks your character and the name on Elwynn, and it moves nothing yet. So pick your realm on how you want to play, not on a move that is not finished.
Start
Pick a door above, then get into it: account, client, character.
One account works in the game and on the site. You can play right away; email confirmation only unlocks Armory and character pages.
Open →A clean Windows zip, realmlist already set to play.stonetavern.app. No installer, no telemetry.
Open →Log in, make a character, and settle into a small PvE realm built around people, not accounts or payment tiers.
Open →The realm, in the open
Every character, every record, every change — public. This is the live Armory and the records the innkeeper keeps by hand.
The same house, either door
If you want to help with the power bill, you can. Donations are support — nothing else. Nobody buys a level, a mount, or a raid spot here.
