What the Remaster Rebuilds

WoR is rebuilt from the original game files: the models, textures, animations, sounds, interface art and game data. Here is each part, with where it stands.

The world

The Tier 1 lands: Nordland and Norsca, Ekrund and Mount Bloodhorn, and the Blighted Isle, with their terrain, water, sky, camps and buildings, streaming in as you travel.

Rebuilt

Characters

Every race and body, the armour sets and their dyes, and the original animations.

Rebuilt

The original HUD

Unit frames with portraits, the hotbar, cast bar, chat and minimap, drawn with the game's own interface art. Nameplates hide behind walls.

Rebuilt

Abilities

Abilities run on the original game data: damage, cast times, cooldowns and ranges. A large part of them work; the rest are being added career by career.

In progress

Quests and public quests

Quests are picked up and handed in, and public quests run in the Tier 1 areas. Their windows come next.

Windows next

Sound

The ambience of each area, the sounds of a fight and the clicks of the interface, from the original sound files.

Rebuilt

Spell effects

Fireball, Ignite, a Warrior Priest's prayers and the rank-up flourish, built from the original effect files. They work and are in polish.

In polish

Mounts and flight masters

Mounts to summon and ride, flight masters with the original flight map, and the world map.

Rebuilt

The realm server

A login service, a world server and a database on our own hardware, being tested with hundreds of bots.

Testing

Realm versus Realm

Scenarios, open battlefields and keep sieges come later.
