WoW Classic X5 Server Rules

Section: Getting started & help 3 min read Vanilla 1.12.1 · x5 Updated 19.07.2026

The WoW Classic X5 rules exist to ensure every player — new or veteran — enjoys a fair, respectful gaming environment. Ignorance of the rules is not an excuse. Please read this page before you start playing.

  1. 1. Fair Play
  2. 2. Chat Conduct
  3. 3. Character Names
  4. 4. Real-Money Trading (RMT)
  5. 5. Respect for Other Players
  6. 6. Interacting with Game Masters

  8. 8. Disciplinary Scale

1. Fair Play

The following are strictly prohibited:

  • Cheats, hacks, speed hacks, fly hacks, or any software that manipulates the game client
  • Bots, automated play scripts, or autoclickers used in place of real gameplay
  • Exploiting game bugs to gain an unfair advantage over other players
  • Sharing or distributing cheat software within the community

Penalty: Immediate permanent account ban with no prior warning. If you find a bug, report it to a GM with .bug <description> rather than abusing it.

2. Chat Conduct

In any public channel (General, Trade, Looking for Group, etc.) the following are prohibited:

  • Spam and flooding — repeating the same or similar messages in quick succession
  • Insults, harassment, threats, or hate speech of any kind
  • Advertising other private servers, websites, or external services
  • Sharing another player's personal information without their consent
  • Excessive profanity in public channels (guild chat is subject to guild rules)

Penalties range from a warning to a temporary mute or permanent silence, depending on severity and repetition.

3. Character Names

All character names must meet these requirements:

  • Length: 3 to 16 characters
  • Allowed characters: Latin letters a–z / A–Z, digits 0–9, underscore _
  • Prohibited: names containing slurs, profanity, or impersonations of GMs/admins
  • Prohibited: names that mimic server branding or trademarks

Names that violate these rules will be forcibly changed by a GM without notice.

4. Real-Money Trading (RMT)

Buying or selling in-game gold, items, characters, or accounts for real-world currency outside the official server donation shop is strictly forbidden. This includes transactions arranged via Discord, external forums, or third-party websites.

Penalty: Permanent ban on all accounts involved in the transaction.

5. Respect for Other Players

  • Do not intentionally grief other players — blocking paths, preventing quest completion, or persistent harassment.
  • Do not abuse PvP mechanics to camp low-level players outside designated PvP zones.
  • Treat others the way you want to be treated. Disagreements happen; escalation to personal attacks does not.

6. Interacting with Game Masters

Game Masters (GMs) are the server's moderation team. They are here to help — treat them with respect.

  • Open a ticket in-game with .ticket <your message>.
  • Do not spam ticket requests for issues covered by the FAQ or forum.
  • GMs will never ask for your account password. If anyone claims to be a GM and asks for your password, report them immediately.
  • Abusive behaviour toward GMs results in additional sanctions.

7. Reporting Violations

If you witness a rule violation:

  1. Take a screenshot or record a short video as evidence.
  2. Open a ticket (.ticket) with a clear description and attach your evidence.
  3. Do not retaliate — responding with insults only risks sanctions against your own account.

Reports are handled in the order they are received. Reporters remain anonymous.

8. Disciplinary Scale

SeveritySanction
Minor / first offenceWarning
Repeated / moderateTemporary mute or ban (1–7 days)
Serious / repeated patternPermanent account ban
Cheats / bots / RMTImmediate permanent ban

Permanent bans may be appealed through the appeals form on wowx5.ru. Successful appeals are rare for cheat-related bans; providing clear evidence of a mistake is the only grounds for reversal.

FAQ

What happens if I use cheats or bots?

Using any third-party software that provides an unfair advantage — cheats, bots, speed hacks — results in an immediate permanent account ban with no warning.

Can I sell gold or accounts for real money?

No. Real-money trading of any in-game items, gold, or accounts outside the official store is strictly prohibited and results in a permanent ban.

What characters are allowed in a character name?

Names must be 3–16 characters long and may only contain Latin letters (a-z, A-Z), digits (0-9), and underscores (_). Spaces and special characters are not allowed.
