How to start playing Azeroth Survivors
Open the official game page in a WebGPU browser, wait for the world data, then pick a class and press Enter. The browser version has no account and no client install.
Checked in game client v0.141.0 on 2026-11-05
Open the game and reach the character picker
- Open https://wow.aethus.pl/ directly. This is the official game entry.
- Let the page download the world data. You will see the game logo and a download progress screen first.
- The character picker opens when the download finishes. There is no login box, no registration step and no account field on this screen.
Launch the game from that address, not from another site or an embedded frame. The official loader only starts on its own domain, a local development address or your own disk copy; anything else shows Fake website detected!.
Check the browser before anything else
The game needs WebGPU, the browser interface to the graphics card. The official page says:
| Browser | What to do |
|---|---|
| Chrome, Edge, Safari | Use a current version with WebGPU available. |
| Chrome on Linux | Enable chrome://flags/#enable-unsafe-webgpu, then reopen the game. |
| No WebGPU | The page will not start. See the troubleshooting steps or run the browser check. |
Choose a hero and a zone
The first screen is the character picker, not the battlefield. It is arranged in three parts:
- Left: class.
- Middle: the hero, with race, gender and equipment.
- Right: the zone list.
The picker opened on a male human warrior in Elwynn Forest in the checked build. That default does not prove every class, race or zone is unlocked; choose from the options the picker actually shows.
To begin, press Enter or use the zone button, which reads Enter Elwynn Forest when Elwynn Forest is selected. In the checked build, that took the default hero straight into the zone.
Controls you need on day one
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Enter | Enter the world from the character picker. |
| W | Move. The main menu also says WASD or both mouse buttons to run. |
| 1 / 2 / 3 | Choose one of the three upgrade cards. |
| R | Reroll the upgrade choices. |
| Esc | Open the pause menu. |
You do not need an attack button. Skills cast automatically, so moving and picking cards is enough to attack and kill enemies. The checked run used only movement and card choices and still cleared enemies.
Pause menu and settings
Esc pauses the run. The pause screen shows Resume, Options and End Run, plus the line Press Escape to resume.
Options has twelve tabs in this client version:
Controls · Gamepad · Interface · Action Bars · Combat · Chat · Key Bindings · Nameplates · Graphics · Audio · AddOns · Saves
The Controls tab includes Sticky Targeting, Attack on assist, Block Trades, Auto Self Cast, Auto Loot, Invert Mouse, Mouse Sensitivity, Click-to-Move, Camera Following Style, Follow Terrain, Head Bob, Auto-Follow Speed and Water Collision. The Graphics tab covers visual quality and effects. The Gamepad tab exists, but no physical controller was tested, so controller compatibility is not confirmed here.
