World of Warcraft vs Azeroth Survivors
Blizzard MMO vs free fan roguelike — comparison.
| World of Warcraft | Azeroth Survivors | |
|---|---|---|
| Maker | Blizzard Entertainment | Aethus (fan project, not Blizzard) |
| Price | Paid game + subscription (MMO) | Free, no account |
| Where | Blizzard client | Browser (WebGPU) or Windows download |
| Loop | MMO quests, dungeons, raids | Survivors waves, auto-cast, level-up cards, boss timer |
| Progress | Character on Blizzard servers | Talent XP per class + gear, in browser / local build |
The confusion is understandable — same world, same classes, same spell names. The test is simple: if it asks for a Battle.net login or a subscription, it is WoW. If it opens in a browser with no login, it is Azeroth Survivors.
One-question test
If it asks for a Battle.net login or a subscription, it is World of Warcraft. If it opens in a browser with no login, it is Azeroth Survivors. Same world, same classes, same spell names — different maker, price and platform.

Free. No account. No WoW subscription. This site does not host the game and does not embed game files. The button opens developer Aethus's official browser version in a new tab.
If you see “Too many people are playing”, the official browser version is throttled on its small free server. Try off-peak hours or the Windows download — do not trust third-party mirrors.
