1. About the Service

EvolvedWOTLK is an independently operated, non-commercial community project managed by Middel from The Netherlands. It is not a registered company. The project provides a World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King community realm and related website services, including account settings, character tools, leaderboards, online-player information, reports, voting rewards, downloads, and service-status updates.

EvolvedWOTLK is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Blizzard Entertainment. World of Warcraft and related marks and game assets belong to their respective owners.

2. Eligibility

The service is intended for players aged 12 or older, consistent with the operator's stated PEGI 12 content-rating basis. This is an access rule for the project; it is not a statement about the legal age for consent to personal-data processing. Where Dutch law requires a parent or guardian to authorize a processing activity, that authorization must be provided. The service is not available to an account that has been suspended or permanently banned.

3. Accounts and Security

• Provide accurate information requested to register and keep your account details current.
• Keep your password, recovery codes, and remembered devices secure. Do not share, sell, or transfer your account.
• You are responsible for activity performed through your account, except where applicable law provides otherwise. Contact support promptly if you suspect unauthorized access.
• Website and game access use the realm account system. Account restrictions may affect both website and game features.
• Optional two-factor authentication and remembered-login features are provided to help protect your account. You are responsible for keeping recovery methods available.

4. Website and Game Features

Features may include character and guild Armory pages, leaderboards, the online roster and live map, profile settings, Discord account linking, player reports, downloads, account security tools, voting, daily rewards, the VoteShop, and the Realm Status dashboard, API, and widget. Features may be changed, suspended, or removed as the project develops.

Some character information is visible to other visitors through public Armory, leaderboard, roster, and live-map features. The public Armory privacy setting controls detailed character pages; the online roster and map may still show limited live character information, including a character's current in-game location. Game Masters' map coordinates are not shown. Public account-profile pages are not currently available. If that changes, the relevant privacy information and visibility controls will be updated before the feature is introduced.

5. Votes, Rewards, and Virtual Items

Vote Points and other rewards are virtual service features. Vote Points are earned through eligible voting activity and may be used in the VoteShop for in-game rewards. They have no cash value, are not money or property, and cannot be sold, transferred, or redeemed for cash. Rewards and deliveries may be corrected or withdrawn if an award was invalid, duplicated, or affected by an operational error.

EvolvedWOTLK does not currently accept donations or sell paid website or game items. If this changes, the applicable terms and any payment information will be published before a paid feature is offered.

6. Content You Submit

You retain rights to content you submit, including profile avatars, player reports, messages, and evidence. You must have the rights and permissions needed to submit it and must not upload unlawful, abusive, malicious, or unnecessary sensitive information about another person.

You give the project a limited, non-exclusive permission to store, review, and use submitted content only to operate the feature for which you provided it. For example, an avatar may be shown in relevant account and leaderboard interfaces, while report evidence is made available to the reporting player and authorized staff for support and moderation. This permission ends when the content is removed, subject to the retention rules in the Privacy Policy.

7. Conduct and Prohibited Use

You may not use the website, account, or realm to:

• Cheat, exploit unintended mechanics, use unauthorized modified clients, or use scripts or automation to gain an unfair advantage.
• Harass, threaten, stalk, discriminate against, impersonate, or share another person's private information without permission.
• Spam, disrupt community features, submit false or abusive reports, or interfere with voting, rewards, or account systems.
• Buy, sell, or trade accounts, gold, items, boosts, carries, or other realm advantages for real money.
• Attempt unauthorized access, scrape or overload services, distribute malware, evade security controls, or interfere with the website, realm, or infrastructure.
• Use the services in a way that violates applicable law, these Terms, or the current Server Rules.

8. Third-Party Services

Some features connect to third-party services, including Discord, Cloudflare Turnstile, external voting providers, and externally hosted game resources. Those services are operated independently and have their own terms and privacy notices. EvolvedWOTLK does not control their availability or their separate handling of information.

9. Moderation and Account Restrictions

The operator may review reports, moderate submitted content, and restrict or suspend an account when reasonably needed to enforce these Terms or the Server Rules, protect users or infrastructure, investigate abuse, or comply with law. Measures may include warnings, mutes, feature restrictions, temporary suspension, item or reward correction, or permanent removal. Decisions may take account history, severity, and the safety of the community.

You may contact support to ask about an account action. Do not send passwords, session cookies, or two-factor recovery codes in a support request.

10. Availability and Changes

The website and game realm are provided on an as-available basis. Maintenance, security incidents, infrastructure issues, balancing, or project needs may require downtime, changes, rollbacks, restrictions, or discontinuation. Public status information is provided for convenience and may be delayed or incomplete.

11. Privacy

The Privacy Policy explains how account, technical, gameplay, support, and security information is handled. The Cookie Policy lists browser cookies and explains how to manage them.

12. Updates and Governing Law

These Terms may be updated as the service changes or to reflect legal or operational requirements. The current version and effective date are shown above; significant changes will be highlighted on the website where appropriate. These Terms are governed by the laws of The Netherlands, subject to any mandatory legal protections that apply to you.
