Overview

Garona is a launch day PvE server, meaning that it was one of the few servers that were brought online at the same time that World of Warcraft was released on November 23, 2004. The name of the server is originated from the half-orc Assassin, Garona Halforcen.

Garona currently has one of the highest unbalance of Alliance to Horde players, currently at 2.3:1 Alliance to Horde with 39,010 total players.

End Game Progression

Garona is home to many guilds but is not as quickly progressed as other notable launch day servers. From Onyxia until the Sunwell in patch 2.4.3, the guild Lunaris was top ranked on the server with achieving nearly every server first kill. Edge has been the leaders on the server in terms of first kills since then.

Famous Players

Garona is home to a few famous WoW players:

  • Sinzarx (formerly Sinzar of Lunaris) - US First 80 Death Knight and Northrend Vanguard in Wrath of the Lich King.
  • Apathy (formerly Sormac) - Famous signature meme on R&D forums.
  • Speakeasy - Former recruitment officer of Risen before their disbandment.

History

Pre-BC

When World of Warcraft was first released, one of the largest guilds on the server was AllianceClan Silver Beard who reached the maximum guild limit by granting ever member the ability to invite. During the Onyxia/Molten Core raiding days, AllianceLunaris, HordeZug Zug, AllianceAlliance of Exile, AllianceApex and HordeContingency Plan were the server leading guilds.

Come Blackwing Lair, AllianceLunaris still lead the server in first kills followed closely by HordeZug Zug, AllianceApex, AllianceThe Empire, HordeContingency Plan and AllianceAlliance of Exile.

In Ahn'Qiraj, AllianceLunaris still kept server first obtaining the only server kills of C'Thun and Viscidus. Second was AllianceThe Empire, HordeZug Zug and AllianceNoctum. Many guilds died off during this time leaving only a few select progressed ones. Hansel (Armory) was the only scepter holder and therefore the only person to obtain the title/bug mount on Garona.

Inside Naxxramas, AllianceLunaris still maintained their lead followed very closely by AllianceThe Empire and AllianceNoctum. Neither Sapphiron or Kel'Thuzad were killed at level 60 by any guild on Garona.
