Which game did you mean?
| Name you found | How to distinguish it |
|---|---|
| Azeroth Survivors / WoW Survivors | The Aethus original at wow.aethus.pl. Use its current client text for these guides. |
| Community reconstruction | OutThisLife’s separate rebuild. Do not mix its map or ability values into original-game advice. [4] |
| WoW Forever | A separate Blizzard game; its name reservations do not apply here. [5] |
| Hordes of Azeroth / D2 Survivors | Separate survivors projects, not alternative names for this save or client. [6][7] |
| Aevoria Survivors | A different game which a third-party Azeroth-named page labels as its embedded offering. [8] |
| Pokémon Megabonk / PokeBonk | Charcher’s separate project. Use the existing PokeBonk guide → |
