On 11 March 2017 the duel server Duke of York (DoY) disappeared from the server list of WotR and subsequently our beloved game itself came to an end in the following days after the shutdown.

Initially, noone could believe in an end of a server which seemingly couldn't have been beaten.
Hasn't DoY under the lead of Stalweidism lost a single war?
Duke of York was here for 714 days and there hadn't been one day where DoY was offline. Why should end such a glorious era of duell server history on its very peak?

Still, on 11. 3. 2017 everything ended and DoY went into darkness for the first time in its history.

Even though DoY went offline, we keep our promise that DoY will be here as long WotR exists. Although our beloved game is dead, don't we all have memories of our golden days playing in an arena with our friends - and just having a good time?
As long as we have those great memories, WotR isn't really dead – it still continues to exist in our hearts.


Originally, DoY was created in a period where you could smell the scent of change in the air; it was a time where ideas of revolution and and ideals of freedom were spread amongst the community in order to fight the cruel tyrants of the infamous WB duel server, Josif Stalin and PoE.

Right now DoY is being forged again by this very energy of change and desire to find a new home for the community. You can clearly see a bright future ahead of us – but for this future we need to reunite, the whole WotR community as one:

Thats why I am calling you! I am invoking you all! I am speaking not only to old DoY veterans, but also to all WotR players! We all loved WotR! Yes, we really did. It was our beloved game... and when WotR died, it was a black day for all of us.
Now, I am telling you, we can get this wonderful experience back: Memories of unique friendships, nerve-wrecking clan wars, exciting tournaments and community events; literally everything you can wish for!


So, to sum it up, we are hosting a new Duke of York duel server... this time in Mordhau! I know, it is not WotR, but does it really matter?

The rules are the same as in DoY, owners are the same (Hein Vonderweid and Josif Stalin), admins are the same (Dracco, Polaris and so on), everything is just the same! And the last thing that has to be the same is naturally YOU: The people, the community. The very same community which made our duell server the best one in WotR history. Without you, it wouldn't have been possible!

So, if you would like to see DoY again, if you want to play with the same people as years before, if you want to feel and see WotR friendship, WotR clan wars, clan tournaments, an active communtiy which will be involved in our political system, visit and start to play on our new Duke of York duel server in Mordhau!

The server will be released tomorrow: 02.06.2019 at 10:00 o'clock in the morning.
