What it is

Stand anywhere you love in the open world, type .camp claim, and that ground is yours — your account's Warband Camp. Furnish it from 69 props: campfires, tents, forges, banners, all the way up to whole buildings. It belongs to your account, so every character you own shares the same camp — and your alts live there: they wake at login, leave the party, and stroll around the camp on their own. Whisper one of them $follow and it comes adventuring.

Suggested by community member AeonFlux across two Discord threads — the headline feature of v1.5.0, and it exists because they asked for it.

How other people see it

Each camp sits in its own phase. Its tents and firepits are invisible to the world at large — walk within 40 yards and the camp appears around you; walk out and it fades. You keep seeing the normal world the whole time, and players always see each other no matter whose camp they stand in. So a friend simply walks in. No invite list, no instance, no loading screen — on purpose. And the distance is the owner's to set: since v1.5.1, ViewDistance ships at 40 — at 0, camps appear at client draw distance, so you can ride through a zone and see every warband as you pass.

The commands

A first camp, in six lines:

.camp claim
.camp place tent
.camp place campfire
.camp place wagon
.camp place barrel
.camp place banner

The rules, stated plainly

• ✓
  The camp belongs to your account — every character you own shares one camp.
• ✓
  Claim anywhere in the open world. Refused inside instances, battlegrounds, arenas, capital cities, sanctuaries, indoors, in water, in the air, on a boat or zeppelin, on a bridge or roof, and within 150 yards of someone else's camp.
• ✓
  Props are set down in front of you — further out for bigger things, so you never end up standing inside a wagon.
• ✓
  .camp go has a 5 minute cooldown and is blocked in combat, while dead, in a battleground or arena — and for anyone sworn to The Pilgrim's Way (an oath is an oath).
• ✓
  Props per camp: the owner's choice — MaxProps ships at 200, 0 means unlimited.

All 69 props

The name is what you type after .camp place.

For server owners

• ✓
  Ships OFF — Warband Camps change the world, so the realm owner opts in: WowLegends.WarbandCamp.Enabled.
• ✓
  WowLegends.WarbandCamp.MaxProps — props per camp (ships 200, 0 = unlimited).
• ✓
  WowLegends.WarbandCamp.AutoAlts — alts gather automatically at login (or on demand with .camp alts).
• ✓
  Staff (since v1.6.0). .camp place banker, merchant, barkeep, guard-human and guard-orc bring people into your camp instead of props: your own bank and vendor at your own fire. Up to 6 per camp, guards take your faction, and .camp remove sends the nearest one home. .camp props lists them under “People you can bring in”.
• ✓
  New in v1.7.0 — a steward and rotation (supporters first). .camp place steward brings Grenn Fastfuse: repairs at the normal cost, a working mailbox, a cure for resurrection sickness and “reset my dungeons” (owners can switch each service off: WowLegends.WarbandCamp.Steward.*). .camp rotate turns the prop nearest you without moving it: 45° right, a number of degrees, left/right, or face.
• ✓
  WowLegends.WarbandCamp.AltsSameFactionOnly — only same-faction alts gather (ships on; 0 = whole account together). Since v1.5.1.
• ✓
  WowLegends.WarbandCamp.ViewDistance — how close someone must be before a camp appears (ships 40; 0 = client draw distance). Since v1.5.1.

Prefer buttons to typing? The Player addon now has a Warband Camp tab — claim, place and manage every prop by click. Still on the roadmap: a Warband Bank at your camp — planned, not built yet. And as always: everything is server-side on a clean 3.3.5a client. No client patches, ever.
