Mannoroth (US PvP) is a low population server (also referred to as a realm) for the MMORPG, World of Warcraft. ^[0]The server was launched in 2004 and is one of many eligible servers for inbound Character Realm Transfers. ^[1]

Mannoroth was one of the original launch servers available from day one when World of Warcraft was released.

^[1]

Mannoroth was the first PvP server in the world to open the Gates of Ahn'Qiraj, second server overall, losing to Medivh.

Though Medivh emerged victorious, some Mannoroth players still claim they were the first "legitimate" server to complete the event, as Medivh's PvE mechanics prevented cross-faction interference and made organization between Horde and Alliance a natural course of action.

By contrast, Mannoroth's war effort was hindered throughout the event by fierce competition between Horde and Alliance Scepter quest raids.

Fighting in Silithus ignited a war between the factions, causing constant server crashes due to zone overpopulation and ending in a battle at the Scarab Gong.

^[1]

The estimated Alliance to Horde ratio is 57.1% Alliance and 42.7% Horde with 0.2% Unknown (most likely Neutral Pandaren), making it a reasonably balanced server.

There are an estimated 247,499 characters on the Mannoroth server, 63.8% of which are male characters and 36.2% of which are female characters.

The most popular Character Race on Mannoroth is Human, accounting for 19.1% of the population.

The most popular Character Class on Mannoroth is Hunter, accounting for 10.8% of the total population.

The Mannoroth server is named after the barbaric leader of the pit lords, Mannoroth.

^[2]

When Archimonde was placed in command of the pit lords, he recognized Mannoroth's value as a brutal, bloodthirsty fighter and made the pit lord his second-in-command.

Mannoroth helped lead the Burning Legion in assaults on countless worlds, and led the first invasion of Azeroth.

His ruthlessness and vile cunning made him into one of the favored lieutenants of his masters, Archimonde and Kil'jaeden, the champions of the Burning Legion.

He is known as "the Destructor" and "the Flayer".

^[2]

In addition to his martial prowess, Mannoroth was a powerful spellcaster.

His magical knowledge and power exceeded even the most gifted night elf sorcerers, including Xavius and Illidan.

Of the Highborne, only Queen Azshara proved superior.

In Warlords of Draenor, he is resurrected by Gul'dan in Hellfire Citadel after having been slain by Grommash, and serves as the penultimate boss of Hellfire Citadel. ^[2]
