A free addon for WoW Forever

Clear the Screen. Claim the Ladder.

Emerse clears the clutter from your screen so the world can take center stage. And when you meet another Emerse player, every duel counts toward a ladder the whole realm can see.

Two Ways to Play

Wander in Peace. Duel for Glory.

Whether you travel the roads in quiet or seek out a worthy foe, Emerse is built for the way you play.

The Interface

Built Around How You Play

Choose your path on first login. Emerse shapes itself around it, then adapts on its own: when your party forms, when the battleground gates open, when the other faction crests the hill.

The Compass
01 / 09

The Compass

The minimap gives way to a heading bar. Your group, quests, flight paths, treasure and danger all ride along the horizon, with distances.

Hardcore

One life, no second chances.

Every threat marked on the compass, every warning in time.

PvP

Know your enemy.

War bars for your group, enemy tracking, kill on sight and Rated Duels.

PvE

Chase the next horizon.

Quests and treasure on the compass, bars that keep out of sight.

Roleplay

Live the story.

An RP book, profiles, dice and voices, in step with Total RP 3, MyRolePlay and XRP.

Rated Duels · Alpha

Every Duel Counts

No queues. No sign-ups. When two Emerse players cross blades, the result is recorded, the ratings move and the ladder remembers. A new season begins on the first of every month.

The Duel Ladder in game: rank, rating, weekly trials and the month's standings

How It Works

1

Find a Rival

Duel any Emerse player the usual way, or right-click their portrait and choose Duel.

2

Climb the Ladder

Victory raises your rating, defeat lowers it. Up to three duels a day against the same rival count.

3

Seize a Zone

Win where no one holds the title and it is yours. Defeat the reigning Zone Champion on their own ground to take it.

4

Check the Standings

Type /duels for the full rankings of both factions.

Rise Through the Ranks

Every duelist begins at 1500. Only the finest of the month will earn the title of Duelist.

Alliance crest

For the Horde. For the Alliance.

Two Factions. Two Ladders.

Each faction fights for a ladder of its own, and both stand on display. Zone Champions wear a crown on the world map, for every Emerse player to see.

A New Season Each Month

Ratings reset on the first. The top three are remembered in the Hall of Champions.

Fair Fights

Both duelists confirm every result, and the same rivals count no more than three times a day.

One Ladder for All

Results travel from player to player, so a duel fought while you were away still finds its way to you.

Weekly Trials

Three goals of your own each week: victories, new rivals and a zone to hold.

Layer Fights · Alpha

Find the Fight on Any Layer

Forever splits every zone into layers, so the battle can rage on one while yours stays quiet. Emerse players report the fights they run into, and you can join the one that needs you.

1

See Every Fight

Type /hop to see the fights on each layer of your zone, with the numbers on both sides.

2

Join the Short Side

Join asks an Emerse player on that layer for an invite. Accept, arrive, leave the group.

3

Keep It Fair

You can only join where your side is outnumbered or even. No stacking the odds.

4

Hop Back Home

Once your side has the numbers or the fight is over, Emerse asks you to hop back to your own layer.

One Download

Take Only What You Need

Required

Emerse

The heart of it all. The compass, quiet bars, the emote wheel, camera moments, controller support and the backpack.

For those who seek the fight. Rated Duels, war bars, enemy tracking, kill on sight and the world PvP finder.

Optional

Emerse RP

For those who tell the tale. The RP book, profiles, a character sheet with dice, languages and story events.

Optional

Emerse Voices

Every race finds its voice. Spoken lines for greetings, emotes and the moments between battles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Emerse free?

Yes. Emerse is free to download and free to play with.

How do I install it?

Open the CurseForge app, search for Emerse and select Install. You can also download it from the CurseForge page and place it in your Interface/AddOns folder.

How do I get my old interface back?

Type /panic and everything returns at once. /vui opens the settings, and /vui bug helps you report a problem.

What do I need for Rated Duels?

Both duelists need Emerse with its PvP part. Duel the usual way and the result counts. Rated Duels are in Alpha: the more players join, the stronger the ladder grows.

How do Layer Fights work?

When Emerse players meet the other faction, their addon reports the fight with its layer. Join asks someone on that layer for a group invite, which is how the game moves you between layers. You can only join where your side is short, and you are asked to hop back once it is even. It is in Alpha: it needs Emerse players on both layers.

Does it work with my other addons?

Yes. Emerse makes room for the addons players rely on most, including Overlord, HealKit, DialogueUI, PrettyTooltip, Total RP 3 and GatherMate2, and brings their information into view where it belongs.
