The Rusty Nail Tavern
In the heart of the Isle of Blackwake (Rustberg Village, Tol Barad Proxy) lies a haven where the clashing swords of the Horde and Alliance give way to clinking mugs and shared tales—the Rusty Nail Tavern. A cornerstone of the Free Seas Community , this tavern welcomes adventurers, traders, and storytellers from all corners of Azeroth, offering a rare neutral ground where allegiances fade and camaraderie flourishes.
OOC: We are open every Tuesday unless stated otherwise in our Discord. All factions are welcomed and we just as ask that you bring some tongues potions and respect others! This is a free port under pirate code and protection. Normal operating hours are from 7pm to 9pm CST.

This is by far one of the best neutral communities I’ve ever interacted with! They have so much going on outside of just a Tavern and it makes everything so much more comprehensive and immersive.

Rusty Nail Closure and Remodeling
Upcoming Closures: 7/23, 7/30, 8/27, and 9/3
Greetings, esteemed patrons of the Rusty Nail,
We hope this message finds you well. Our shamans have sensed a rare and powerful summer storm approaching the Isle of Blackwake. For the safety of our patrons and staff, we will postpone our remodeling plans and close the Rusty Nail on July 23rd and July 30th. If the predictions hold true, the Rusty Nail will now be closed for remodeling on August 27th and September 3rd. During this time, we will transform the Rusty Nail into an even more enchanting haven.
We understand this temporary closure may be inconvenient, but your safety is our priority. When we reopen, you will be stepping into a transformed tavern, brimming with magic and adventure. Thank you for your understanding and support. We look forward to welcoming you back for the grand unveiling on September 10th.
Warm regards,
The Rusty Nail Management
(We are closing on 7/23 and 7/30 for the TWW Pre-Patch and Pre-Patch Event, and then again on 8/27 and 9/3 for the first two weeks of the official TWW launch. Watch for other events and social get togethers in our Discord for more information.)
