Azeroth Survivors has had co-op since game 0.114.0: up to five players survive the same horde, each on their own hero. Below is how to host, how to join, and what to do when the lobby refuses you.
Updated October 26, 2026. Checked against game 0.119.0.
Is Azeroth Survivors multiplayer?
- Yes, co-op for up to five. The party shares one run. Each player brings their own hero.
- Lobbies are public or private. Public rooms appear in a list anyone can join. Private rooms are code only. Either kind can have a password.
- Search filters. A public list can be narrowed by zone, by rooms with no password, or by zones your current hero has unlocked.
- Fourteen co-op achievements. Clear runs and party challenges together to unlock hats, cloaks, a tabard, companions, and a hunter pet perk.
- Browser only. Co-op goes through the official site, so open it at wow.aethus.pl. The Windows archive on the download page was last updated before co-op shipped.
How to host a co-op lobby
- Pick your hero and the zone on the main screen. The lobby uses both.
- Press Co-op, next to the button that enters the zone, and open Host.
- Name the lobby. A short note about the run is optional.
- Choose who can find it: Private, by code only, or Public, in the list.
- Set Max players from 1 to 5, and a password if you want one.
- Press Host the lobby and send your friends the lobby code.
- When everyone is in, close the window and enter the zone. The whole party comes along.
Lobby names and descriptions are checked. A name the game does not allow is refused. The host can kick a player from the lobby.
From the public list & filters
Press Co-op and stay on Lobbies. That list is public rooms on your game version. Three filters narrow it:
- Zone: any — keep every zone, or pick one.
- No password — only open public rooms, with no password prompt.
- Unlocked zones — only rooms in zones the hero on your picker has already opened.
With a lobby code
Press Co-op, open Join by code, enter the code your friend sent, and the password if the room has one. You play the hero on your picker, in the host's zone, and you come along when the host enters it.
Zones open per class. To join a later zone, the class on your picker has to have unlocked it. Switch to a class that has, or join a room in an earlier zone. Unlock order is on the azeroth survivors guide.
A code has to come from somewhere. If you have none, ask in the game's Discord. The azeroth survivors discord page has the invite and the short list of what to say when you ask.
What changes in a co-op run
- Going down, not dying. When you fall, you stay down until a friend stands next to you and brings you back. A bar shows how far the revive has gone.
- Party DPS. The damage meter adds a Party DPS view, and only while you are in a party.
- The host decides what is next. After a clear, the host chooses endless mode or a return to the lobby, and the party follows.
- Leaving. Anyone can use Leave the party. If the host leaves or closes the party, it ends for everyone.
Each player brings their own hero, so the azeroth survivors tier list still applies in a party.

Co-op join errors and what they mean
| The game says | What to do |
|---|---|
| You haven't unlocked this zone with this class yet | Pick a class that has opened the host's zone, or join a lobby in an earlier zone. |
| That lobby plays a different version of the game | Load the game page again so both of you are on the newest version. |
| The run is under way | The host already entered the zone. Wait for the next run. |
| The party is full | Every slot is taken. Find another lobby, or ask the host for a room with more slots. |
| Wrong password / no lobby with that code | Check the code and the password with the host. |
| Too many tries; wait a minute | Wait a minute before trying again. |
| Co-op needs the game's site | Open the game at wow.aethus.pl. |
| The co-op service cannot be reached | Check your connection and try again later. |
A blank or crowded official page is a different problem: Azeroth Survivors not working. Movement and cards are on azeroth survivors how to play.
FAQ
Is Azeroth Survivors multiplayer?
Yes. Since game 0.114.0, up to five players can share one run. You can still start a zone alone.
How many players can play together?
Up to five. The host sets the cap, anywhere from 1 to 5, when the lobby is created.
How do I play with friends?
One player opens Co-op on the main screen, hosts a lobby, and shares the lobby code. Everyone else opens Co-op, chooses Join by code, and enters that code plus the password if the room has one. When the party is in, the host enters the zone and the group follows.
How do the lobby search filters work?
On the public lobby list you can filter by a specific zone or leave it on Zone: any, turn on No password to hide locked rooms, and turn on Unlocked zones so the list only shows rooms your current hero can enter.
What rewards can I unlock in co-op?
Fourteen party achievements pay out cosmetics and companions: Admiral's Hat, Bloodsail Admiral's Hat, Whitemane's Chapeau, Cape of the Brotherhood, Cloak of the Brood Lord, Cloak of the Devoured, Contest Winner's Tabard, Mr. Bigglesworth, Ancient Protector, Mini Herod, Mini Nefarian, and the Hunter White Devilsaur pet skin.
Does co-op work in the Windows download?
Play co-op in the browser at wow.aethus.pl. Parties go through the game's own site, and the Windows archive was last updated before co-op was added.
Why can't I join a lobby?
The usual causes are a class that has not unlocked the host's zone, a different game version, a run that has already started, a full party, or a wrong password. The game names which one it is. The error table on this page matches each message to a fix.
What happens when I die in co-op?
You go down instead of leaving the run. A friend who stands next to you brings you back, and a bar shows how far the revive has gone.
Can I join a friend's run that has already started?
No. Join only works before the host enters the zone. Once the run is under way, the lobby turns new players away.
