I self hosted a World of Warcraft server. (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

The title really says it all, but I’m self hosting world of Warcraft wrath of the lich king.

I’m just so shocked that it all works to be honest. It’s blowing my mind still.

I always want to play classic wow, but I play so infrequently that it’s not worth paying a subscription.

It never really occurred to me that I could just host my own server until chatgpt recommended that when I was researching things to self hosting.

It’s not public yet as my upload speeds are too slow.

I think I’m going to set the server up on my laptop so I can play wow while on my 14 hour flight coming up.

I’ve always played the game solo anyway due to my casualness.

Is that still done with that Mangos software?

It's more likely trinitycore (which forked from mangos quite some time ago). https://github.com/TrinityCore/TrinityCore/

Mangos do still have a Wrath server branch. But specifically for 3.3.5 trinitycore is more often used.

Oh, I forgot about Azerothcore (which is a fork from Trinitycore, and absorbed some changes from certain private server source that has been released in the past).

Which you choose I think depends on what you want.

Trinitycore has a more strict development policy of doing things properly and not for example concentrating too much on getting boss fights etc "right". It's more of a technical project than "ready to go private server".

Whereas (and this is as I understand it, I've not done any work for the project directly) Azerothcore is a bit more lax in their requirements. Now, don't take this to mean they accept bad code. It just means they don't have the stricter guidelines that trinitycore have.

I could be wrong though. I've been out of the game for a while now.
