Why I hate WoW private servers

Reasons why most private WoW servers suck (in my opinion of course). :) If you want to know more about WoW emulation, or just want to chat with me, join our development Discord chat.

This article is available in the following languages:

More translations are welcome! You can submit new language versions via Pull Requests. ;)

Disclaimer for fellow developers

IF YOU ARE A WOW EMULATION ENTHUSIAST, READ THIS BEFORE PROCEEDING:

What I am doing here is to explain things as simple as possible, so what you are going to read might not be 100% technically accurate/detailed, but I really did my best to put things in simple words in order to make it understandable for non-developers.

For example:

  • I'm aware of GPL not being exactly like AGPL and I'm aware of the ASP loophole issue.
  • I know that MaNGOS comes from WoWDaemon and I know that "MaNGOS" wasn't the only piece, but to be fair, I should mention other projects of the MaNGOS ecosystem such as ScritpDev2, UDB, et cetera.
  • I'm also aware that MaNGOS wasn't the only WoW emulator back in the days (sorry Antrix/Ascent/Arcemu guys, it is absolutely not my intention to belittle your work!).
  • ... and I'm probably aware of whatever else you might find not 100% accurate from my article.

HOWEVER... I just didn't want to make my story more technical than it already is, in order to make random WoW players understand my point.

This is NOT supposed to be an accurate story of WoW emulation. This is just supposed to make non-technical people aware of what is going on behind private servers, as nowadays most of them are running on MaNGOS-based cores.
