    Information for Beginners

    If your starting out in the world of emulation you should understand the following to better understand how everything works, etc. This is just the basics for starting out in world of warcraft emulation without the uneeded extra information. Sorry if this is a 'repost'.

    WoW Emulation History

    Refer to this link regarding WoW Emulation History - 01 - Ancient History - GotWOW?

    Understand the Emulator and which to use

    There are Five Main Emulators right now for World of Warcraft;

    MaNGos - The Most Stable and fully working emulator at the moment,
    TrinityCore - the second most stable and fully working emulator; based off of MaNGOs,
    ArcEmu - an WoWD emulator based off of OpenAscent; Supporting patch 3.3.2, very flexible.
    Sandshroud - an emulator based off of AspireCore aka Hearthstone, which is based off of Summit; another WoWD based emulator with alot of bug fixes, vehicles, latest patch support,etc.
    ApexEmu - an emulator based off of ArcEmu; supporting latest patch support as well with various bug fixes.

    I recommend either using TrinityCore if you want a 100% blizzlike realm, or Sandshroud/ArcEmu/ApexEmu; if you want a fully customizable realm without any limits regarding what you can or cannot add to your server if your an C++ illiterate.

    Understanding the Database



    The database is the most important thing you need other then the emulator itself, it contains all the information the emulator needs to emulate the game intself so that you can create your own character, have npc's/mob's spawned, and have certain areas work so that you can play. This is REQUIRED in order to start the emulator of your choice; as well as adding custom content for you and your players.

    There are a few databases out there that I actually recommend.

    UDB: Mangos Database
    PSMDB: Project Silvermoon Database; Mangos Database
    SADB: Sandshroud Aspire Database
    TDB: TrinityCore Database
    IFDB: ArcEmu/ApexEmu Database

    Extra: Links
