Note :: This thread was never meant to be flamed or get me flamed, if what i posted below seems like i am hurting anyones feelings or their reputation for being a emulator and they deceide to flame, Just leave and i will have a mod delete it, If you don't like what i say below, do something about it, PM me or send me a message on MSN, Don't start Drama.
Ascent(alive)
Ascent, Was once named Antrix , But Burlex decided to rename it to Ascent and fully work on the Emulator, His goal was to make Ascent Stable and hold over 1,000 or more People on a Emulator and so he did, But until patch 2.4 came out and Burlex kept 2.4 for himself for a while for some reason, Thus making the whole Ascent community to flame Burlex, In time the flames kept rising and rising and so while Everyone decided to act "childish" and flame him Burlex released 2.4 and Quit Ascent, Witch making the project dead from updates, When he quit Burlex took down the SVN and Site from others to view and use. In time other people deiced to create Emulators based off of Ascent, But lately Burlex re-opened the SVN and let some other people gain access to the SVN For updates, Thus it still is having alot of fixes and changes, Ascent's SVN is still alive and you can use it by this link "http://mmoforge.org/svn/ascent/", While it was being updated and continued by some users, they created a new Forums aswell, you can find that here "http://www.ascentcommunity.com".
ArcEMU(alive)
ArcEMU, Is a Project that is continued from the Open-Source of "OpenAscent" and started to develop and edit OpenAscent for more fixes and updates that OpenAscent has not fixed, ArcEMU Is lead by "Hasbro", He invited a bunch of C++ Developers to help him turn OpenAscent to ArcEMU and continue to make OpenAscent more and more better than it was. ArcEMU's main purpose was to give people a Emulator since Ascent was gone and that was ArcEMU's Project Team's main Goal, To make OpenAscent better and more fixed than it was, Their SVN can be found here "svn://arcemu.info/svn/arcemu" and their Website can be found here "http://www.ArcEMU.org/", They are still alive and updating their core 24/7, For those of you deceide to say any wrong statments ArcEMU IS OpenAscent.
OpenAscent(Dead)
OpenAscent, Was the first project to be based of off Ascent, It was the first and it was greatly worked on, It was stable and could support patch 2.4, The great Project was going great with a huge goal to make the Emulator's People amazed on how greatly it was worked on and how updated it was daily, The project was doing great for the first month until one day something bad has happened, I will not say because it will just cause Flames or much more things worse, Their Website is taken down, But its not "down" its still up, The regular website they have is " OpenAscent.com " and their SVN is down and shall be down, Their site is now http://www.openascent.org/ and it is alive today but its called "ArcEMU".
RebornAscent(Dead)
As what i am told, This Emulator is Dead and Gone, I am also told that 2 developers of this Emulator are working on a different core, Thus still leaving Facts the RebornAscent is still and will forever be "dead".
RebornEMU(Dead)
RebornEMU, was a EMU Project based off of OpenAscent, It was a project that was just lusted for desire of "we are better than you" project that just flamed and made fun of the Emulator "ArcEMU", After RebornEMU Stated all of these "flames" or "opinions" they started to work on some of the core and making AV(AlteracValley) working, So they did and deceided after that they thought they were much better than every other Emulator on the spot, But not better than Ascent ;), So they deceided to think they were great and stuff, The leader of the project just created this project to lure developers and scripters for his Own Server, I will not say anymore because it will give people reasons to flame, Their Website can be found here "http://rebornemu.org/", Their SVN Can be found here "http://svn.assembla.com/svn/Reborn-Emulator/".
ManGOS(Alive)
Mangos, is the first of its kind, Mangos is a project like Ascent but it wasn't very Stable and it had a core written in C# and C++, It has not proven its stability but it has proven to make people learn the feeling of a Emulator, So Mangos's goal was just to be a learning project, Its' goal was just to show the people the feeling of a Emulator and help them strive to create great Emulators like Ascent, SpuriousEMU and ArcEMU, Their Website can be found here "http://www.mangosproject.org/forum/" and their SVN can be found here "https://mangos.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/mangos/".
SpuriousEMU(Alive)
SpuriousEMU, is a Emulator written in VB.Net, Everything they have created in their core is written by The Project Team, Spurious is a closed-source atm and i hope that they will be releasing the emulator soon-or-later, Their website is "spuriousemu.com", They managed to write the whole Emulator on VB.Net and managed to make the stablity great, SpuriousEMU is probably the best emualtor that manages stability as one of its greatest concerns. Spurious is the only emulator to support Cluster (No public release yet on this), which divides out the load of each map. (For example, you can run all the major cities on one dedicated, the Outlands on another, and Azeroth on a third) This helps the lag to be very minimal and is an excellent solution to recent stability problems.
Stormcraft(Dead)
Stormcraft was the first wow emulator started by someone with little programming experience and also had little knowledge about "packets", But as the first seems to be the dead.
If i have not posted a Emulator and you want to share your information about the emulator with me, Feel free to PM me with the information.
