WoW Private Server - Questions from Newbie

[Dimman]

If I understand you correctly, you want to make a public server.
I suggest compiling your own server, in other words make your own repack...
There should be tuts. in the tutorial section:
http://mmopro.net/forums/server-guides/.
If you need help picking a core and/or DB.
Core: Arcemu
DB: WhyDB
(These are my picks.)

MaNGOS is better more stable and many top 1-10 servers are running on a mangos based core but its your choice arcemu is more noobfriendly

I didn't know. I started with Arcemu and I never really had a reason to try something else but thx for the heads up.
Imma give MaNGOS a try.
