If you are reading this, most likely you have already heard about Trinit圜ore. Simply because it has been the most successful WoW emulator of all times. A lot of servers and other emulators out there are based on it.

Originally created as a fork of MaNGOS, with time it outclassed its father. In recent times, Trinit圜ore no longer has the same amount of active developers of its golden age. Despite of that, it is still strong enough to target the latest version of World of Warcraft (currently BfA). the project has less active developers than it used to have.the master branch is not fully playable yet (all the contents after WOTLK aren’t completed enough).the best choice for who wants the latest version of World of Warcraft.However the new version is not fully playable yet. Supported WoW versions: Wrath of The Lich King ( 3.3.5a)ĪzerothCore was created as a continuation of SunwellCore (which was based on Trinit圜ore and provided a high-quaity game experience). Since its creation, it got several updates also importing fixes and features from newer versions of Trinit圜ore and CMaNGOS.

Its community has grown, today many private servers are using or considering migrating to AzerothCore. The exclusive feature of AzerothCore is the modular system that allows to make customizations without modifying directly the core source code. That makes easy for servers to keep their source version updated and reuse custom code. only supports version 3.3.5a, it looks like that there are no official plans for other versions of WoW.unlike other emulation projects, changes to the master branch are tested in PRs before being merged (good stability).simple to add and manage custom features using the module system.probably the best choice in terms of gameplay quality (closer to blizzlike).There is even a public collection of modules created by the community. Supported WoW versions: Classic ( 1.12), The Burning Crusade ( 2.4.3), Wrath of The Lich King ( 3.3.5a)Ĭ-MaNGOS means Continued-MaNGOS and it’s the direct continuation of the original MaNGOS project. Supported WoW versions: Cataclysm ( 4.3.4) Official source repository: h ttps:///cmangos not all former MaNGOS developers are active.one of the best options for Classic and TBC versions.According to the GitHub stars count of the official repositories, it is the most loved for its WoW Classic repository.
