Yeah me. Too, the biggest hurdle was understanding that the code, dB and scripts need to be in versions fitting together. Until then it was a bit off 🤣.
But as you said, about 10 years back but even on a pretty small vm for me and friends.
Comment on I self hosted a World of Warcraft server.
Kirp123@lemmy.world 5 days agoI did it like 10 or so years back? It was pretty easy to be completely honest and didn’t require too many resources, at least not if you’re the only one using the server. You just run the server locally and then use the client to connect to that server. That’s basically it.
And no, the game comes with all the quests and everything, you don’t need to really do anything else. The downsides is that you’ll be locked out of a bunch of content like dungeons and raids since those require groups of 5 or more players.

I have read that modern servers have np. Bots you can add so you can do dungeons and stuff. I haven’t tried myself. Would love to find a guide on how to set up a Linux host.
