ryzomcore VS azerothcore-wotlk

Ryzom - Commercial MMORPG available on Steam went open source. C++

Wrote a case conversion that processes UTF-8 directly last year for Ryzom Core. The tables look like a mess, but it massively improved performance over the code that was replaced. Case changes seem to be called more often than I expected in the game. I do wonder if there's any cleaner and faster way.

I was trying to find the name of a small mmo that I thought had released source and found the post Any open source MMO servers? which is old but may have some other code that's interesting to read (like ryzom which seems to be still running and active).

Azerothcore - World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King server emulation. C++

Cool, I didn't realize Runescape private servers were a thing still.

I contribute to AzerothCore[0] pretty regularly. There's a lot of improvements that could be made, but it's overall fun and the majority of people who frequent their Discord are friendly enough.

Since Blizzard closed WoW in China, I found https://www.azerothcore.org/. They have a simple docker setup tutorial. I’ve been playing for a month and it’s been very interesting because they only support the English client. I’ve also learned a lot of English and currently feel great exploring the whole world alone.

Azerothcore is what Chromiecraft runs on. I recommend joining AC discord, lots of nice people there, great place if you want to learn/improve coding.

I don't have any experience with running a server, but maybe AzerothCore could be an option? From what I can tell it is actively being worked on with the help of ChromieCraft.
