The title really says it all, but I’m self hosting world of Warcraft wrath of the lich king.

I’m just so shocked that it all works to be honest. It’s blowing my mind still.

I always want to play classic wow, but I play so infrequently that it’s not worth paying a subscription.

It never really occurred to me that I could just host my own server until chatgpt recommended that when I was researching things to self hosting.

It’s not public yet as my upload speeds are too slow.

I think I’m going to set the server up on my laptop so I can play wow while on my 14 hour flight coming up.

I’ve always played the game solo anyway due to my casualness.

I've been seriously turned off by the grind of WoW. Are you able to do something like reduce the XP level scaling or something so that every level is like 30m and improve drop rates?

[–] Duke_Nukem_1990@feddit.org 3 points 1 year ago

With AzerothCore you can, yes.

You can also just play as a GM.

I’m not exactly sure what powers you have as a gm, but I think it’s pretty extensive.

I’m still fine tuning the server and haven’t played much.

Update, I downloaded the VMangos database. It looks like it might be possible to edit drop rates with creature_loot_template(ChanceOrQuestChance) and XP gain by using creature_template(xp_multiplier)

I haven't hosted anything yet but it could be tested by editing a Chicken's xp_multiplier from 0.0 to 1.0
