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.
You can mod the database for creatures to drop more xp, gold and loot from the looks of it.
Yeah! And it’s super easy, just find the line that corresponds to drop rate or exp from mob/ questions and change it from 1 to 10 and get 10x.
I have exp and gold set to x2
Yeah, I might actually play wow since I can reduce the XP scaling by a lot. It goes from 50 mobs at lvl 10 to 600+ to level up at lvl 60. I have a 7mo old no way I have time for that hahaha.
I use SQL for work so I can mod the DB easily to remove the exponential scaling in favor of linear scaling like mob XP scales.
