Hmm... so it shows you what the areas were like in each expansion? That looks like Idyllshire before it was finished... does Revenant's Toll look unfinished as well? I remember it having different stages of completion during the 2.x patches This could be a really interesting way of revisiting zones that have gone through permanent visual changes during each patch/expansion. Does it let you select which patch as well?
I don't really know enough about the project to give much of an answer. Their github shows they have multiple branches. 3.0, 3.3, 5.58 & retail. Their launcher let's you choose expansions too but I'm not sure if that locks out other content or not but I think you have to be on a specific patch before the server will even load at all depending on which branch you are using. Their main focus is the 3.3 branch, so they don't have to keep playing catch up with retail, and that is the branch I used as well.
Well, I'm just taking guesses here, but if you know how to develop server stuff, I'd assume you could make custom battles and missions and probably more. But for normal people like me, I'd say being able to change drop rates, exp rate rates, Gil rates, movement speed, and being able to give yourself any weapon/armor you want if you choose or change shop prices. That would be up to the server owner, though, if it was a public server. I'm just a fan of the project and was lucky enough to use their guide and build the server for fun.
Its a good way of preserving the game - especially if expansion after expansion has removed story beats with cumulative patches. WoW Classic wouldnt have been a thing if not for fans saving as much of the code as possible and running private servers for Classic, BC, WoTLK and even Cata. While I dont use a private server; I will say one of my biggest fears is the day SQ or any other company decides to just pull the plug on the servers rather than offering one more purchase option to make the game install a stand alone offline version.
The projects main focus seems to be 2.0 to 3.3 or that's what their wiki says but they do have other branches that go up to like 5.5+ but I haven't tried to build any of those since their setup guide covers 2.0 to 3.3. I doubt much works past ARR, though.
This is sick. It would be cool to go back and play old Diadem content.
TP'S BACK LETS FREAKIN GO
This is impressive. I wonder if there are cut content, models or quests in the code.
so nostalgic, what id do to play HW DRG one more time

the teleport command makes me wonder if going into the negatives would make people teleport into testing areas? lol
Aww congrats. Sorry I haven't been able to help but congrats anyway.
What's the use of a private server aside from being free? What changes are you able to implement to make the game better

No monthly payments ?
Impressive! does this work with current content too?
