    Why do Cataclysm servers require custom launchers?

    The reason I ask is that it would be nice to test my protected lua scripts and such, but the custom launchers required by all private servers render the hacks useless it seems. Why is that? And is there a way to use retail hacks on private servers with these launchers?

    The patcher blocks one of the WoW connections (the streamer) as far as I'm aware. When the streamer is enabled, you can't play private servers.

    As far as retail hacks, it depends how they were designed. Retail works different to private servers, we are emulating their code and handling things differently. Some hacks will work, while others exploiting holes in Blizzard's anti-hack system will not work on private servers.
