Update
So, i think the sound manager is completed. All memory leaks are eliminated.
Also i replaced the placeholder particle with real particles/missiles from the original game.
I improved the UI as well, tho im far from fully completing the UI, i focus on the main functionality first.

Update
Added BOSS functionality. It's booring to kill NPCs over and over again, there will be bosses as well!
Also i completed the complete level functionality. This means you are able to enter and finish the level.
The only condition to finish the level is you must kill all enemy NPC's and bosses.

Update
Level 1 is complete and it's 5 minutes and 50 seconds long(if you speedrun it)
From now i will be posting less updates to keep the game interesting when you finally get to play it.
EDIT: The night elf looks geared but i will replace the model. As i said, you will progress as you complete the levels.
At level 1 you start with only 1 spell - Frost Bolt. It has 1.5 second cast time, 1.2 seconds cd, and low damage.
As you progress, you get more spells and the character changes it's appearance.
-
Update
The game's cover is created.
Also level 2 is complete. Level 2 is 10 minutes in length when you speedrun it.
The game's length is currently 15 minutes in total. You can see how fast i work
Please support this project by sharing this post with friends.

Update
Level 4 is already completed.
The current game length is 30 minutes.
What you see on the screenshot is just random screenshot from westfall.
Im not gonna throw many screenshots over here. You will explore everything yourself when i release this.
-
Update
Your hero level is now vissible, as well as npc level ect, i will add xp bar as well.
Now when you hover a spell in the action bar, you can see the spell details, just like in WoW.
The game curently has 6 levels, and here are the lengths of curent levels.
level 1 - 6 minutes
level 2 - 10 minutes
level 3 - 7 minutes
level 4 - 7 minutes
level 5 - 6 minutes
level 6 - 11 minutes
- total of 47 minutes gameplay curently
-
Update
I just finished scripting the lich king. This is just a showcase of the boss fights.
The lich king fights, speaks, casts spells. And the fight is pretty balanced.
You can see in the video i was often about to get killed but i allways survive because i follow my rotation.
The game reached 1 Hour and 30 minutes of gameplay. I have to create like 8 more levels.
By then the game will probbably reach 2 hours of gameplay, and then i will prepare it for releasing.
Stay tuned for more update. And please post here if you think something is not okay or needs to be
worked on. Any feedback or opinion is welcome in this topic.

Total gameplay length for now - 1 hour 44 minutes.
I will add couple more levels to reach 2 hours of gameplay.
And then i will create the game's cinematics and trailer.
And what's left is to protect my game engine from decompilation.
And i will finally release it. Stay tuned because the time is near.
PS: I know there are many people watching this post and await the release.
I know that in the end you will download the game and play it. Please at least come here
and throw a few words on this topic. Tell me your opinion, what do you think about this project ect?
It really helps a lot. When no one talks, i feel like this is a dead end project.
-
Update
This is what the trailer and the cinematics would have looked like(that's before rendering, they would have looked like the blizzard cinematics). Levels are complete and the game offers 2 hours of gameplay.
However, i see lack of support here. I mentioned that i do this game in memory of my old private server. And i completed the game. That was my goal. And about the amount of content? That depends on the amount of support i would get from the community. And since i got 0 support...I will cut the project here. Thank you for the 0 support. Soon i am releasing this as it is. There is really no point to continue adding content since no one cares about this project.

I don't believe in this. I was once a boy full of life enjoying the game through this private server. Now i am a broken man, exausted of everything. It's been like 4 years since the shutdown of the server, and i am still suffering for it.
The project is released btw, you can download it from here.

FOR THE SAKE OF THE OLD MONSTER WOW GLORY DAYS WHEN I WASNT GOING TO SCHOOL AND WHEN I WAS FREE FROM JOB FOR 5 YEARS STRAIGHT AND WHEN THE SUN WAS GLOWING IN MY ROOM EVERY DAY AND I WAS IN THE SERVER FREE FROM ANYTHING
RIP MONSTER WOW
I WILL FORGIVE, FORGET, CUZ I KNOW THAT IT WILL SET ME FREE, BUT ALL THAT'S LEFT IS EMPTYNESS INSIDE OF ME.

Here is a powerful video too sad i am the only one who can value all of this. I don't remember a Monster WoW player ever coming to me and say it was a good server.
"This is what is left from Monster-WoW. No players, nobody. Just the grave of my character and the memories inside me."
