[Question]Back to making a server, which emu?

[Drakketh]

To start off, I know this question has been asked so many times but I tried searching and couldn't find anything related to this. I'm about to make a WoW server again but last time I made a server the only popular emulators were MaNGOS and Ascent. Now I've been hearing things about ArcEmu and Summit. From what I've seen Summit is private for now, but that leaves me deciding between MaNGOS, Ascent and ArcEmu.

Basically I'm trying to find out which emu is the least buggy and has the most things working. I really don't care for the stability as long as it's not crashing every 5 minutes with 10 people on. I know I'll probably have a few people come and flame me for asking a repeated question but to anyone that helps, I'd really appreciate it

Well, Ascent is dead now.
Mangos is always an alternative =D
And then there is ArcEmu.
I represent ArcEmu and we've got the most fixes in game, meaning like class fixes ect, stability wont be bad on a server of that size, but when it gets up in the hundreds it might

You can find out how to compile Arc here @ our Wiki: Main Page - Wiki
Just click your Operating System's link and your good to go =D

Enjoy.

Mangos is not as stable as ascent and arcemu, like 90% of quests work, and you have all mobs scripted in c++ (I prefer mangos overall) Mangos has much more coders and has been around for a long time. Although alot of people chose stability over less bugs its a really great core (Not considered as a emulator)
Arcemu is just a copy of ascent. Its stable but not as many bugs fixed as mangos.
ascent Dunno people say its more stable etc.

[Hasbro]

Um, Sweeny, we are not just a copy of Ascent. You've no idea what you're talking about.
Mangos is probably more stable then Arc with more then 1000 players on nix.

Pretty much all I've heard from people is saying that Arcemu is just a copy of ascent, and mangos has like 16 Latency just with one person, and crashes after like 700 people on.

[Hasbro]

You cannot give information based off of what you've heard considering how incorrect people usually are without any facts.

ArcEmu was OpenAscent, which was AscentEmu.
After the close of AscentEmu we formed OpenAscent which later died after about 380 revisions, we now have ArcEmu which has continued to prove as the best Ascent emulator in the eyes of many, in the eyes of some its the worst because they're jealous of all the work we've done and how far we've come.

Mangos is still a very good emulator and if everything on your server is configured correctly you shouldn't have a problem.
Of course I'm going to insist you use ArcEmu because I run the project, but if you want gameplay use Arc, if you want quests use Mangos as thats what we both focus on lol =)

Any more questions ask =D

[HawjPawj]

I'm in the same boat as you, except I'm having to switch from Ascent to a different Emu. I have been hearing good things about ArcEmu, but I've heard the same about a lot of the smaller, less well known ones too...

And also Kobold, wich is doing very good also
Ascent is official dead, but people still continue to contribute and develop...
Arcemu started off where ascent officially died and continued developing right?
So if i was you i would pick: Ascent, Arcemu OR Kobold
Mangos is alternative indeed

To people who say MaNGOS is unstable:

[latruwski]

in the eyes of some its the worst because they're jealous of all the work we've done and how far we've come.

You done nice work... but not that imba much you know lets say 1% of what ascent had you did? or less... You started good, but have long long way to go
I hope you do it very well though

Anyhow Ascent is alive again Just heard a bunch of people started actually working on the project again so... let the competition begin?

A lot of people still use ascent though... like we do... and we have our reasons just like many others i think

And pls dont start flame or anything... i don't wanan be harsh or something, but the work you guys have done is still nothing compared to what old ascent had done... it is up to you to continue and work hard to get as far as ascent did once and probably soon it will do again since it is reviving

Ascent is not 'officially' dead the website and forums are down thats all, there are still a few developers doing a good job working on it, 2.4.3 support etc, )not taking sides etc tho). The emulator that is best depends on the user personally since they all have their wide range of features, problems etc.

the reason that OpenAscent closed, because all hasbro wanted was to get his greedy hand on donation money. (now he uses adds)

meaning all the good devs left, and meaning no major things would be added to arcemu. nuff said.

luckely some old devs are continueing ascent again Our server devs have always continued ascent, so soon ascent might have a real team again that will pwn arcemu/openascent? lets wait and see

[SectorSeven]

OpenAscent r372-3 are the best Emus/Revs to choose from out there.
