Free of charge.
As for the internet: dedicated IP-address available and 70/15mbit up at the moment. After some rough calculations 15mbit will be more than sufficient for the initial player base.
If the server catches wind in it's sails i can either upgrade the upload or move it physically or migrating it to a data center. I'm willing to cover the cost so that the realm stays donations free, might do donations for vanity items if it gets big to cover expenses.
I work as an infrastructure engineer so I'm able to help you out with the underlying architecture/VMware, databases, covering licences for windows server etc and keeping the servers healthy. I have also done some java/c++/vb programming but i have never touched scripting in wow.
I got two friends interested in building a community as well, one of them works as a coder(c++/java) and the other one studies it at a university.
As I am considering this as my new hobby and investing my spare time into this I want this project to succeed. So i want someone who is willing to do a kick ass job
We would also like the server version to be vanilla 1.12 and as blizzlike as possible.
Anyone interested?
