How to make 2 realms(the real way)

[Driven00]

Still the question about making 2 realms, but with DIFFERENT Character databases stays..
Same World Database and same account... So you can login with the same
account on both realms, but without the same characters... How do I do
this? (I'm not the only one that wants to know this )
+Rep If you help me out!

Rep, Thank you.

you simply just make two different character databases and set up the second config file to the second character database if that makes sense.

To other people, to make a 3rd realm just repeat it and name is as server3 this would be the most logical.

For two different patches of the server you will need to have two WoW's one at the 2.4.3 patch and the other at 3.0.9/3.1.3 or what ever its at now.

And to the person who asked can this be done with arcemu, yes it can this is what it was orginally based of and it can also be done with hearthstone/aspire or any other ascent based Emu.

Account & Character DB's are combined, If i change the direction to the character database, the config will search for the account database aswell in that character database...

<CharacterDatabase Hostname = "localhost" Username = "" Password = "" Name = "logon" Port = "3306" Type = "1">

It includes the accounts database location

I dont understand your question... If your server is on local host and your playing from local host you will always stay at 0MS - No latency = No lag.

Hey, i saw your topic about setting up 2 realms, but it is really giving me a hard time, could you assist me?

Situation one: I start my logon server & connect my main realm to it, i can logg in fine, i have all my characters and everything works fine!

Situation two: I start my logon server & connect my secondary realm to it, i can see the server, but i get stuck at 'logging into game server' - no matter how many times i try

Situation three: I start my logon server & connec both my main and secondary server to it, all of a sudden i can now logg into both realms, but they are the same, just with different realm names?! When i create a character it appears on BOTH realms and so on, same settings on both realms... WHY? Here is my config (or some of it):

Main server: arcemu-realms.conf

<LogonServer Address = "5.87.170.98" 
             Port = "8093"
             Name = "Default Logon"
             RealmCount = "1">

<Realm1 Name = "SDW TEST SERVER"
        Address = "5.87.170.98:8129"
        Icon = "PVE"
        Population = "1.0"
        TimeZone = "3">

Secondary Realm: arcemu-realms.conf

<LogonServer Address = "5.87.170.98"
             Port = "8093"
             Name = "Default Logon"
             RealmCount = "1">

<Realm1 Name = "SDW Instance Realm"
        Address = "5.87.170.98:8129"
        Icon = "PVP"
        Population = "2.0"
        TimeZone = "3">

Main Server: arcemu-world.conf

<WorldDatabase Hostname = "localhost" Username = "root" Password = "..." Name = "arcemu" Port = "3306" Type = "1">
<CharacterDatabase Hostname = "localhost" Username = "root" Password = "..." Name = "characters" Port = "3306" Type = "1">

<Listen Host = "0.0.0.0"
        WorldServerPort = "8129">

<VoiceChat Enabled="1"
           ServerIP="5.87.170.98"
           ServerPort="3727">

<RemoteConsole Enabled="0"
               Host="0.0.0.0"
               Port="8092">

Secondary realm: arcemu-world.conf

<WorldDatabase Hostname = "localhost" Username = "root" Password = "..." Name = "arcemu2" Port = "3306" Type = "1">
<CharacterDatabase Hostname = "localhost" Username = "root" Password = "..." Name = "characters2" Port = "3306" Type = "1">

<Listen Host = "0.0.0.0"
        WorldServerPort = "8130">

<VoiceChat Enabled="1"
           ServerIP="5.87.170.98"
           ServerPort="3727">

<RemoteConsole Enabled="0"
               Host="0.0.0.0"
               Port="8092">

Any ideas ?

Thanks

no there not. Both come in seperate SQL files. and in the configs you change it on the logonserver.conf (the logon database). If you have combined then your abit out of luck unless you want to move tables around which i would suggest if your new to the scene.

<Realm2 Name = "SDW Instance Realm"
        Address = "5.87.170.98:8129"
        Icon = "PVP"
        Population = "2.0"
        TimeZone = "3">

That should fix it.

Dont you need a 2nd characters database to have different characters on the servers?
