[Question]About vanilla and TBC

[newwowserver]

Hello

whats the best emulators for vanilla and TBC at the moment?(for large number of players and functionality/stability)

Thanks

IS SKYFIREONE the best 2.4.3 emu?is it compatible with trinitycore auth server?

The best 2.4.3 (TBC) emu is without a doubt Cmangos, located@https://github.com/cmangos.
Their classic "zero" core ain't too bad either, I'd probably use it if I were to host a classic server.

Arcemu and Ascent can still be found but there are no active developers updating the core or the database. As for MangosOne, TrinityOne and OregonCore they are mostly dead, a few updates now and then. CMangos would be the best bet.

ok but can cmangos handle too many players?how much can it handle?

Depends on the internet and the server you are hosting the emulator on. The core can easily hold 1000+ players on a nice host.

can you suggest good hosts you know please?
is Cmangos classic and tbc 100% functional as people say?

Thanks for help

Depends on what you mean by functional, well most emulators work you are able to start them but once you start playing you will find lots of issues. But the thing with Cmangos is that they have active developers so if you were to report all the issues you find on their issue tracker they would probably solve them eventually.

But if you mean this:

Warrior: 99%
Shaman 98%
Rogue 96%
Black Temple 100%

Then I have nothing else to say but shame on you.
People who write this on their releases are braindead, rep-hunting doucebags. No emulator is even close to those values, maybe in a few years

TrinityCore or MAYBE OregonCore are probably the best for TBC.
They are functional and TC is very well structured. The last stable core is 3 years old or so but back then could easily hold 2.5k players. The problem is, you will have to re-write movemaps from cmangos.
The general structure of all these 3 is pretty much the same. So don't be afraid (if you actually know what you're doing) to download them all 3, if you start fixing stuff.

CMangos, or if you pay someone a large amount of money to code for you.
But most emulators are developed by people working for free that is one of the reasons why development is going slow, contributors come and go.

If you have more questions, just ask and I'll try help as much as I can

[newwowserver]

how much money to pay people for coding exactly?
or should i start the server without coding for a start?

thanks

I don't know how much you will have to pay someone to code stuff for you but compile your own emulator first and learn the basics and how to operate them.
When you have enough experience with it you can look-into adding custom code yourself or have someone doing it for you. But Cmangos emulator is great, and if you run into something that's wrong or not working ingame you just report it on their issue tracker and they will take care of it eventually.
