I just checked the server without logging into the game and it’s using like 106% of the CPU on idle when I logged in and played a little bit. It didn’t change too much but it’s consistently running that high at idle because I guess things in the game world are running so I’m probably going to stop the service and start it when I’m gonna play to just lower my electric usage
Install wasn’t too bad, I used a mix of chatgpt and install documentation when I get stuck.
One problem I had was that I was aiming for burning crusade, but and chatgpt told me that Azerothcore supported burning crusade.
So after getting the server up and learning this, I had to find a wotlk client.
The choose of expansion was arbitrary, I just didn’t want modern wow.
There are some data files you have to supply, but they can just be downloaded from github and the guide even links to it.
I’m not sure about resources, but for a small instance, I think it’s pretty light. I’ve only just installed it on a i5-3470 cpu server, and it seems to play fine.
I’ve only played for like 5 minutes as I’ve not had time to play and monitor how heavy it is.
Thanks, I’ve always solo played and didn’t get too deep into the game, so when I play with others I feel like I’m holding them back or need everything explained.
Plus self hosting it lets be play on my up coming 14 hour flight.
I’ve been lucky with this particular flight before having the entire row, but it’s been years and I’m doing a different airline this time, so hopefully it plays out the same way.
One of the problems with removing people from the equation is that there is no way to escalate an issue. I’m guessing it’s by design.
An example of this is the food delivery app in the country where I live. One time a delivery person said the restaurant was closed. The app said it was open but it was a holiday. Neither of us could cancel the order or contact a person to allow the cancelation.
Another instance, a delivery rider had a problem with their bike and asked me to cancel the order, when I told her I could not, she told me to call the restaurant to cancel it.
I don’t think she really had a problem with her bike, but I couldn’t chat with anyone who worked at the app to resolve the issue. She eventually delivered it. I think she just didn’t want to wait for the food to be ready since it wasn’t fast food. I ended up ordering from a different place, and ended up with 2 dinners.
I don’t know if I played it much if at all.
It’s been so long and I know for sure that I did not play cataclysm.
I also never got too high of a level in the game either and mostly solo quested. It’s just fun to go around mindlessly.
