Ok, I recently checked out a server that I haven't played on in a few months.
A lot has changed since I last visited, and they now run an emu called 'Antrix'
I've never heard of this emulator, but they changed from MaNGOS to this Antrix emu, so Antrix must be pretty awesome (or so the server owner thinks :\)
Anyone wanna fill me in on what Antrix is?
source: emupediaWhat is Antrix?
Antrix is a server package for World of Warcraft. It does NOT contain any data from Blizzard's software, or any of their official servers content.
What is it written in?
Antrix is written completely in C++.
How does it perform?
The server has been tested with over 1000 clients without any flaws or missing a beat.
What is the database backend?
Antrix uses a MySQL or PostgreSQL backend. Support for Oracle is possible through polymorphism.
How is the server extendable?
The server is extendable through external binary scripts for extra AI, and world scripting.
Who makes this kickass product?
You don't need to know. We perfer to stay anonymous. Do not post questions regarding the authors of this software.
Great, so how can I get a hold of this?

What advantages does this have over other servers?
* Server core fully accessable via high-performance scripts.
* Low memory usage.
* 100% multithreaded with asyncronous database access, so no time is spent blocking, and makes full use of today's multi-core technology.
* Easily developable database via ingame commands.
* GM system based on flags, rather than command levels.
* High-performance network code on all platforms (FreeBSD, Linux, and Windows).
* Most game features working!
* Tried and tested code.
* Easy, non-confusing database structure.
* Want to know more? Try it for yourself.
The team does NOT support databases. We provide an empty database for you to work from, and that is all.

So like, is this emulator any better than MaNGOS?
Yes, and lolwut isn't required here.
It has epic stability thats for sure.
Well it seems to be bether al tru i haven have time to test it yet further more there is not an good DB for it yet only converted silvermoon DB im now in the progress of compilling and seting things up to see i it is indd bether than mangos things must be said the release of the sorce was yesterday and they have trown 12 new reversions to us since then .
But i will test it for shure and if it indd is bether than mangos it might be that i will switch emu for my prage releases ... But for now i will stick to mangos till evrything is sorted out and there will be an good and stable db for it .
All tru for what i have seen so far on the server running it it looks quite impresive .
Come play RaGECRAFT if you wanna see whats it like on a full proper DB :)

i luv this emu im using it right now. its sooo nice on pvp. i crashed once and that was because i lvled above max lvl lol. mangos is history look under server ads to see it. one tip tho the gm commands r a bitch to use. silvermoon db is releasing a true db for this emu. for those who want to see it my msn is evil0z@hotmail.com no sex pls i have enough ppl for that XD also i need someeon to help me find a way to get mangoscirpt on this thing the emu has 0 ai that i know of.
men i dont have installed Visual C++ .. and just waiting for someone to post that here.. XD XD
Would be nice if someone could post a comparison on mangos vs antrix, like a list of what's working/not working so ppl can judge before switching.
Antrix is the most stable wow emulator core to date.
And in cases such as this, it's mainly all database work.
But a milestone has been reached here, and I myself have been rigging one up, but running into a few ip issues which i'll get around to fixing.
Think Antrix like the epsxe of emulation, it's going to change wow emulation big time;)
Can someone youst give me a link on PM or something where i can download this pack???
Or upload it to a download site?
I tried to search bur didnt find eny download's
LOl evil its just came out and i was told from espire its gonan transfrom in the next week and also itll be on wow 2.1 in 2 or 3 days from now. i found a bugs but something ive never seen before is..... u cant buy wsg items anymore lol u have to buy the items with REAL honor points. im gonan wait until the fix the 3 major bugs then resume hosting on it. this emu is huge. for example on mangos whenu see otehr players, they skipped around making it hard for warriors and rogues to pvp. in antrix its perfectly smooth. npcs dont skip around. all this baby needs is a way to import mangossciprt into it and this emu will be godly.
Antrix sound's pretty cool then. I'll have to give it a go sometime :D
2.0.12 antrix core with mmorpg4free DB
100 players online.... Current Uptime 23 hours 31 minutes... average ping 238ms.
Server very stable indeed.
It also has a very good pulling system with mobs... which mangos doesnt have. Also as resinate said mobs/players dont skip around making pvp/raiding alot easier on the eye and alot more "blizz" like
Best bit though as said is stability/latency.
