    Why I like Kobold:


    and wowemu (but it uses a bit too much cpu):


    And Mango's a bit less:

    Kobold has a cap on 50 players, has less bugs, but closed source... Anything else to say? :p

    mangos = open source can hold over more then 200 ppl and has many fixes (tho not as much as kobold but kobold has 50 cap and missing DB)

    kobold is more functional but is closed source and has low capacity for private server. not much fixing you can do for it coz it is closed source.similar installation requirements as mangos but a little harder

    mangos is less functional than kobold but has high player capacity who knows how much depending on your computer resources. with a dual core 2ghz/4gb ram/100mb connection you could hold 200 or much more (maybe)easy.
    project is open source so there's dozens of fixes for it everyday and if you know programming you can do fixes directly form the source code. also the mangos database handler is an extraordinary tool allowing great user friendliness and a wide field of options
    consume a lil more resources though
    most internet resources for it on the internet from the 3

    wowemu is a dead project. it's easiest to fix coz it has .scp and .tcl files which you can edit easily by notepad and special program.
    it is also unstable at times and takes too much resources for it's functionality. you can keep innumerable players on it though if you got the hardware
    however there will be no more releases for it unless some team decides to take it back up and it is closed source like that plus it requires hack for client and only supports 1.11.2 while the others support latest patches and with some releases even the burning crusade

    other emu's are jokes

    so overall i guess it is clear that mangos is the choice to take unless kobold decide to go a little open

    Note, you can run kobold with multiple realms on 1 IP so, max cap would be bound to number of realms...(50,100,150 etc) But then again, never more then 50 per realm

    you can change the playercap on 50 players to 500/5000 its easy if you use the real server like windows 2000 advange / windows 2003 server with xql 2000 or 2005. I am a admin and I am working with servers every day. I have a question.I have install kobold and its working almost perfectly I use Kennyrepack 3.2. how can I skin and alchemist.

    I think kobold has a great future. if they split the process in more than 1 process.

    sorry for my bad english, but I am not so good at whriting english, I am from Denmark. but thanks for all them there have maked it possible to make a private wow server. because blizard cross the line, blizard should not demand montly payment for playing on theirs servers.

    i trust mangos until kobold can prove somethin more.
    coz i know about them since before their first release but the pace in a whole year has not changed and that's a bad sign with these emus.
    but they did goo work so far

    anyway atm mangos is the only real option for a good private server

    sorry but when it comes to private servers good and 50 man population don't mix

    and besides with mangos you got a sure thing with kobold you never know what will happen. it's limited resources vs. unlimited resources

    the one with the most resources will eventually win and you'll wanna be on that side. you should have learned that from starcraft :P

    hmm actualy no... u might have an ICT education but many ppl that know C++ found out that the cap is intergratet in the CORE yes ofc u can change it in the config file but that doesnt work... anyway.. the thing u can try is to make a gm lvl without commands... because gms can login when the server is full so that way the cap woudnt work.. tho it has been tried and nothing so far so... I wish u the best in figuring a out a way to get the cap removed ;)
