So all the hype about ArcEmu...?

[Noaru]

So again this isn't really contrasting ArcEmu/Mangos, but I'd like to know why some users prefer ArcEmu over Mangos, from what I gather the differences I heard people like ArcEmu over Mangos is because of the lua scripting part of the server, as opposed to Mangos' C++ coding and patches... But I believe Mangos has several projects which also could aid with Custom Servers, so... Why ArcEmu > Mangos?

I'll explain pretty simple. Noobs don't like hard 'tutorials'. They want 1,2,3 step guides. ArmEmu was designed like that. Also, because of it's simplistic design it lacks programing logic -> it works like crap & full of bugs.

MaNGOS on the other hand was designed by a smart group of people to work in a smart way, meaning it has logic in its code, therefore it works brilliant.

Because of that MaNGOS is alot harder to use rather than ArmEmu.
BECAUSE of the above sentence, noobs are prohibited by LAW to get closer than 1 mile away from MaNGOS. Their brains would malfunction.

That's true actually. You speak true man.

Well then, thank god Mangos seems to be my preference than ArcEmu. My last team always said ArcEmu was so much better, but it always had so much errors as opposed to the more stable and clean cut Mangos xD

There is only one error in arcemu and that is geting it for your server :)

also alot of people prefer arc because of the fun server aspect for it

mangos is more blizzlike which puts retards off lol

Right I thought that to, but you figure that with more DB editing and some nifty C++ patches you can get Mangos to do funserver stuff as well, along with good stability, right?

(TBH the fun server stuff just needs more DB editing than anything instead of core modification, excluding scripted instances/bosses I believe)

Fun servers can be made on both however for both emus it is not recomented. The why is simple becose people are gone miss an whole lot of inportand quests. You can compensate this by making trainers that train evrything but that is an lot of work.

People think that an great custom mall is all you need and put xp up to 100-500 or so well thats not fun at all :P

So judging by the first part of that logic, (which I like, lol) ArcEmu just fails then at its main purpose. TBH a fun server you can do by making a lot of customs, w/ an optional mall, and redesigning unused areas a bit, and scripting your own quests, and NPCs. (Which use mostly DB modification).
