I did use various repacks in the past..
Last one i was using was Reaper's Arcane-Fire UR1 repack, did use it with the fix thats included but i still had lot of db errors when launching mangosd and lots of problems ingame that i haven't had when my server still was 2.4.2
I did go to udb site and did see latest udb and wanted to have that.. so searched for a repack with it on google and found this Amber repack that way.
And man i love it! So far its the best repack i used, the installer doing everything for you... i never seen anything like that.
And finally i got a 2.4.3 MaNGOS server with latest DB where everything really works like it supposed too.
However i and players on my LAN server had a lot of lag...
I tried to find the problem causing it because it was unplayable, connecting to server was very slow, loading characters took almost a minute and everything ingame was frozen regulary for a couple seconds.
I found out it was AmberGUI causing it... i have the lag when i have AmberGUI running for a while.
However if i start website/mysql/realmd/mangos directly without the gui i dont have this lag.
Im still very happy because this is the best repack i seen so far..., but i wonder if more players have this problem?
I don't really need the AmberGUI because server never crashing anyway... but i like it, its a usefull tool i would be able to use.

I was having the same issue. To tell if it's the same issue I had look at the "mangosd" log window of the AmberGUI. After starting the server and logging in do you get a lot of "logging" entries here? If so check Loglevel in the mangosd.conf file. If it's set to 3 that is probably your issue as well. I set mine back to 0 (minimum logging) and no more lag.Trust me it was really bad prior to the change, and way worse when you where in a party (probably because it was writing so much to the log file). Good Luck.
I have the same problem as DualFever..i get disconnect if i use hearthstone or gm teleport to stormwind:| how can i resolve this?
Thank for the quick reply and fix LilBuckaroo :)

Tanks , i'm noob in wow . I install server to test game :) And is great .
This repack is great for a newb such as myself. But I am having a couple minor problems and I was hoping someone could point me to a solution. Keep in mind that I haven't played warcraft on the public servers, so a couple of these 'issues' may have nothing at all to do with mangos or amber.
1. Vmaps. My limited understanding is that the game uses vmaps to decide where characters can or can't walk. They were extracted fine, and the game loads up fine, and my character seems to interact with the enviroment fine. However, npc and monsters cometimes get stuck in a 'loop fall,' especially when they are a different hieght than myself. Also, sometimes enemies/npcs walk through floors, or obstacles. Most often with features on top of terrain, such as houses. I have both mangosd vmap options enabled as well as collision.
2. Quests. Some quest events that are handled by the server do not initiate. Any quest which is kill, collect or go to is fine, but quest that require interaction between npc, or complex scripting events don't take place. Such as defend, or spy quests. Also I had a quest using the item 'fishing net' crash the server entirely. Am not far into the game, but I am sure there are more. If no one else is having this problem I must have something configured wrong.
3. This may be WOW default. Many npc's that I think should offer services, such as 'apprentice blacksmith' do not. When I right click a text box opens up, but is empty. Shops work fine, except that shopkeepers, and quest givers, continue to walk around while in conversation, sometimes far enough away to close the dialogue box.
4. This may also be WOW default. Pets. My pets do not attack automaticly. If I tell them to attack they will, until the monster attacks me, then I need to re-issue the attack command. Also, pets do not use any skills or abilities unless I tell them to, and I think that the imps should use their fireball attack auto, though I could well be wrong.
5. Npc's interacting. Guards in the wilds don't attack mobs, under any circumstance. Npcs steem locked into their states. During the matis quest an NPC I summoned via flare stimple stood where he was. I am not sure if WOW is set like this on purpose, but npcs, characters and mobs have no collicion. That is they can walk through each other. A minor pain when monsters walk through you and you have to rurn to attack.
I bought this game because of mangos, and amber. I dislike multi player only games, but love huge immersive RPG's, when I found there was a way to play this game by myself I went and got it. The makers of this program have allowed be to enjoy a world I would not have otherwise, and if I can resolve those five issues, then I will be set for gaming bliss.
Thank you.

Duthos - Welcome to the Mangos world.
Sorry but most if not all the issues you are having are part of the basic Mangos core.
The only way they will be fixed is when programmers have the time to change it.
In the mean time try Project Silvermoon fun Mangos server
http://www.project-silvermoon.net/
Project Silvermmon server is similar as it uses then same Mangos core but some quests
are working better. The NPC & mobs are in the wrong place ( on purpose) to make it more fun.
If they would work together we would have a fantastic server but that is not very likely.
Enjoy as both teams are working hard to fix the issues.
That is unfortunate that the problems are part of mangos. I had thought I just did something wrong. Well, if that's the case then, as you said, they should be fixed with time.
I went to that site, and registered, but I couldn't figure out what to download to or how to 'plug it in' to mangos.
Well, thanks.
