MaNGOS is an open-source MMORPG server emulation project, originally announced in 2005, that implements game server software for older versions of World of Warcraft. This master repository serves as the information hub for the project, with the actual server cores (Mangos Zero through Four) maintained in separate repositories written in C++.
Use cases
- host a private vanilla World of Warcraft server
- run an emulator for WoW Burning Crusade or Wrath of the Lich King
- learn C++ game server development on a large open-source codebase
- contribute to an open-source MMORPG server project as a junior developer
- self-host a game server for older WoW expansions
- study how MMORPG server architecture and networking work
When to choose
- you want to run or develop a server for Vanilla, TBC, WOTLK, Cataclysm, or Mists of Pandaria WoW
- you value a beginner-friendly, mentored open-source community
- you want the original, longest-running WoW server emulation project
When to avoid
- you need a server for modern/current WoW expansions
- you want a turnkey product with official support rather than a community project
- you are uncomfortable with the legal gray area of game server emulation
- you prefer a more actively developed fork such as TrinityCore or CMaNGOS
