## What it is
TrinityCore is an open-source C++ MMORPG server framework derived from MaNGOS, implementing game server logic for World of Warcraft client versions. It is a community-driven, GPL-2.0 licensed project actively maintained since 2008 with multiple supported game version branches.

## Use cases
- run a private world of warcraft server
- study mmorpg server architecture
- host a multiplayer game server for wow clients
- learn large-scale c++ game server development
- contribute to an open source mmorpg framework
- set up a wotlk 3.3.5 private server

## When to choose
- you want a mature, actively maintained open-source MMO server framework
- you need support for multiple WoW client versions including 3.3.5 and Cataclysm Classic
- you want to study or modify a large real-world C++ game server codebase

## When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose game engine for building new games
- you want a turnkey hosted game service with no server administration
- you need commercial licensing - it is GPL-2.0 only
