Thanks! It seems too risky for something like a hard drive.

Arch is really for those who like to troubleshoot and actively maintain things when they break.

I’m pretty decent with linux and for the most part, I can fix arch when it breaks, but I don’t have the time for that. For that reason, I use Fedora and recommend mint.

Refurbished drives sound scary. Any data to point towards that not being a problem?

You can also just play as a GM.

I’m not exactly sure what powers you have as a gm, but I think it’s pretty extensive.

I’m still fine tuning the server and haven’t played much.

I don’t think you need to mod the database for that. There is just a mod I think that will relevels everything to be at the right level for your character.

Yeah! And it’s super easy, just find the line that corresponds to drop rate or exp from mob/ questions and change it from 1 to 10 and get 10x.

I have exp and gold set to x2

I don’t know if I played it much if at all.

It’s been so long and I know for sure that I did not play cataclysm.

I also never got too high of a level in the game either and mostly solo quested. It’s just fun to go around mindlessly.

Other places have said that it’s not resource intensive, and I’ve heard that it can run on pi4 with some optimization.

I wonder if I need to do something to optimize it.

Thanks, I saw there is a mod to add bots to the game. I wonder if that is good enough.

A trump supporter I know, always brings up politics, which I avoid when talking to them.

The past month or so, they have not brought it up at all. So, I think I’m starting to see it.

Haha, well when searching for games that can be self hosted, it’s gives a list which I can then further research on the web.

I just checked the server without logging into the game and it’s using like 106% of the CPU on idle when I logged in and played a little bit. It didn’t change too much but it’s consistently running that high at idle because I guess things in the game world are running so I’m probably going to stop the service and start it when I’m gonna play to just lower my electric usage

I think my preference for halo 1 is pure nostalgia. I have so many memories of my best friend at the time and I going co-op legendary. Or using “gamespy?” To play online matches.

Install wasn’t too bad, I used a mix of chatgpt and install documentation when I get stuck.

One problem I had was that I was aiming for burning crusade, but and chatgpt told me that Azerothcore supported burning crusade.

So after getting the server up and learning this, I had to find a wotlk client.

The choose of expansion was arbitrary, I just didn’t want modern wow.

There are some data files you have to supply, but they can just be downloaded from github and the guide even links to it.

I’m not sure about resources, but for a small instance, I think it’s pretty light. I’ve only just installed it on a i5-3470 cpu server, and it seems to play fine.

I’ve only played for like 5 minutes as I’ve not had time to play and monitor how heavy it is.

That’s awesome! I was wondering how I would do raids.

I think mangos is for classic and the burning crusade.

Azerithcore is for wotlk

I think reverse engineered.

I need to look into mods. I didn’t even know that was a thing.

I have no idea what a gm can do, I made a gm account though.

I wonder if there are moss that will let me do raids solo.

Thanks, I’ve always solo played and didn’t get too deep into the game, so when I play with others I feel like I’m holding them back or need everything explained.

Plus self hosting it lets be play on my up coming 14 hour flight.

I don’t remember halo 3 too well, but I remember getting a 360 for it and I remember playing it on my 30” 1080i crt.

I was in university at the time, so I was more focused on other things at that time. Halo 1 was it for me.
