Second Realm

[redcore]

Hello,

I want to run second realm. I have to run second worldd process but what DB shoul I run. I thought I need only characters db newly created. Is it true? Does it work if I run second process connecting to the same mangos and realmd db? Is there any perfomance caveats?

If you are not going to tweak the second realm so the becomes some sort of fun mangos or arena mangos or anything like that then you only need to have another characters database for the new realm... all the others can be shared

If youre going to have a 'blizzlike' and a 'fun' server, or any variation between the servers at all, youll want a duplicated mangos, characters, scriptdev2 databases.

Also, be sure to use a seperate config file, set up with these databases and a different port. I use this batch file to run my second test realm'

c:\\mangos\\mangosd.exe -c server2.conf

Dont forget to add the second realm to your realmd database, and forward the ports in the router if any of your testers are outside your LAN

If you want them the same, (IE, any creature you spawn on server 1 appears on server 2, as well as any other changes), youll only need a seperate characters database AFAIK
