You're jumping to conclusions here. I never said that, but just mentioned that other tasks have priority for us. As you can see on github, there is work done on 4.x all the time. Slow but it is done.

For me what matters is that MaNGOS is here since 2005, and the project is constantly growing with a mature, friendly, and reliable community. Add our branches for WoW 1.12, 2.4.3, and 3.3.5a plus our development branch with stuff to try out 4.x (yes, we have a client patcher on github). All of these are delivered to you with love and dedication. I do not care for Trinity, Cactus, Skyfire, whatever. Those projects are all different, and have different goals, and very, very weird communities in some cases, too. MaNGOS is here to give you the opportunity to grow your skills and knowledge. Trinity and others are not here for this reason. WCell may be the only exception where it's all about the experience and not just gaming for free. The people doing development are all here on the MaNGOS forums. The team is the same for the last few years with a few additions, and no losses. What people do not see and probably do not understand is a different thing: yes, there are forks and different projects, but these are connected these days. There are Trinity developers active on the MaNGOS forums and vice versa. In general, if your goals lay somewhere around gaining knowledge, you're at the right place here, else it is not MaNGOS you want.

In common there should be a message upon logging in what happened. Just get in touch with the support slave with details on the account in question, and stuff like IP banned and mail adress used. We usually do not ban IPs so I'm a little surprised to see an IP ban here.

There is more to it than just the issue of client modification, to be honest. As you can see on github, we do have BreakTrue, which allows for patching the game client to connect with custom realms. This and our 400 branch of mangos would allow for working on the 4.x client. Sadly, this is sort of troublesome in itself. As we all know people do (very) frequently demand for MaNGOS and any other server project to work like the real servers. As it stands, MaNGOS (and any other server project) is identical to original servers, close for some features, and far away for others. With Cataclysm and the 4.x version of WoW in general it all boils down to this: do we try to finish our work on MaNGOS Zero, MaNGOS One, and MaNGOS for WotLK first, or abandon those and move to Cataclysm for the sole purpose of being first. 4.x/Cataclysm pretty much means that game features in WoW ever since the 1.x days are gone, and it is quite a lot of them gone. And a lot of fresh game features in there. Personally I favour the route of reaching a state of "complete" for Zero, One, and WotLK first. 4.x is a different thing, and it would probably be worth a MaNGOS rewrite from scratch, instead of upgrading the current sources. Why? Because the past six years of MaNGOS provided a whole world of DOs and DONTs that probably would lead to a totally different type of development model if we had known before.

You definitely can develop a server in C#, Java, and even languages like Erlang, Ruby, or Python are possible. Most state of the art programming languages allow for such an adventure. There was an Erlang server in the early WotLK days, and there was a Java server in the 1.x days. C# is used for various implementations, e.g. WCell, RunWoW, then there was WowwoW back in the days, and there is a long history you might want to check out. It pretty much describes where all the server implementations are inherited from and may shed some light on further reasons for most implementations being C/C++ based. If you would want to go wild, you could even go far and implement the server in Ruby with a Cucumber based test suite

https://github.com/mangos/mangos/tree/400 and null should answer your question.

I would really love to provide a valuable answer to your post, Gibbss. But... I can not do so. I do not understand what your post is supposed to tell us and what your question is related to. Yes, I do speak English, and I so for almost 25 years now, but I do not understand all those abbreviations. As Skirnir suggests, the most active and friendly people on these forums are grown ups which do not communicate in abbreviations or any other youth slang. Not to mention the large amount of people who or not native English speakers. Gibbss, I am sure if you rephrase your original post into English without any abbreviations, and add a little precision and detail to what the exact nature of your request is, you will get a qualified reply on these forums.

You have to register the MySQL service before starting it. You can e.g. try to start MySQL from the Windows command line to see error output.

The code indention is an issue with the toolbar. If you do not use the toolbars code buttons, but paste yourself, it works fine. The links thing is a known issue, needs to be fixed manual.

To my knowledge the max.dk domain just was sold to a different owner. malu had a blog post up prior to moving to a new domain with his machinima tool.

There has been an issue with updating the MediaWiki database. I've added that to my list. Fix will be there this weekend.

There is always Wowhead and MMO-Champion.

There is quite a few options to chose from. IMHO you should start with reading sources for old servers e.g. OpenWoW, LudMilla/Pandora/CrFusion, and of course old MaNGOS versions.

That seems to be a bug in the mail templates. Will be fixed soon as well

You just level'd up

Just test the "Thank You" issue, and it seems there is hidden bug. Will fix that soon.

Hm, got to check that

See our client 4.x branch, or one of the other 4.x servers available on github.

The biggest issue for this still remains that documentation for file formats, and the protocol used is scattered around tons of different sources. If you really want to try, go for it. It is possible, and if you need pointers, you'll find many of them in our sources.

It seems the notification still works. Tried on a few accounts, and a notification appeared right next to the last visit date/time.

It seems their press team is faster than their web team. The product page still has a rather large price tag.

Now this is a very, very nice discovery. Care to put this on the Wiki? BTW: Arch Linux <3

I think we now pretty much have sorted out the bad botsie peoples

<?php /* A simple php script */ $choice = $_GET['foo']; if ( $choice == 1 ) { echo 'You like coffee!'; } elseif ( $choice == 2 ) { echo 'I said, "You like coffee!"'; } echo " \\"Isn't coffee horrible though?\\""; ?> It seems this is an issue of the JS behind the edit button toolbar.
