I maintain Project "Sol" (and its mirror), an open source MMORPG server for Linux based on AzerothCore. A few things about "Sol" and my priorities/decisions:

• Supported client version is 3.3.5a, because in my opinion the game was great up to and including WotLK (and the old world was still intact at the time)
• Linux only, as it is FOSS and I try to avoid proprietary software
• MariaDB only, because I see it as the real successor to MySQL after the acquisition through Oracle
• Prioritization on fixing playability and world maps (quests, creatures etc.)
• Cannot test dungeons thoroughly as I'm working alone
• Don't care about seasonal events, for me they never did fit into the WoW universe
• Don't care about PvP
• Won't run a public server

About my hobby, working on WoW emulation:

• Always wanted to work on video games, but not for money
• Played retail WoW in 2005 and again from 2007 to 2011, quit because Cata was boring and awful, never did return
• Played around with repacks in 2017
• Contributed over 200 commits to AC between 2018 and 2020
• Started working solely on my own server software in March 2020, free and without restrictions from other projects
• Deleted my old accounts and created new ones with the same name in order to cut all ties to the old projects/repositories and start all over again
• Still enjoy working on it, despite lacking the time to accomplish everything I want

Old accounts:

• [email protected] (used for AC commits)
• [email protected] (used for Sol commits from 2020-03-01 to 2023-06-24)
