There are many projects for people to hack World of Warcraft servers, and I’ll go over a few of them in this article. I’ll talk about the Felmyst server, the Nostalrius server, and the Valkyrie-WoW server. These projects aren’t for everyone, but they can be a lot of fun, and they can help players to level up much faster than they can do it now.

Felmyst server
Gummy, the developer behind the popular Felmyst server, has been working to make the private server as accurate as possible. The new server uses the 2.1 patch, which includes significant changes to the game’s balance. One of these changes was the ability to limit post-Black Temple content to players attuned to the new expansion. This server is also set to run in a more authentic, historical environment.
Gummy has a track record of running private servers. He’s also known for launching Scriptcraft, which is a thriving private World of Warcraft server. Although that server was never shut down by Blizzard, it never got the kind of attention Felmyst did. Gummy gambled on the fact that people would be interested in playing Felmyst, and didn’t warn players about the server’s population limit. Fortunately, he was right.
Nostalrius server
The Nostalrius project has officially announced that it will transfer its code base to Elysium, a new private server project. The project has suspended development on its own iterations of the game and has promised to implement Nostalrius’ source code, which will include the ability to migrate characters between the Nostalrius server and Elysium. It has also promised to protect the privacy of players by implementing a secure transfer process for their character data.
While the Nostalrius team initially won good will with its launch, controversy arose when they announced their plans to merge the Nostalrius code base with another project. Blizzard has already made an announcement about Legion, but for now, the Nostalrius project is dormant. However, it is likely to relaunch in some form and be available to players in a few months.
Elysium server
After several months of trouble, the Elysium server has been reinstated in Project 70 World of Warcraft. The developers behind the Elysium server, known as the “Light’s Hope Project”, have pledged to bring back an authentic vanilla experience to the World of Warcraft game. In addition, the admins of the Light’s Hope Project have vowed to protect the intellectual property of the original team, Crogge and Shenna. However, this is not enough to prevent players from continuing their Elysium adventures on the Light’s Hope server.
The Elysium team agreed to continue the legacy servers after a dispute over money. The dispute stemmed from accusations that one of the members was embezzling EUR2,000 from PayPal accounts and running a gold-selling business. Blizzard has since apologized and the team has re-launched under a new name, “Light’s Hope.”
Valkyrie-WoW source code
The recent release of the Valkyrie-WoW source code has generated a lot of excitement among fans of the warcraft character. The new release is a lot different than its predecessor, but it retains several common characteristics. In particular, the Valkyrie is the same size and speed as its predecessor. As such, it has many similarities with the HMAS Vampire. Both of them are typically found on the flanks of the main force and will be competing in cap circles. Both are gunboats and their main purpose is to out-trade other destroyers.
The team behind the vanilla WoW server has made its source code available to anyone who is interested in creating their own legacy servers. The vanilla WoW server, located in Russia, has been around since 2008. The Nostalrius team decided to reopen the servers on December 17 with the same player database. Valkyrie-WoW is now free for everyone to use. The team’s efforts have paid off, and the Valkyrie-WoW source code is available to all.
