What environment does Windows need to install to compile a World of Warcraft open source server?
Hello everyone, I am Aixi. Around October last year, wy and bx announced the suspension of the service. At that time, many friends were worried about what to do if the server was stopped. The game of Warcraft has spent too much time with us. But what has happened, we can only let nature take its course and wait for news from GF. So many friends think that if we compile a World of Warcraft server by ourselves, can we play with our friends normally? Today Aixi is here to teach friends who can’t compile the World of Warcraft server by themselves how to build their own World of Warcraft.
Our own computer can use win10 64-bit system
