The previous posts I did on building your own WoW server are very popular on this website, according to the visitor's statistics. But they're not for everybody, since not everybody has a Linux machine, or the willingness to work with Linux. That's why this post is especially for all the Windows users out there. We're going to be building our own, private, World of Warcraft server with PlayerBots, using AzerothCore, ON WINDOWS!

This tutorial guides you through setting up a private World of Warcraft server for the Wrath of the Lich King expansion, using TrinityCore on Ubuntu 22.04 with NPC bots. It provides step-by-step instructions, starting from server prerequisites to editing config files and dealing with the databases. The author shares a personal connection with WoW, experiences with the game, and the motivation behind creating the server, highlighting the importance of the game's social aspect and how innovation from the community has made such setups possible. The tutorial includes detailed technical steps and additional tools like Supervisor to manage the server processes.
