The ultimate "lazy" way to host your own private WotLK World of Warcraft server with PlayerBots.
DrePack is a fully portable AzerothCore environment, with a bunch of mods, featuring a minimal built-in management menu, and a simple account-registration page.
A "repack" is basically a ready-to-use package of the server software, in this case AzerothCore. Think of it like a starter kit that saves you from having to compile all the server files yourself from the source code. Basically, it allows you to download the files, unzip everything, run one or two files, and that's all you need to start playing.
_START_SERVER.bat inside the DrePack folder.SET realmlist 127.0.0.1Skeptical about running a .bat file? No problem, I get that! Go ahead and open it with Notepad to check it out for yourself. Or paste the code into ChatGPT and have it explain to you what it does exactly. It will tell you that all it does is automate the tedious stuff, like:
DrePack comes preloaded with numerous modules. Playerbots, AHBot and Transmog have been enabled, but nearly all other mods are disabled, to save resources, but also because several mods will change the server drastically, so you should first decide if you want that or not. Enabling the modules is easily done.

Complete list of all the modules that are included in the repack.
DrePack was compiled on Monday the 22nd of March 2026. ⚔️
After many, many requests, or at least, that one person, I have packaged an all-in-one repack for AzerothCore on Windows. It includes a couple of really cool mods, like PlayerBots, AHBot, Transmog, OllamaChat, GuildHouse, and many more. Because why? Because I aim to please.
I compiled the server on Tuesday the 22nd of March 2026. It took me quite some time to package everything together in a way that it would become fully portable. It wasn't as easy as I thought beforehand. Especially because I wanted to include a simple webpage that allows people to register an account for the server. I borrowed a thing or two from XAMPP, and I downloaded a random repack to learn from how they packaged everything. Being the perfectionist that I can be sometimes, I believe I did a much better job.
Since everybody who wants to use this repack will choose a different folder location, my priority was to make sure that everything would work fine, wherever the files are stored. Wanting to include Apache and PHP didn't make things easy for myself, since they use some config files that contain absolute paths. Simply changing these to relative paths didn't work out the way I had hoped. So, I decided to create a .bat file, that will copy all the required config files from a template file, and at the same time it will change each line where an absolute path is used, so it will work from the folder where you will run it from.
In order to keep the file size of the repack as small as possible, I've chosen not to include the game-data files. Since those are hosted on GitHub, the bat file will download it from there and unzip it when you run it for the first time. This trimmed down the size of the repack with another 1.1GB. Resulting in a zip file that has an acceptable file size of 570MB in total.
I've tested the repack myself, twice, and everything was working as intended. It should, in theory, work for anybody on Windows, but, I can imagine that a some people will experience errors, or issues, due to things that I didn't think of. If this is the case for you, let me know in the comments. I wrote detailed instructions in the README.md. As long as you don't already have MySQL running, or anything that runs on port 80, you should be good. In theory… Feedback is always welcome. So, I guess I'm looking for a couple of people who are willing to test it out! Are you up for that?
