Free emulation package for the iconic MMORPG

Arcemu is a free and open-source utility designed to emulate World of Warcraft (WoW), the groundbreaking MMORPG that defined the genre. Stemming from the now-defunct Ascent project, this server package promises to deliver an authentic gameplay environment akin to the original. It supports both Lua and Python scripting engines.

Jump back into Azeroth

Built on a multithreaded C++ framework with MySQL or MariaDB data storage, Arcemu is a server emulator that can take you back to the fantasy world of Azeroth. It provides a platform where you can create your own private WoW servers, faithfully reproducing World of Warcraft version 3.3.5a.

The package allows extensive customization with plugins and even scripting languages if you’re a programming savvy. With Lua or Python engines, you can get under the hood to tailor game mechanics, quests, and interactions. Since setting up a WoW server demands technical know-how, beginners are off to a rough start.

Robust server emulator

While it poses difficulty for players with little programming knowledge, Arcemu remains a reliable solution for recreating the World of Warcraft experience on private servers. With its robust architecture and customization options through plugins and scripting, the application offers a gateway to crafting unique WoW experiences beyond conventional gameplay.
