   WoW server technique
  Hi all,i am new to gamedev and hope that is the right section.I want to research World of Warcraft Sever Technique, but information about their implementation seems to be very rare. Can anybody give me an advice where to find some docs about their server?Greetings,Patrick   
  I doubt you'll be able to find much information on Blizzards servers, but if you're interested in MMO servers in general, you could do worse than having a look at MaNGOS, an opensource MMO server written in cpp, that is compatible with the WoW client.IIRC the code looks pretty good, so you can probably find your answers in there.Good luck!   ;  Moving you to Multiplayer and Network Programming.   ;  The first thing you should do is hook up Wireshark to your network interface, and capture all traffic while you connect, log in, and move through the WoW world. If you look at the TCP sessions established/torn down, you can probably derive a fair bit about what the physical structure is.Then you'll have to get into the protocol stream. You can use open source to avoid having to reverse engineer it yourself. This will teach you about the logical structure.;  There are many unofficial wow server out there.  Most of them with availlable source code.
