A documented, community-maintained World of Warcraft: Midnight private server built on TrinityCore master, on the retail 12.0.7 line — plus a set of original server-side fixes that make the newest content actually playable.
On build numbers: everything here is written against build 12.0.7.68974, which was the live retail build on 2026-07-05. Retail moves every few weeks and nothing can install an older build, so a client downloaded today will be newer. Point the server at whatever build you can actually get — see CLIENT.md.

⚠️ Read first: this repo contains documentation + our original fixes only. It does not include the game client, game data, or a world database — those are Blizzard's property and cannot be redistributed. You build those yourself from your own retail client. See DISCLAIMER.md.
Most public WoW private servers run old expansions (Wrath 3.3.5a, Cata, MoP…). This one targets current retail — patch 12.0.7 "Midnight" and is kept honest and playable:
| This project | Typical private server | |
|---|---|---|
| Client build | 12.0.7 (Midnight) — the current retail line | 3.3.5a / 4.3.4 / 5.4.8 |
| Races | All 26 incl. allied races unlocked, Dracthyr Evoker intro working | Classic races only |
| Content span | Vanilla → Midnight in one DB, 517 maps populated | Single-expansion |
| Companion bots | Creature bots (.bot) + fake-player bots (.pbot) |
Usually none / 3rd-party only |
| Data policy | Maximized to the public-data ceiling, gaps documented honestly | Often silently broken |
| Fixes | Curated, reversible, ID-band-safe community fixes (this repo) | Ad-hoc |
- Newest content, actually reachable — allied-race and class intros, modern zones (Khaz Algar, Isle of Dorn, Harandar) resurrect-able and quest-able.
- A third of the world's patrols were frozen — now they aren't. On a stock database 3,924 of 10,993 waypoint spawns never move: the spawn says "patrol" but no route exists, so the movement generator never initialises. Fix 07 repairs every one of them.
- Eight maps that spawned nothing now spawn again — including Darkmaul Citadel, the Exile's Reach dungeon, which had never spawned a single NPC. 1,218 creatures and 1,073 gameobjects recovered.
- Curated fix pack — 13 files: quest-chain repairs, quest-blocking GameObject spawns, legacy-raid lockout/journal bindings, newest-zone graveyards, holidays re-anchored to the real calendar, stray raid bosses removed from starter zones, duplicate spawns removed, and the NPC repairs above. All additive, all reversible, all on empty ID bands. Each one verified by breaking a real database, fixing it, re-running the fix, and then reverting to confirm the original numbers come back exactly.
- Honest engineering — where the engine hits a true ceiling (boss combat AI, brand-new phased-scene scripting), it's documented, not faked.

| 🐳 Docker Compose | Everything in containers, fixes auto-applied | docker branch |
Both lead to the same server. Either way you supply your own client-extracted data and world DB (Blizzard's property — see DISCLAIMER).
- Get the client — you download it from Blizzard yourself, free. Note that you always get whatever build is live right now; nothing can install an older one, so check before downloading 100 GB. → docs/en/CLIENT.md
- Build the core — TrinityCore master. → docs/en/SETUP.md
- Extract game data from your own retail client (maps/vmaps/mmaps/dbc).
- Import the world DB and run
worldserver+bnetserver. - Apply the community fixes in
sql/. → sql/README.md - Connect your client. → docs/en/CONNECT.md

account create produces something you cannot log in with. See

Where do I get the client? From Blizzard, free, yourself — see CLIENT.md. Please don't ask for or share a client download; it's copyright infringement, third-party builds are unverifiable binaries, and the official download takes one command.
