I will provide a sample for you when I have time and it will be finally finished. But it will have 1-2 parts of our protection because otherwise it will loose its originality. There's no extremely hard things. Everything is just logical. Everyone can do it and I'm sure there're a lot of other ways of better protection.

You cannot open my MPQs cuz their listfile is removed and the structure is different. all the file names look like sd42tsg234.smth. And even extensions are changed. We have .sdf (Skarn Database File)  files instead of .dbc. However, the name will be changed before the release. The exe is encrypted, so you can't open it in hex editor and search for file names. So, if it's still possible it's going to be really hard to decrypt and extract our work.

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!

But seriously, that does sound good. Just remember that WoW is not our game, and emulation servers are built by people who have shown prowess in deconstruction and decryption of software. Although overall, it's not a big deal to some, it may be to you or others about it's level of protection. Just be weary of overestimating the protection or underestimating the community is all I'm just trying to say :p

Also, removal of listfile can mean squat for some MPQ unpackers.

Skarn:
That's not a thread about our protection system, but I am still quite satisfied with it. It's really hard to restore all the files, so the extracted rest of them will be just useless. I'm not also afraid of somebody extracting my work and relelasing it because their server with content stolen from us will be nothing comparing to our one. They will have no serverside, no proper bug fixes and stuff.

Luzifix:
Emm the project name is a littel strange " The Home of Quality WoW Modding" hehe

Skarn:
It's not the project name probably ;)
