See I disagree with this. Almost everything is known about 3.3.5a and we have an emulator better than we could ever ask for. So you can do almost anything with this patch. It's the best patch to customise.

Higher patches means more game functionality and better graphics but the emulators are a long way off and the game is a lot more complicated and thus harder to do stuff with.

People seem to not realise that right now is the best the emulation/ME scene has ever been. The content is off a higher quality than it ever has been before.

Sure, back in TBC we had far more people active within the scene. But the quality of content was shockingly bad. Servers were unstable as hell. Etc.

The fact is the barriers to entry these days are very hard - you can't just jump in and do stuff like a normal game engine. You have to learn WoW, all these systems and how everything is put together, and somehow be able to modfiy that. It takes a lot of commitment to produce content these days, and this is why we don't have tons of people.

WoW is a hobbie - not many actual programmers/modelers/etc are actually attracted to this market. It is very niche. Most of us are amateurs trying to have fun. It makes it hard.

Furthermore, you can't change the fact WoW is a dying game, and as retail becomes less popular so will the interest in private servers. There will always be a niche for private servers, but that will be small compared to previous populations.

Rangorn:
Wotlk is easier, more stable, and a good environnement for modding, i totally agree with you, but wrath of the lich King was the official version from 2008 to 2010.

In my mind, modders have to follow the players, not the reverse.

Exactly, I see all this cool amazing content that never gets used because everyone is off playing higher expansion servers.

But anyway, I do think we should get a better website. Who even owns superparanoid.de?

Again, I disagree. Make a good server and the players will come. All these projects are shit quality or never finished.
