blame blizzard, if anything 3.3.5a is one of the most customizable versions of WoW unless you like TBC because cata and beyond fucked over the clients so hard it's a herculean task to make custom content in it.I tried hosting my own Lich King server once to see how I could make custom content to fuck around with the world and have a fun surprise for friends, but god DAMN is that shit a mess. It's a miracle people manage to make stuff like full on custom dungeons or custom spells with the tools they have because even small stuff like NPCs, quests or items is ass and requires like 4 different software.
you don't need your isp's fagginess to handle localhost portforwarding or even p2p clients for friends like hamachi.Check if your ISP let's you open ports, you'll also likely want to learn how to navigate and run programs on Linux, I'm not going to do a tutorial on this, but if you want a small, simple and useful serer to have, run yourself a mednafen-server.
just keep in mind the requirements for the emulator but going with java 27 and C++/.NET AIO packages can never go wrong, also SQL Studio and XAMPP.
also avoid downloading chinese server/client files, they always have a trojan in it for some reason, like actual trojan with some random copied client file but with a .dll that is not part of the official client files or even a false positive, i guess you would need to think like a souless bug to understand that so i can't help you with why they do that, russian files are 50/50.
