Self hosted game servers and clients

Post by itsddc94 »

For anyone that is interested, I've been looking into self hosted games for an archival project and figured I'd pass along the info :)

*** This is not an exhaustive list. If you have other server software, please share! I will update my original post and attach your name for the contribution ***

This list contains only software which I believe is still viable (can run, would connect, still up to date, relatively maintained, etc).

This is for servers only. Eventually I will complete my IPFS client archive and this will be made available.

btih are partial magnets. Figure it out ;) Use OpenTrackr.org as your tracker.

*** It is proper etiquette to have bought the games you find below. While each project IS open source, the games themselves are not. If you intend to play OG WC3, for example, buy WC3 Refunded.

To be fair, this was posted before that and I don't, but I do feel there are at least some kind people out there who can treat people with respect and dignity, so I figured this was for them.

Updated the WoW section to include an open source (best I could find, so far) server for each expansion of the game. You can also find many versions of the client from: https://wowdl.net/files/clients#vanilla

As a side note, legacyservers.org is hosted by me. Each link is to a mirror of the original repo, which can be found underneath the title of each repo where it says "mirror of"

WoW clients moved from IPFS to BitTorrent. I've also included a version of 3.3.5a marked as HD, which is from https://forum.warmane.com/showthread.php?t=437071

I have some notes! I have a lot of other pages for hosting different server software mostly on Linux (some Windows and FreeBSD). Here's some game-specific ones:
And recently 2009Scape itself: viewtopic.php?t=1038-singleplayer-serve ... r-on-linux
