🔥 Ember

An experimental modular MMO server emulator.


Ember is an educational server emulation project targeting the WoW 1.12.1 protocol, striving to be a modular and robust architecture.

Project aims:

  • Offer a broad range of activities for contributors to develop their skills in.
  • A focus on code quality and robustness over features.
  • A modular architecture in contrast with the monolithic architectures of similar projects.

Supported platforms:

Ember aims to support the following platforms as a minimum:

Operating System Architectures
Linux x86, x64, ARMv6 (tentative)
Windows x86, x64
Mac OS x86, x64

Compiler support:

This table lists the compilers actively used during development as well as the oldest versions that should support the language features needed to compile the codebase. The minimum versions are not frequently tested, therefore they are not guaranteed to be compatible.

Supported Minimum
MSVC 19.1 (VS2017) 19.1 (VS2017)
Clang 4.0 4.0
GCC 7.0 7.0

Build status:

master development
Linux Build Status Build Status
Windows Build status Soon

Contributors are always welcome. If you seek to get your hands dirty, take a peek at 'docs/Contributing.md' for advice on getting started.

Why WoW 1.12.1?

Our primary goal isn't to produce a feature-complete, up-to-date emulator to use with newer clients. The 1.12.1 protocol was chosen as a fixed target to leverage the extensive research of prior projects, allowing for greater focus on writing code over reverse engineering.
