The title really says it all, but I’m self hosting world of Warcraft wrath of the lich king.
I’m just so shocked that it all works to be honest. It’s blowing my mind still.
I always want to play classic wow, but I play so infrequently that it’s not worth paying a subscription.
It never really occurred to me that I could just host my own server until chatgpt recommended that when I was researching things to self hosting.
It’s not public yet as my upload speeds are too slow.
I think I’m going to set the server up on my laptop so I can play wow while on my 14 hour flight coming up.
I’ve always played the game solo anyway due to my casualness.
I just checked the server without logging into the game and it’s using like 106% of the CPU on idle when I logged in and played a little bit. It didn’t change too much but it’s consistently running that high at idle because I guess things in the game world are running so I’m probably going to stop the service and start it when I’m gonna play to just lower my electric usage
Great to know. I don’t know if 106% of CPU is good or bad, but it is not what I had anticipated. Thank you!
