Development of a World of Warcraft 3.3.5a server from scratch (TrinityCore / C++ / SQL / Eluna)

Budget: 27000 UAH Deadline: 7 days

Hello, Bogdan!

Understood: long-term, from scratch, to set up and bring a WoW 3.3.5a server on TrinityCore (C++/SQL/Eluna) to a working state — core, Battleground, custom systems, step by step with in-game testing.

To be honest right away: I haven't worked with TrinityCore specifically. But I have something that is rarely found in responses — real server experience in MMORPGs with C++. I have been working with Mu Online (C/C++/Asm) for a long time: custom game systems (Drop System, Item Lottery, various seasons, and much more), network protocols/packets through sockets, SQL logic, a launcher with auto-update. In other words, an emulator of an old MMO client with custom mechanics — a domain where I have actually worked, not just read about.

I don't see this as a red flag; on the contrary, architecturally TrinityCore is of the same nature: C++ core + SQL + Lua + DBC data + custom modules. I can build the specifics of Trinity (Battleground, WorldState, DBC/MPQ) on this basis; C++ and server game logic are not new to me. It will be enough for me to spend a little time to get into the project.

And I fit your format in that I specifically "bring it to a fully working state," not just writing code — step by step, with in-game testing and clear reports, as you request.

I will honestly mention: C++ game-server is from an earlier period of my career (the last few years have been backend/AI/mobile), so I would start with Trinity from "entry into the core + bug map" to give an accurate step-by-step assessment.

Question: do we start with the bugs of the current Battleground (Slavery Valley) or right from the server base from scratch? We can discuss the hourly/step-by-step format. Expand

The budget of 27,000 UAH can be considered as the first technical stage, rather than the development of the entire server from scratch. A complete server 3.3.5a with custom systems, PvP, PvE, transfers from AzerothCore, and in-game testing is likely to be work for months and a separate estimate.

I would start with a review of the core, SQL, Eluna scripts, DBC/MPQ parts, and the Battleground game scenario. Then, a short plan of stages, a list of risks, corrections of critical errors, and in-game testing. We can keep it simple - first, we bring the basic mechanics, WorldState, match start/end, points, and gates in order, and then we build new systems.

> First stage
>> audit of the current TrinityCore 3.3.5a
>> check the transfer from AzerothCore
>> analysis of C++ and SQL errors
>> correction of 1-2 critical game scenarios
>> report on changes and further estimate

Access to the repository, launch instructions, a database dump or test database, client 3.3.5a, and a description of the benchmark behavior of BG will be needed. If there is a video of the bug or a list of points where the match breaks, it will save time and thus money =)

I would like to clarify 2 points.
> Is it currently needed to start from an existing TrinityCore project or a clean build from scratch without preserving current modifications?
> Is the priority of the first stage to bring Slavery Valley to a working state or to build a stable server base for further modules?

From our similar types of tasks cases - not literally about WoW, but about complex server logic, long systems, and architecture.

!!The main thing is not to sell the illusion that a server can be built from scratch in one small stage. It’s better to create a solid foundation; otherwise, technical debt will later consume the project, as they say, a miser pays twice.!! Expand

Good day! We have extensive experience with TrinityCore and the 3.3.5a architecture. We will implement your project through C++ core optimization and customization of Battleground logic, ensuring stability and correct operation of SQL scripts. We are ready to start refining the Valley of Trials and integrating the necessary mechanics.

Hello! I am very interested in your project. Creating a server "from scratch" based on TrinityCore with further deep customization (new classes, races, custom BG/Arenas) is a large-scale and technically beautiful task in which I have the necessary experience and expertise.

I do not just write code according to specifications; I have a great understanding of the core architecture, server-client interaction, and the client-specifics of patch 3.3.5a.

Hello.

I have reviewed your project and requirements. I am specifically interested in long-term collaboration rather than completing a single task.

I have experience in C++ development, working with SQL (MySQL/MariaDB), Git, Visual Studio, CMake, as well as designing and supporting server applications. I have a good understanding of the phased development, testing, and maintenance processes for complex projects.

I am ready to dive deeply into the project's architecture, study the current implementation, assess the existing state of the core, and propose an optimal plan for further development. I work meticulously, document changes, and adhere to a phased approach with mandatory testing of each implemented functionality.

I am particularly attracted to projects that develop over a long period and involve creating custom game systems, mechanics, and expanding the standard server functionality.

If the project is still relevant, I would be happy to discuss the details, review the repository, current tasks, and identify the most priority areas for development.

Thank you for considering my application. Expand

Hello.

I have experience with TrinityCore and commercial experience in C++: large codebases, CMake, Git, SQL, server logic, debugging, and fixing complex bugs.

I am interested in your WoW 3.3.5a project based on TrinityCore in a long-term format. I understand that here not only code development is important, but also working with the core, database, client, game mechanics, Battlegrounds/arenas, Eluna, and testing directly in the game.

I am ready to start with a small paid phase: to review the project, assess the current state, create a work plan, and close one specific task so you can evaluate my approach.

I work in stages, with Git, change reports, and testing after each stage.
