HermesProxy

This project enables play on existing legacy WoW emulation cores using the modern clients. It serves as a translation layer, converting all network traffic to the appropriate format each side can understand.

There are 4 major components to the application:

• The modern BNetServer to which the client initially logs into.
• The legacy AuthClient which will in turn login to the remote authentication server (realmd).
• The modern WorldServer to which the game client will connect once a realm has been selected.
• The legacy WorldClient which communicates with the remote world server (mangosd).

Supported Versions

| Modern Versions | Legacy Versions | |-----------------|-----------------| | 1.14.0 | 1.12.1 | | 2.5.2 | 2.4.3 |

Ingame Settings

Note: Keep Optimize Network for Speed enabled (it's under System -> Network), otherwise you will get kicked every now and then.
