It would be absolutely amazing if someone could write a very detailed up to date guide.

I'm sure this comparison is annoying to hear, but because of the sheer amount of guides and assistance, creating a wow server in comparison is by far, much, much easier.

The out of date stickied posts make it very confusing.. And who knows how many more great servers might spring up if it was a little easier!

It's not annoying to hear. I'm in the process of doing just that and it will be done today. If someone beats me to the punch cool, if not, it will be posted today. Whether or not it's sticked is another subject.

@sorvani, yes, but lets admit, having more than one stickied all of which vary in their own ways is a little perverse and inconvenient. Though, hopefully what I have half put together will help resolve that and provide a constructive criticism, more importantly an accurate solution.

Someone could, and just like all of the other guides it would quickly be out of date.

If someone put it on the wiki instead then it could be edited as things change.

Even so, the older guides outline the steps needed to set up a server just fine. The filenames may be out of date, and they may recommend an earlier version of Perl, but the concept is still the same.

The concept may be the same but when the guides are linking and telling you that you MUST use a certain version of software that, even combing through google searches was near impossible for me to find, it's going to be hard for anyone new to do this.

I'm definitely looking forward to your guide Ghanja.
