WoW Midnight Server — TrinityCore 12.0.7 (build 68275)

A documented, community-maintained World of Warcraft: Midnight private server built on TrinityCore master, at the current retail build 12.0.7.68275 — plus a set of original server-side fixes that make the newest content actually playable.

What makes this project different

Most public WoW private servers run old expansions (Wrath 3.3.5a, Cata, MoP…). This one targets current retail — patch 12.0.7 “Midnight” and is kept honest and playable:

	This project	Typical private server
Client build	12.0.7.68275 (Midnight, current retail)	3.3.5a / 4.3.4 / 5.4.8
Races	All 26 incl. allied races unlocked, Dracthyr Evoker intro working	Classic races only
Content span	Vanilla → Midnight in one DB, 517 maps populated	Single-expansion
Companion bots	Creature bots (`.bot`) + fake-player bots (`.pbot`)	Usually none / 3rd-party only
Data policy	Maximized to the public-data ceiling, gaps documented honestly	Often silently broken
Fixes	Curated, reversible, ID-band-safe community fixes (this repo)	Ad-hoc

Highlights

Newest content, actually reachable — allied-race and class intros, modern zones (Khaz Algar, Isle of Dorn, Harandar) resurrect-able and quest-able.
Curated fix pack — quest-chain repairs, quest-blocking GameObject spawns, legacy-raid lockout/journal bindings, newest-zone graveyards. All additive, all reversible, all on empty ID bands so they won’t clash with a stock install.
Honest engineering — where the engine hits a true ceiling (boss combat AI, brand-new phased-scene scripting), it’s documented, not faked.

In-game screenshots

These are placeholders — drop your own real gameplay screenshots into assets/screenshots/ and they’ll show up here. (We ship no Blizzard game imagery; see DISCLAIMER.)

Two ways to install

	Path	Guide
🛠 Manual	Build & run on the host directly	this branch — docs/en/SETUP.md
🐳 Docker Compose	Everything in containers, fixes auto-applied	`docker` branch

Both lead to the same server. Either way you supply your own client-extracted data and world DB (Blizzard’s property — see DISCLAIMER).

Quick start (manual)

Build the core — TrinityCore master. → docs/en/SETUP.md
Extract game data from your own retail client (maps/vmaps/mmaps/dbc).
Import the world DB and run worldserver + bnetserver.
Apply the community fixes in sql/. → sql/README.md
Connect your client. → docs/en/CONNECT.md
