Welcome to C(ontinued)-MaNGOS
CMaNGOS is a free project with the following goal:
Doing WoW-Emulation Right!
This means, we want to focus on:
-
WoW-Emulation
This project is about developing a server software that is able to
emulate a well known MMORPG service. -
Doing
- This project is focused on developing content!
- Also there are many other aspects that need to be done and are
considered equally important. - Anyone who wants to do stuff is very welcome to do so!
-
Right
- Our goal must always be to provide the best code that we can.
- Being 'right' is defined by the behavior of the system
we want to emulate. - Developing things right also includes documenting and discussing
how to do things better, hence... - Learning and teaching are very important in our view, and must
always be a part of what we do.
To be able to accomplish these goals, we support and promote:
-
Freedom
- of our work: Our work - including our code - is released under the GPL.

but we are here to enjoy. - to have FUN with developing.
- of our work: Our work - including our code - is released under the GPL.
-
A friendly environment
- We try to leave personal issues behind us.
