World of Guildhall
A co-op adventure for a handful of friends, set in WoW Classic's Elwynn Forest and Westfall. Quest and hunt your way from Northshire to the Deadmines: your character keeps adventuring while you're away, and dungeons are where you play together, live.
Prototype. The first slice: levels 1–20, two zones, one dungeon.
What's in it
- Classes: all nine of Classic's, one spec each for now. Tanks: Protection Warrior, Protection Paladin, Enhancement Shaman. Healers: Restoration Druid, Holy Priest. Damage: Frost Mage, Combat Rogue, Beast Mastery Hunter (with a wolf), Affliction Warlock (a Voidwalker alone, an Imp in a group). Each spec has four signature abilities, learned at levels 1, 3, 6 and 10.
- Auto or you: every ability is either on auto (a rule decides: "someone under 50%", "a mob is casting", "a mob hits someone else") on a 1.5× cooldown, or in your hands on the real one. Manual abilities only fire when you press them, and only while you're watching: look away for 12 seconds and they go back to auto, so nobody idles into a wipe.
- Combat: live, in quarter-second steps on the server. Mobs pick targets by threat (tanks make 1.8× threat, healing makes half), cast telegraphed spells you can interrupt, and break out of crowd control when hit. Bosses have phases: Mr. Smite stomps and swaps weapons, VanCleef calls his Blackguards. Tap a frame to target it; tap a party member to aim your heals.
- Questing: 24 quests with Classic's names and chains, from Kobold Camp Cleanup to The Defias Brotherhood. Kill, loot (quest items only drop while you're on the quest) and travel objectives; rewards are a choice of gear.
- Travel: places are joined by roads that take real minutes. Hunts are where the mobs are, quest givers stand where they stood in Classic, and the dungeon door is in Moonbrook.
- Idle: start a hunt and leave. You fight, rest and fight again for up to 12 hours, finishing quest objectives as you go. Three deaths in a row and you stop.
- Dungeons: the Deadmines, nine pulls and five bosses, for a group of 2–5 (packs shrink for smaller groups). Everyone meets at the door; the leader leads you in and can pull early. Bosses give every player their own loot roll at gear they can use.
- Gear: seven slots, cloth/leather/mail by class, Classic-style generated
greens (
Rough Leather Boots of the Monkey) and named blues from the Deadmines.
Running it
nix run . -- --dev --port 8100 --db ./wog.sqlite3
--dev trusts a wog_user cookie (a user switcher on the Adventure page) and
adds cheats: set level with matching greens, skip time, teleport.
tools/balance.py solo|dungeon [runs] [perfect] simulates solo hunts for every
class and all-auto Deadmines runs.
In production it sits behind Authelia, which passes the signed-in user in
Remote-User. The NixOS module is nixosModules.default (services.wog).
