    At what point have you just forked yourself in the same repo?

    Edit: actually that’s basically what it is

    At the moment, TrinityCore supports 3 main branches:

    3.3.5 targeting original 2010 wow 3.3.5a, you need wow 3.3.5a.12340 client for it to run, wotlk 3.4 client is incompatible. best for starters

    cata_classic targeting 2024 wow 4.4 retail cata classic, you need wow 4.4.x client for it to run, cata 4.3.4 client is incompatible. very beta

    master usually targeting current retail version. a lot of missing content

        Not familiar enough with this particular project to know, but a quick glance at the commit log shows some overlap in commit authors, so I guess there is at least some level of sharing happening, probably just not through merges.

        But being familiar with this kind of project in general, the branches will probably never be fully merged even in the future, just doesn’t make much sense because they are server software targeting very different versions of a game client. There are also two other branches, but they “only” diverged by like one or two thousand commits so far.
