About¶
Splintertree is an educational open-source MMO server emulator for the Classic era. This site is the project's public home at splintertree.org.
Educational project
Splintertree ships no Blizzard data, does not operate any public realms, and does not recommend running public realms with it. The codebase is a study in distributed-systems design, modding pipelines, and Rust-based MMO emulation — it is not a way to play the game.
