TrinityCore is an open-source game backend and MMORPG game server emulator. It is implemented as a C++ game engine designed to handle real-time network traffic and game state synchronization, utilizing a MySQL database schema to store player profiles, inventories, and world state.
The project provides the infrastructure necessary for MMORPG server hosting and private game server administration. It includes tools for game world customization, allowing for the modification of game mechanics, item statistics, and quest scripts.
The system manages virtual world infrastructure through multi-threaded packet processing, zonal spatial partitioning, and a cache-layered data access model. It ensures world persistence via a database-backed system and utilizes an event-driven scripting engine to trigger custom game logic.
