News

Over the past few days, the ZAMES-WOW project has received a large number of updates both on the website side and across the game infrastructure.

Website and Account Dashboard

The website interface has been completely redesigned into a unified ZAMES style. The homepage, account dashboard, shop, menus, responsive layout, background images, animations, system notifications, and overall readability have all been improved.

Added and improved:

RU / EN localization;
dynamic server online status;
separate counting of players and PlayerBots;
Alliance / Horde statistics;
custom race display;
character pages with classes, levels, and equipment;
player and guild rankings;
news with separate RU / EN versions;
notification system;
account activity history;
modern account dashboard navigation.
Custom Races

The website has been adapted for the custom races currently used on the server.

Separate cards and images have been added for:

Alliance: Void Elf, Worgen, Pandaren, Lightforged Draenei, Demon Hunter.

Horde: Goblin, Vulpera, Nightborne, Pandaren, Demon Hunter.

Faction detection, Race IDs, available classes, and online statistics display have also been corrected.

ZAMES Shop

The shop has been significantly expanded.

New categories include:

Quick Start;
Gold;
Mounts;
Future Transmogrification;
Z Coins / Promo Codes.

A player-to-player gift system has also been prepared, and product presentation has been improved.

Quick Start

A separate Quick Start system has been created.

Three options are available:

CLASSIC START — 300 Z Coins
Level 80 + starting amount of gold.

PvE START — 800 Z Coins
Level 80 + PvE equipment set for the selected specialization.

PvP START — 800 Z Coins
Level 80 + PvP equipment set and PvP bonuses.

The player selects:

character → Quick Start type → specialization → confirms the purchase.

There is no limit on the number of purchases per account.

The server-side ALE/Lua system prepares the character, weapon skills, equipment, bonuses, and teleports the character to Dalaran.

Roulette

A complete ZAMES roulette system has been created.

Implemented features:

one spin every 5 hours;
long, smooth spinning animation;
gradual slowdown;
mechanical sounds as reward cards pass;
different rarity tiers;
gold;
consumables;
emblems;
profession materials;
rare rewards;
legendary items;
an ultra-rare jackpot;
rewards saved in the Vault;
rewards can be sent to a selected character.
Vault

A separate reward storage system has been added.

Rewards from roulette, chests, and other systems are first stored on the website, after which the player can choose which character should receive them.

ZAMES HUB

A dedicated project gaming hub has been added to the account dashboard.

It includes:

account progression;
profile level;
season;
daily rewards;
Daily / Weekly quests;
ZAMES achievements;
collections;
chests;
gifts;
notifications;
activity history;
auction;
project content catalog.
Daily Rewards and Quests

Regular activity mechanics have been added:

daily rewards;
daily quests;
weekly quests;
account progression;
seasonal experience;
profile levels.

This allows players to earn rewards not only directly in-game, but also through the overall ZAMES ecosystem.

Chests

Separate reward chests have been added:

Bronze / Silver / Gold / Legendary.

They can be used as rewards for events, progression, activities, and achievements.

Collections

An account-wide collection system has been created for:

mounts;
pets;
rare items;
custom rewards.

The system will gradually expand alongside new project content.

World Jackpot

A World Jackpot has been added to the homepage.

At the moment, the prize pool is limited to 100 in-game gold so that the system remains appropriate for the server's current population.

Participation is free and is connected only to in-game currency.

Hero of the Day

A “Hero of the Day” system has been added.

A character is selected based on one of several activity criteria:

PvP;
number of HKs;
playtime;
achievements.

The website displays not only the selected character, but also the reason why they became Hero of the Day.

Mystery Chest

A small daily Easter egg has been added.

Once per day, a hidden chest with a small reward may appear somewhere on the website.

Website Atmosphere

Dynamic visual effects have been added:

daytime;
nighttime;
sunrise;
twilight;
snow;
icy fog;
magical particles;
ash.

The effects change over time, making the website feel more alive.

ZAMES Web Chat

A complete project web chat has been created.

Available channels:

General
Alliance
Horde
Bugs
Help

Players write messages using the name of their selected character.

Alliance and Horde have separate faction channels. Messages update automatically without requiring a full page reload.

Added features:

online user list;
character and class display;
anti-spam protection;
automatic updates;
AJAX channel switching;
bug report channel;
player support channel.
Auction

A web-based view of the in-game Auction House has been added.

At the moment, the system operates in a safe view-only mode, without allowing players to buy or list items through the website.

Launcher and Client

The infrastructure for the custom ZAMES Launcher and dedicated game client has been prepared.

The client is being integrated with:

RU / EN localization;
custom races;
required patches;
project updates.

The launcher serves as the foundation for future automatic client updates.

Summary

During this time, ZAMES has grown from a regular private server website into a complete ecosystem built around WoW 3.3.5a:

server + website + account dashboard + shop + Quick Start + roulette + Vault + season + quests + achievements + collections + chat + Launcher + custom project content.

Development continues. The next stage is focused on further stabilization of the systems already implemented, fixing discovered issues, and gradually expanding the in-game content.
