Where do I start? and a few questions.

[DroppedPJK]

This isn't about anything server related but I have decided to pick up a hobby for the school year.

 

I have no plans for the server I am going to create to go online and if it does, only for a few friends (less than 5 lmao).

 

My main question is which guide should I use to start from scratch? They are all sadly DATED, and I really wish to start from the latest update or "revisions"?

 

http://rathena.org/board/topic/84746-tutorial-how-to-create-ragnarok-offline-2013-client-tutorial/

 

There's that one^

 

There's a bunch on a forum that all about private server development (all of which detail rAthena and one with eAthena) but they are dated back in 2012.

 

And of course there's anything I can find on the wiki.

 

However, I really want to look at just one and gather from the rest if I run into a problem. Does anyone have a better start?

 

My last question is, I am running a windows 7 64 bit computer, will that be a major problem?

 

Thanks for the help / advice!

Hi DroppedPJK,

 

The best place to start for the emulator would be here; http://rathena.org/wiki/Installation_on_Windows

And here for the RO client; http://rathena.org/board/topic/86650-officially-supported-client-versions/
