i am going to straight up copy the emupedia forums "what is antrix" thread:
What is Antrix?
Antrix is a server package for World of Warcraft. It does NOT contain any data from Blizzard's software, or any of their official servers content.
What is it written in?
Antrix is written completely in C++.
How does it perform?
The server has been tested with over 1000 clients without any flaws or missing a beat.
What is the database backend?
Antrix uses a MySQL or PostgreSQL backend. Support for Oracle is possible through polymorphism.
How is the server extendable?
The server is extendable through external binary scripts for extra AI, and world scripting.
Who makes this kickass product?
You don't need to know. We perfer to stay anonymous. Do not post questions regarding the authors of this software.
Great, so how can I get a hold of this?
svn://emupedia.com/svn/antrix/
Binary releases are unsupported. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK, PEOPLE CAN PUT VIRUSES IN THEM EASILY. BUILD YOURSELF, YOU LAZY PEOPLE!
How can I help out?
You can either help out by posting detailed bug reports in the bug section of this forum, or by posting source code patches in the appropriate sections. These will be reviewed and added by developers manually. If you have contributed a lot of source code patches, we may consider you for svn access.
Where can I discuss matters regarding to this project?

What advantages does this have over other servers?

* 100% multithreaded with asyncronous database access, so no time is spent blocking, and makes full use of today's multi-core technology.
* Easily developable database via ingame commands.
* GM system based on flags, rather than command levels.
* High-performance network code on all platforms (FreeBSD, Linux, and Windows).
* Most game features working!
* Tried and tested code.
* Easy, non-confusing database structure.
* Want to know more? Try it for yourself.
