AzerothCore vs TrinityCore differences

On 3.3.5a, roughly 95% of dot-commands match between AzerothCore and TrinityCore. TrinityCore 3.3.5 uses RBAC (Role Based Access Control) in worldserver.conf — you may need to grant permission groups instead of only GM levels on newer TC branches. AzerothCore adds .mod commands when optional modules are installed (transmog, account mount, etc.) and integrates Eluna with .reload eluna. Always test destructive commands (.character erase, .clear) on a staging realm first.

Running a professional realm

Document your GM command policy for staff, log every .additem and .ban action, and publish player-facing rules on your website. When your realm is ready for players, list it on RealmRanking and link this command reference from your staff wiki alongside our AzerothCore setup guide.
