Hey , all.
I'm feeling messed right now and confused, i have plans what i wanna make from server but i don't know from what to start, world build, items, core modifications , npc spawning and etc, maybe anyone have "plan" how to make that in best way to don't mess up staff in future. ?

- Start to do things, which doesn't depend on anything else and go step by step, i created a table for you to show you, what i mean:

You need this | For this
Core mods/scripts
Bossmonster | Core mods/scripts
Items | Bossmonster
Monster | Items
Quests | Monster
NPCs | Quests
Areas | NPCs
(Story | Areas) (You don't always need this for a wow server, most don't have a own story)
Now read only the left things from the top.
For core mods/scripts, you need a bossmonster. For a bossmonster, you need items. To get items, you can kill monster. You kill monster, because you have a quest, where you need to kill them. To get these quests, you need some NPCs. To spawn some NPCs, you need a area to spawn them. Start with the area/world building (or the story, if you got one).

- You could also create a game design document, that will always show you the concept of your server
- Write everything you want to have in this document. e.g. items, draw a sketch for every area you want to modify etc
- List everything that the player can do, even after full gear. If you see that this isn't enough, you should think about your concept

He pretty much was specific beyond what I would probably write. XD

I'm a software developer atm, but i want to get a job as a QA-tester for games in 1-2 years and after that i want to get my dream job, a job as a game designer (they love it, when their game designers have much experience with games AND code :3). That's why i always think about things like that.
