-### Step 2: Prepare Game Data Files
-
-The server automatically downloads and extracts game data on first run. The `ac-client-data` service will:
-- Download the latest client data from wowgaming/client-data releases (~15GB)
-- Extract maps, vmaps, mmaps, and DBC files
-- Cache the download for future deployments
-- Verify data integrity
-
-No manual data extraction is required, but ensure you have sufficient disk space and bandwidth.

 Deploy services in the correct order:
 
 ```bash
 # Step 1: Deploy database layer
 docker compose --env-file docker-compose-azerothcore-database.env -f docker-compose-azerothcore-database.yml up -d
-
-# Step 2: Wait for database initialization, then deploy services
-docker compose --env-file docker-compose-azerothcore-services.env -f docker-compose-azerothcore-services.yml up -d

-# Step 3: Deploy management tools (optional)
-docker compose --env-file docker-compose-azerothcore-tools.env -f docker-compose-azerothcore-tools.yml up -d

-# Monitor deployment progress
-docker logs ac-client-data -f  # Watch data download/extraction
+#The database import happens automatically via the `ac-db-import` container. Monitor progress:
 docker logs ac-db-init -f      # Watch database initialization

-The database import happens automatically via the `ac-db-import` container. Monitor progress:
-
-```bash
 # Check import status
 docker logs ac-db-import -f

 # Verify databases were created
 docker exec ac-mysql mysql -uroot -p${MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD} -e "SHOW DATABASES;"
