Alright i'd really love to play on this server really bad, but i'm having some problems. I downloaded the Utorrent like from when i created account, once that was done i installed the Classic WoW, then the BC WoW, once those finished i downloaded each patch and let them download once they were done and i installed them in the order they came it wanted me to install WoW again but this time in my public folder, so i did and let that install finish, once it was done i made sure i clicked on WoW.exe and not he launcher. (It wouldnt let me change the realmlist either so i assumed it was already changed) So anyways when i clicked on the exe it automatically went up to 3.0.1 and i tried to stop it, so i just tried logging in, but the background was Wrath and when i did login or tried to it gave me an instant wow error. If any GM could please help me, i would greatly appreciate it, i would love to play on this server. It's literally driving me to the brink of insanity i've tried everything i've followed the steps and nothing just a bunch of crap that tells me im on the wrong patch then i unintsall EVERYTHING and reinstall and still nothing i have to be doing somehting wrong i and i need someones help haha please!

Sounds like when "it wanted me to install WoW again" you were actually letting it patch to Wrath. That's the only explanation.

Uninstall the entire game now, and start from the beginning, do all the patches until 2.4.3 and then DO NOT LET IT DO ANYTHING ELSE. Edit your realmlist, open WoW and then you can play.

Omg thank you! I just want to Clarify, Install classic, TBC, then all 6 patches and edit the realmlist? Because when i install the patched 2.0.0 all the way through 2.4.3, once each are done they open up the launcher and want to update and i try to exit out fast so i hope this doesnt happen again

After like patch 2.3 or something is when they implemented auto-updating into the launcher. Simply X out of it every time it tries to start updating.

Once you're on 2.4.3 and you edit your realmlist there's a 2nd line for "set patchlist" if you set that to our server too it won't try patching from the launcher.

I did everything you said in order and it still didnt work. When i try to change the realmlist and patch list this happens... Cannot create the C:/Program files (x86) World of Warcraft/realmlist.wtf file.
Make sure that the path and file name are corret.

Please help man im at an all loss right now.
I also noticed that when i went into the realmlist it was EU and i downloaded it straight from the website, could it be that im in the US and i need a US version and because of that its giving me that message?

Windows at it's finest in security...

That's because of the amount of security you have enabled on Windows. It doesn't want you modifying files in Program Files. Just save your edited copy to the Desktop, click & drag into WoW folder and overwrite. Solves the problem.

Thank you so much!! Ive been waiting to play this, i'm alittle high right now haha im so excited thanks!

While you're at it, disable UAC from Control Panel so you don't get the "are you sure you want to do this?" and program files block messages anymore.
