BEFORE doing all of this you will need to go to http://www.Vuze.com and download it so you torrent the files that are Downloaded on the Smolderforge website.
1) Create Account then (REFRESH Page) and also fully Uninstall World of Warcraft or make another WoW folder so you can play Retail and Private Server.
2) "Download Game" when you start the download it should show up on your Vuze downloads. (Which shows after you refresh from making a Account or if you relog on the website).
3) When you get the file there is 3 things in it (Burning Crusade, Classic and Patches for both)
4) First is Burning Crusade Client click it and on the very bottom there is a Installer it will install Burning Crusade BUT FIRST you must download Classic which is under that Burning Crusade file and that is the second down from what you got from the Torrent provided.
5) The very last folder in that torrent pack is the patches for those 2 expansions. Copy and paste to (Big) WoW Folder and start by clicking on the individuel patches least to greatest in patch numbers 2.0.0-2.4.3 all the way until 2.4.3 (AVOID INSTALLING ANYTHING EXTRA THAT TRIES TO INSTALL) if you don't you will have to restart. Most of the patches only have 1 download that goes through for each patch but the bigger patches have 2 if you are downloading anymore than that because your Launcher keeps pressuring you to do more STOP IT as soon as possible. You will also notice through the patches it will tell you to Install "Burning Crusade" again, you do not have to it is already installed it just does not recognize it already in your WoW folder.
6) Realmlist.wtf in your WoW folder you will drag to your desktop (were your icons are), and that will give you chance to edit it. Use notepad/word as the program that runs it so you can edit what server World of Warcraft connects to. You will then delete everything in that Realmlist.wtf and copy this in there....
set realmlist connect.smolderforge.com
7) Exit out of that when you type it in then save, after that drag into your WoW folder as it was so and when you run WoW make sure you don't use the LAUNCHER. Use the other WOW Icon that will auto start your WoW up without the news feed or updates. Make sure you have a account registered on the site then log in and your good to go!
Thanks for reading this guide! If you have any suggestions post, this is something I made for my Alliance Guild on Tichondrias to read so they know how to join this server because they have never downgraded so much. Hopefully this helps players log on Smolderforge and enjoy the server.
