You need to set the realmlist first.

Open the realmlist.wtf file that's in the main folder and put the following contents inside:
set realmlist connect.smolderforge.com
Save, and then boot the game.

you should have realmlist file not realmlist.wtf

i have no idea about this acess denied thing, maybe you git from feenix, i heard of some people getting it there and having troubles connection to other servers, here you can find working tbc:

Turn off UAC to save it. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/wind ... rol-on-off

Or save to desktop, click and drag it in and overwrite.
