ha, set it back to normal realmlist. If you created your game account, and are using proper credentials, realmlist is set correctly, there is no WTF folder, antivirus off, you're operating as administrator, you already fished around in yer shorts, then I suggest trying to sign on like thirty times straight. keep at it, PERSISTENCE IS KEY. try moving your IP address with Cyberghost VPN, like I was saying it's good to have that anyways (great for hardcore, barnyard porn marathons). Report back soldier. go get em.

yeah can always switch it back. no harm no foul.

try changing the realmlist to IP address first, that might do it. set realmlist 164.132.233.125

Realmlist.wtf is correct, right? Make sure when you edit it, it's saving. You need to be able to connect through the following TCP ports : 3724, 8000-8100. These ports are sometimes disabled when using public Wifi or professional networks. Turn off antivirus. Can try moving your IP by using Cyberghost VPN, if it's a world routing issue. It's free and handy to have anyways.

Ah I can't remember what that does on windows. I believe it will change your video settings, which you can change back again ingame, or by messing with config.wtf.

Can't change client languages, have to change clients. Only link I have to a german client is on this page somewheres: https://community.mmobase.de/how-join-und-anleitungen/421-classic-wow-1-12-1-client-download.html

Did you create a game account? game accounts and forum accounts are separate. Does your realmlist.wtf file say exactly this: set realmlist logon.elysium-project.org Do you have wow folder installed in program files? if so, move it out of there. Throw away WTF folder. spin around three times, genuflect to the north, light a candle, fish around in yer shorts.

did you edit the realmlist.wtf correctly, saying exactly this: set realmlist logon.elysium-project.org Also, through away the WTF folder in case theres anything funky in there, might as well throw away WDB too.

righteous.

create game account: https://elysium-project.org/play

Ya, ignore the Blizz stuff, almost all private servers still point to that. You did create a game account, right? DC isn't unusual. keep trying.

right on. : )

put it on the desktop. That's what I do on my windows machines with anything important to me, but I have a Mac mind : P

They are separate, keep them separate. When you go to install it, don't put it in program files. After you install it, right click on wow.exe and set it to run as administrator. When you go to play it, launch it from the wow.exe, not a launcher file if you have one. It has no effect on retail files.

Ok goodluck.

don't bother. get the addon spamthrottle. There are just too many of them.

xxdeadtrigger, check Pottu's post on top in this subforum, for some common problem and solutions.

I use rar expander. I think there are a bevvy of extractors that just "do it" instead of getting all complicated and crap.

right on

Is there a little box that says "read only" somewhere when you examine properties of wow.exe? uncheck that mother if there is.

This is forum account not a game account. You need to create one for the game at: https://elysium-project.org/play

Did you create a game account?

I've never typed OMG before, but OMG.
