I do not know if this is port forwarding related, but I own an apple extreme...and if there are any apple users that know how to port forward, please throw me a bone.  Tryin to figure it out, but gah.... pain in the butt.  I am at the airport utility and it says enter the public utp udp and private utp udp and the ip address.  I figure the ports and ip go with the private stuff... but public? should I leave it blank?  meh

I use an Apple Extreme, it should work with default settings.

 

Firstly, make sure that the World of Warcraft folder is nor write protected. i.e. Its permissions are read/write for you.

Open the World of Warcraft folder

There should be a file called realm list.wtf 

Drag that over textEdit's icon to open it.

The contents should be

set realmlist logon.elysium-project.org

Save that, do not allow TextEdit to change the file to a .txt file if prompted.

If this file does not exist, create it.

There may be a folder called WDB - delete this. It is cache only.

There should be a folder called WTF. Open this, inside inhere may be a file called Config.WTF. Delete that.

Double click on the WoW Classic icon. Enter your Username and password. Select a server/realm. You should be good.

hmmm, I noticed that I did not have realmlist.wtf because I changed that to set realmlist logon.elysium-project.org...

So, I created a new one with the proper contents.

I deleted the WDB and WTF... and still disconnecting immediately upon pushing enter after inputting password... never get to realm list.  I verified my account, changed my password etc.  

 

Does the game have to be on C: or can it be anywhere?  Currently is in 1.12 folder.  Anymore help would be appreciated.  Sorry for late reply am on vacay.

The game should/could be on any folder, although Programs can cause problems.

If you are on Windows, make sure that the World of Warcraft folder is not in Programs, the desk top is fine.

If you are on a Mac, make sure that the World of Warcraft folder and its contents are not write protected (Getinfo)

Open the World of Warcraft folder - delete the WDB folder, it is cache and will rebuild.

Open the file realmlist.wtf with a text editor (notePad/TextEdit

Make sure that the CONTENTS are ONLY 

set realmlist logon.elysium-project.org

There is a folder called WFT, open that, delete the file called Config.wtf if it is present.

Usually good at this stage

 

Please try this

Glad it all worked. Software, sometimes it seems to have a mind of its own.
