So, due to the demands of Yellow (who, along with Blue, has come over to the dark side with me) I am going give a quick lesson on how to play WoW on the free server Majmar has decided to invade.
#1 Download yourself some WoW. Use the bittorrents for this, download the free trial from Blizz, bust out your old disks, whatever you want.
#2 Patch your WoW all the way up to 3.3.3 This can be done by running the launcher once you’re done installing WoW.
#3 Go to http://wow.dethpod.com/TrinityWeb/index.php?n=account&sub=register
#4 Make an account.
#5 Go into your WoW folder (usually called Program Files\World of Warcraft\Data\enUS\), open the file called realmlist.wtf in notepad and change it to say ONLY the one line below:
set realmlist wow.dethpod.com
#5 Start your WoW using the wow.exe NOT launcher.exe
#6 Pick a Horde character.
#7 Whatever you do DO NOT go Gnome Mage.
#8 Profit.
Now, there’s a bunch of addons that will make the game not suck so much. These should get you through the basics:
I’m sure our resident-former Retail Junkie (Ronin) will tell me that these are crap, and list off the 3,000 other addons I SHOULD HAVE put on this page. However, I just don’t feel like going through all of them. Curse has a whopping big bunch of addons you can feel free to try as you like.
Once you’ve created a character, send an in-game mail to either Whitesnake or Wendy, and get gold, bags, and fun prizes! Ok, so there’s no fun prizes, but be happy with the gold and the bags.
Now you know where you’re going and what you’re doing. And knowing is half the battle!
So you are trying to get me to play a mmorpg?
Im going to go paint something green and watch the paint dry. have fun.
This coming from a man who plays tabletop games and LARPs.
Hey tabletop RPG’s at least involve face to face social interaction and LARP actually contains physical activity.
also fuck that I’m playing on a Vanilla WoW private server.
actually I changed my mind. I’m just gonna keep playing borderlands.
fuck you all. My game is patching now.
Nice will save there, dave.
