Hello, I just installed WoW Vanilla client this morning from the CD's I. Download them run patch 1.12 first and when it is finished run 1.12.1. Welcome to Elysium! Signage for office walls. We are a vanilla World of Warcraft project, striving to be as Blizzlike as possible. This means that your game play experience should be as close to 2004-2006 as we can possibly make it. As such, all of our rates are 1x and quests, spells and instances work the way they did back in the day. Please read this thread if you are a new player (or an old returning one wanting a refresher) before posting questions or issues. The aim of this thread is to cover how to get your client up & running, how to register an account for yourself, and how to handle some common issues. Later in the thread, some basic in-game advice will be given as well as directions to more information. Quick Links: • • • • • Installing WoW 1.12.1 You can use any World of Warcraft client to play, as long as it's version 1.12.1. Where you got it from doesn't really matter. You can Google around for one, but we also provide some handy links for you to download it from: • • Once the download is complete, you might have just a single file, named wow.zip or wow.rar. This means that the file is an archive and needs to be extracted first. The best program for that job is. Once you have 7-Zip installed, you can just double-click the wow.zip or wow.rar file and 7-Zip will open it up. Select 'Extract to' and give a destination folder. NEVER INSTALL WOW UNDER PROGRAM FILES You will only make life difficult for yourself in the future if you do. C: Games WoW is a good place or something similar. This is because ever after Windows Vista, Windows tries to protect important files, making life difficult for gamers who wish to fiddle with the game files. And you will fiddle with them. If your download is not an archive, you can just move it from your download directory to wherever you wish to play it from. The next step is to go into the new wow folder and locate a file called 'realmlist.wtf' - it might only show up as 'realmlist', that's fine. Right-click on it and select 'Open with' and once Windows asks you what program to use, locate Notepad and use that. Remove everything that is in there and copy & paste the following: • set realmlist logon.elysium-project.org • Save and close Notepad. • Finally, right-click on the file 'wow.exe' and select 'send to desktop'. This will create a shortcut on your desktop that launches World of Warcraft. You should not use the launcher as that is useless with private servers. • Congratulations, your client is ready to go! Registering an account You cannot play with just a client. You need an account. Go to our account creation page. Note that you need a valid email address to register. Please don't use a throwaway account, as you need this email to be able to change your password. There is no other option for changing your password! When choosing your username and password, few things to keep in mind: • Please do not use the same combination that you've used on other private servers. This is the most common reason for accounts being compromised. • Remember that the maximum length of each is 15 characters. • Pick something that is easy to write but difficult to guess. Don't just use 1234 as your password.
