Guide To Connect A WoW Private Server

This short step-by-step guide is which I collected for showing you how to connect to a WoW Private Server.

Connecting to a WoW server is extremely easy. Unfortunately, some people have no idea how to do it. The answer is within your World of Warcraft folder. Here’s how to do it.

Step-By-Step

1. Find your World of Warcraft Folder (Probably Computer > Program Files > World of Warcraft)

2. Once you found the folder, open it up.

3. Find the Data folder and open it.

4. Open the enUS folder.

5. Open realmlist.wtf.(Open it with Notepad)

6. Erase everything in the notepad file.

7. Type in “set realmlist”

8. Find the IP for the WoW server you are connecting to.

Here are some examples:
- NoIP: set realmlist servername.no-ip.biz
- Hamachi: set realmlist 5.XXX.XXX.XXX

9. After you enter the IP, save and exit the file.

10. Next time you open WoW, it will connect you to that server.

11. Enjoy

Other Info

- Owning and playing on a WoW private server is against Blizzard’s Terms and Conditions, thus making it illegal. Play WoW servers at your own risk.

- Playing on a WoW server may be quicker to level up or get gold, but they can never match the real game. Private servers contain too many bugs/glitches that the real WoW will not have.
