How to Make a WoW Private Server in 15 Minutes!

Well, this is my first instructable, so it's not perfect. Another thing: sorry for my bad english .

-What are we going to make?
-A private server, on that you (only you!) can play.

-What are we going to make NOT?
-A pirate server, that causes commercial trouble for the game's developers (Blizzard)!

Step 1: Programs

Allright, let us begin:

You have to download a program: AC Web Ultimate Repack 7.7 [link]

And you need the .Net framework 2.0 (you can download that by Microsoft, it's free)

OK, once you downloaded the program, install it (to the the default directory, or the server won't work!!!)

You are ready for the next step!

Step 2: Map-data

You will need the WHOLE map-data of WoW (in 2.4.2 ca 941 MB, make sure you have enough space!). You can collect that from your WoW installed on your computer. Go to the "C:/AC Web Ultimate Repack/ Tools/Map Extractor enUS" directory and copy "maps" and "ad.exe" to your directory (default: C:/Program Files/World of Warcraft/), then start "ad.exe". This app will collect the map-data (it takes some time).

Once it's done, copy the "maps" folder to the "C./AC Web Ultimate Repack/Server/Ascent/" directory.

Done? Right, next step.

Step 3: Logon Configuration

Right, now comes the funny part. Open the "ascent-logonserver.conf" with Notepad. There should be some text like that:

<LogonDatabase Hostname = "127.0.0.1"
Username = "root"
Password = "ascent"
Name = "logon"
Port = "3306"
Type = "1">

If everything looks like this, you can close the file, if not, change it to this (exactly this).

Step 4: Ascent Configuraton

Now, open "ascent-realms.conf". Look for something like this:

<LogonServer Address = "127.0.0.1"
Port = "8093"
Name = "Logon Server"
RealmCount = "1">

If everything's like these, then OK, if not, change them.

You have to change another things

<Realm1 Name = "Your Server Name"
Address = "127.0.0.1:8129"
Icon = "RP"
Colour = "1"
Population = "1.0"
TimeZone = "1">

Everything's like the previous steps.

Step 5: World Configuration

Last, configuration . Ok, let's open "ascent-world.conf". Look for something like this:

<Rates Health="1"
Power1="1"
Power2="1"
Power3="1"
QuestReputation="1"
KillReputation="1"
Honor="1"
PvPTimer="300000"
Compression="1"
XP="5"
QuestXP="5"
RestXP="5"
DropGrey="15"
DropWhite="10"
DropGreen="5"
DropBlue="2"
DropPurple="2"
DropOrange="2"
DropArtifact="2"
DropMoney="5"
Save="300000"
SkillChance="1"
SkillRate="1"
ArenaMultiplier2x="1"
ArenaMultiplier3x="1"
ArenaMultiplier5x="1">

I bolded (?) the lines you can change (by the way, you can change this values to whatever you want). Don't change the unboldeld lines.

Step 6: Changing Your Realmlist

Go to your WoW directory. There is a file called "realmlist.wtf" Open it with Notepad. Delete everything, and write "set realmlist 127.0.0.1" in it.

To start your server go to your "C:/AC Web Ultimate Repack/" Directory and run "Control Panel.exe", then click on the first three buttons (we don't need Apache, it just slows down your computer).

We're finished! you can play now on your own WoW server for FREE!
