How to make a WoW Private Server in 15 minutes!

Step 6Changing your realmlist

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!

I'm assured that this DOES NOT work for 3.3.5. I had problems with "Unable to validate game version," then once that got fixed it was stuck at connecting. Even after trying to port foward to all the of the ports above.

I tried opening the retail wow launcher and used "root" as my username and "ascent" as my password (which I was told to do), but it denies the account. I then used my retail wow acount to look for my new relm in the relmlist and it didn't show up. Please respond quick!!!!
May 7, 2010. 11:26 PMdanecook says:

Mar 16, 2010. 10:50 AMXeno Dragon says:
Just wondering about the port forwarding. I'm not entirely sure where to go to even begin entering the above info. I have a linksys router, and my PC is connected wirelessly to the hub, which I also have access to. I can let you know the exact model of the router if it's needed. I feel like a noob asking, but when it comes to networking, I am about as far from a Cisco Cert as I can be.

Thanks for the guide, and looking forward to a reply.
