Introduction: WoW Private Servers
This will show you how to play World of Warcraft without paying!!! There are servers that instantly give you level 80, free items, etc. There are also just regular servers if you want to play for real. Note: you may need to pay for the actual game, but not the monthly fee Blizzard charges. (But there might be free downloads of the game out there.)
Step 1: Install WoW
Make sure you have World of Warcraft installed, including all the expansions and patches.
Step 2: Choose Your Server
Search in google: WoW private servers and click the top link. http://www.xtremetop100.com/world-of-warcraft Look through the list on this page until you find a server that looks good to you. For explanation purposes I will choose the #1 ranked server which is Rightwow.http://www.rightwow.com/
Click on the link to it. Register a new account on the server site you wish to play on. (This will be your World of Warcraft login) After making an account, find "Connecting to server" or instructions on how to connect. To play on a private server, they should give you a IP address, or website. This will be typed in one of your World of Warcraft files. OK here is where it gets a little harder. Go to your World of Warcraft folder. (Default: C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft) and locate "realmlist.wtf" open this with notepad, or another text editor. It should say set realmlist us.worldofwarcraft.com, delete that so it says set realmlist "your server". For our case "set realmlist 67.228.160.27" save the file and exit.
Step 3: Play!
Run World of Warcraft and log in with the account you made from the private server you signed up for. Connect to a server and pwn some noobs!
FYI: I no longer play World of Warcraft. WOTLK was too scary for me. :[

Since this guide explains how to get started on a WoW Private Server, I thought it would be necessary to elaborate on what servers you can actually play on. As you may know, there are a lot of servers to choose from, and each offers a ton of different functionalities. Due to that, there's a site that you can use called Zremax, which filters and sorts all the WoW Private Servers listed, so you can find the one just for you!
Find your WoW Private Server at https://zremax.com
An example of a WoW Private Server you can play on, and find on Zremax.com, is a TBC Private Server called Atlantiss: https://zremax.com/server/atlantiss/

I can't believe how many views this has gotten over the years. I've taken quite a long hiatus from Instructables but I'm thinking I should definitely be coming back with all of the crazy things I've done over the years! Currently working on some fun mechanical projects. (2 Cars, motorcycle and boat....) So we'll see how the free time goes. Thanks to all who made this 'ible stay alive.

wont you get banned for playing on private servers
Reply 13 years ago on Introduction
No, Blizz has no rules against it, and even if; they would have no clue if you did. They have no control over the private servers being run.
