World of Warcraft and The Burning Crusade.

Description

World of Warcraft (commonly known as WoW) is a pay-to-play massively multiplayer online role-playing game. It is Blizzard Entertainment's fourth game set in the fantasy Warcraft universe, first introduced by Warcraft: Orcs & Humans in 1994.[5] World of Warcraft takes place within the world of Azeroth, four years after the events at the conclusion of Blizzard's previous release, Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne. Blizzard Entertainment announced World of Warcraft on September 2, 2001.[6] The game was released on November 23, 2004, celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Warcraft franchise.

Although its initial release was hampered by overpopulated servers,[7] the game became a financial success[8][9] and the world's largest MMORPG in terms of monthly subscribers.[10][11][12] On July 24, 2007, Blizzard announced that the user base for World of Warcraft had reached a new milestone, with 9 million players worldwide.[13] There are more than 2 million players in North America, 1.5 million players in Europe, and 3.5 million players in China as of January, 2007.[14] The game has won numerous awards and recognitions, including GameSpot's Game of the Year Award for 2004.

The first official expansion pack of the game, The Burning Crusade, was released on January 16, 2007. Blizzard announced a second expansion pack called Wrath of the Lich King on August 3, 2007.[15] The release date of Wrath of the Lich King has not yet been announced.

There is also a board game (see World of Warcraft: The Board Game) published by Fantasy Flight Games and a collectable card game (see World of Warcraft Trading Card Game) published by Upper Deck Entertainment.

Private Servers

Now with the private servers. First choose the private server you want. Register there on the server you picked

Code:

If you've done everything I said you shouldn't worry about the game version.
Go to your WoW Directory (usually C:\Program Files\WoW not really sure)
open the realmlist.wtf with notepad and make it say set realmlist "your private server location". The location is usually given at the homepage if not, it should be on wowstatus any way.

post questions here; thanks
