Patch 3.0.2 (I think that's it) is coming out tomorrow (Tuesday).
Be sure -not- to patch if you want to continue to be able to play on the server. As long as your realmlist is set how we have in several locations, then you will have no problems.
I'm going to guess that it may take a few weeks until the emulator code is caught up. In the mean time, for those that still play on Live, I'd suggest to make a copy of your WoW directory and patch up one of the directories while keeping the other one unpatched.

Need an easy way to host/link files and images? Check this thread! Try to never just say, "My character isn't interested in that adventure." A lot of people mistake this for good roleplaying, because you are asserting your character's personality. Wrong. Good roleplaying should never bring the game to a screeching halt. One of your jobs as a player is to come up with a reason why your character would be interested in a plot. After all, your personality is entirely in your hands, not the DM's. Come up with a reason why the adventure (or the reward) might appeal to you, no matter how esoteric or roundabout the reasoning. -(Source)
Also I was told this new patches destorys the realmlist.wtf file so we will not able to crack it for awhile untill someone finds a new way to go around it, blizzard states they are trying to do away with the private severs and the only way is with this new patch they built.
So we are kind of in problems here unless someone can find a new way to crack the which I don't doubt that some one will find away eventuly.
In the famous words of Douglas Adams:
DON'T PANIC.
Frankly, there's no reason to worry about this at all. If the Ascent team manages to emulate the patch so that it works here, then it's all good and we get new stuff. If they can't... guess what happens!
The apocalypse?
No!
The end of the server?
No!
Fatal errors?
No!
The server will remain... as it is now. No biggie.

Actually, it seems the realmlist file was moved to the \Data\enUS\ directory.

~pant, wheeze, pant, wheeze, deep breath~ x_x I was freaking out today and couldn't wait for the day to end so I could get home and try and tell you all something that my friend, who also plays private servers, but his dad is a major retail WoW addict, told me. Apparently, someone already said it, and has a solution, but it might help to restate this. X( Do not patch! Blizzard is deleting or moving the realmlist, and maybe a few other things. >_< Until we know our solution works, I would advise just staying off retail and not patching, if you want to be safe and stay on this server. x_x Sorry if this is repetitive and all, but I don't want to lose you all. Now, if you don't mind, I need to go find some comfort food and unwind...
Aww, that's unfair! If we could patch, we'd get all the new content, the Barber Shops, Stormwind Harbour, New Zeppelin Towers and Dalaran are all ingame! You can use them without WoTLK. Hurry ArcEmu!!
Thanks to me WoWnerd buddies [Trust me, they get weird. >_>], I have learned something a little interesting.
The patch SUCKS.
It's really glitchy and made my really nice friend curse out loud...A lot. Anyways, the point is this patch most likely needs some refining by Blizzard.
