Guys! I need help connecting! [Mikey is a nubface and can't read]

[mikeysnonsense]

Okay. So. I have the server. I've re-downloaded WoW. I read Shadowmourne's guide and the global announcement, and did everything it told me to.

But everytime I try to connect, it automatically tries to patch to 4.0.1! I renamed the launcher, and deleted the update file 3.xx.xx. or whatever - 4.0.1.[random other numbers].

I want to punch Arthas' face in everytime I open the launcher. Maybe it'll get me kingslayer if I break my computer.

Enough with the silliness! I have tried and read everything that I could find (on CotH, that is), but when I open the launcher, it doesn't let me play. It automatically turns the options/play button bar into a downloading bar and I'M SO MAD I WANT TO PUNCH BABIES UGH.

Help a poor nub out, please?

Don't use the launcher! Open WoW from the .exe so it doesn't try to patch you/set your realm list to the default for retail.

Also make sure your realm list IS set to COTHs, opening it from the launcher may have messed it up.

Alright, checking it now! Thanks so much for the help.<3

Let us know if it works! Also, in the future, threads like these should go into the 'Technical Support' section of the forums so all the techy guys on the server can flock to it [See: Kretol].
