I hate wow, never actually played it but, the point is its a rip off, they charge you every damn month you play,

why should you have to buy a game then pay for it again and again, I have battlefield 2142 and they have free servers to play on,

WoW is just a rip off you waste your time playing it then they bring out another expansion pack, oh wow another expansion, at this rate that game is never going to end, so much for peoples broadband. Get something that is going to last.

How To Play World Of Warcraft For Free!

I actually agree with Valkyria about blizzard not caring. I mean, put yourself in the position of the player. He doesnt wanna pay but all his friends say it's great, so he loads a pirate version.

Fun for a little bit, but then it gets boring. He wants to play with other players and so convinces his parents to pay 15$ a month. Not that much. Plus, now that kid is spreading the word that its much better on the real servers.

So Blizz gets 3 things:
1) payment for the game, even if its kinda late

2) They taught a law breaker that cheating is no fun

3) and they have one more spokes person crying out against pirate servers.

Believe me, I've played WOW, and the numbers of players means that the income received every month must be high millions, if not billions of dollars. They probably couldn't care less about what is probably 10,000$ a month.

Playing WoW for free is no hard task to complete it just takes time to search and research the necessary tools needed to play it. There has been a lot of leaked code out there to run WoW servers on your computer. But your computer can not probably handle the traffic that you will probably get when you host a game like that for free. You would probably need to get a server box to hold the world, another server box to hold the created accounts, and probably another to hold the npcs and enemies that are within the world. Even if you happen to get one server up and running you will and can count on hackers trying to make a mess of things when you try to host it on your server. Maybe some of the blizzard members themselves will probably try to mess up your server just for trying to attack you back for trying to create something that they have created.

So its just probably better to just go to their official server and just pay the monthly fees to enjoy the world that they have created. If so many have joined the game and flushing more money into it, it has to be that its good enough for the price of the monthly fees right? If you cant afford the world of warcraft game you could try the numerous free games out there, or try the one time pay mmorpg, guildwars that recently came out with a good quality game graphicly and story, it is not much of a open space like world of warcraft, but it does offer the same competitive play that you can find in world of warcraft.

Thanx but i prefer to not get banned from these boards...

How do you change from a private server to the normal server for WoW?
How To Play World Of Warcraft For Free!

I was on the normal server for WoW then decided to play for free through a private server. Now it's gone and I want to change back to the normal server in order to play WoW. But, I don't know how to change back. Can anyone help me?? Thanks, D.

I agree about that what you have written, they don't care if 15$ dollar dose not come come to them because they are getting alot of dollars every month, I have a magazine about PC Games(Games For Windows 2007),in the magazine it was written that millions of players have joined WOW,you can now just imagine of how many money will they get 15x100000 = 1500000$ which is alot

Wowscape is unreliable.
How To Play World Of Warcraft For Free!

WoWscape is NOT a great private server for those people out there who are desperate for a good laugh on WoW! Now, saying that its good for some people but personally I don't really like it. It doesn't work for many people (such as myself!!) It works for some people and they say it is fantastic. But, people do NOT use WoWscape as it is very unreliable!!

nice private server rocks

you mean you changed the realmlist file in your WoW folder to connecto to the private server?

if you want to change that just edit that file again, but change the values to this:



remember to open the game using the launcher, as you will be prompted to download a patch in case there's a new version out there.

If you can't play even after changing the realmlist, then run the repair.exe in your wow folder, that should work, but it takes several minutes to repair your installation and rolls your installation back to 2.0, so you will need to download patches again.

I personally have done a private server and its really not fun at all...theres are like 5 other dudes on the server and its cheap and not worth your time. The idea and concept is good and it does work however just be for warned if you do this you are at risk to get caught and its really worth the 15 dollars you pay for the real game.
