Which client to run

This realm runs World of Warcraft 1.12, the original release. A 1.12 client reaches it by build number, not by the version printed on its box.

• 1.12.3 — build 6141
• 1.12.2 — build 6005
• 1.12.1 — build 5875

Run any of these. The realm answers all of them, and a 1.12.1 client is the build most mirrors carry.

Get the client

This site does not host the game. The 1.12 client this realm answers is available from the mirror below, which carries the same build numbers the realm stores:

• Internet Archive — World of Warcraft 1.12.1 (build 5875): eight languages (enUS, enGB, deDE, frFR, esES, koKR, zhCN, zhTW), about 5.4 GB each, plus a torrent for a resumable download.

Unzip the download into your game folder, over the existing files. If you already have a 1.12.2 or 1.12.3 client, keep it — the realm answers all three builds.

Point it at this realm

Your game client reads one file, realmlist.wtf, in the game folder. This site publishes it, and its contents are:

set realmlist wow.tonymontoya.net

Download that file and save it as realmlist.wtf next to Wow.exe, replacing the one that came with the game. The address here is the one the operator published for players; the realm's own settings may name an internal address that only works from the server's network.
