2. Installation
A) Save the Repack to the Desktop or whereever you like it. Open it and go to the Folder Ad.exe. Look for the file in wich u installed your WoW (deDE=German, enUS= English etc.). Copy this file into your WoW directory where your WoW.exe and Launcher.exe also are. Then make a new Folder called "maps" w/o the "". Execute the ad file (this may take a while).

Make another DB called "ascentlogon" (once again w/o "" ^^) .
Now Double and then Rightclick on ascent and select Execute Batch File...
Go to your Repack Folder then to DATABASES and select ascent9. Hit Start. This may take a while.
When finished Execute a Batch file for ascentlogon. This time use the file character wich is located in the same directory as ascent9. When finished enter the ascentlogon DB and double click accounts on the right hand side.
In the following Table enter your desired Logon name and Logon password. If u wish to be a gm type in "az" (w/o "") in the gm part. At flags type in an "8" (w/o "").

4. Playing
Start Logonserver.exe and w8 until it says Hooking Signals. Open Ascent.exe. Now go to your WoW Directory and open realmlist.wtf with your Editor. Change it toCode:set realmlist 127.0.0.1 set patchlist 127.0.0.1
