Hey everyone, after the release, i thought if writing a guide, through which you can easily make an Ascent Server, Online !!!.

Guide:-

Step 1:- (Downloading Files)

* The Repack Itself, here is a Mirror:- D2-Net.zip

3. Open the Mysql Folder.
4. Turn Mysql.bat on. (Please read if it says, that it has started.

Step 3:- (Releasing Ports)

1. Alright, first click on Start, then Run CMD.
2. Once it Opens, type, Ipconfig and Hit Enter.
3. 3. Instead of that, find Default gateway, and copy the address written in front of it.

5. Now as the page comes, go in Port Forwarding and forward these ports.

3. Click on "System 32".
4. Click on Drivers,
5. And then Open E.t.c.
6. Inside you might find 4-5 files.

10. As you open "Run" type "Cmd"

 127.0.0.1 (The Host Name)
(Put the Internel Ip here, which you found from CMD) (The Host name here)
(Put the Externel Ip here,) (The Host name here)

Step 6:- Making your Server Public

Go In your D2-Net/Ascent Folder and Open ascent-realms.conf, which looks like this in the End

<Realm1 Name = "Test Realm"
        Address = "127.0.0.1:8129"
        Icon = "PVP"
        Colour = "1"
        Population = "1.0"
        TimeZone = "1">

Change it to this:-

<Realm1 Name = "Put your Server Name here"
        Address = "Put the Host you made from dyndns.com here:8129"
        Icon = "PVP"
        Colour = "1"
        Population = "1.0"
        TimeZone = "1">

Open WoW and login with Username and password "admin" without "" of course.
