How to setup a cataclysm alpha sandbox

[Denial is Ok]

With the cataclysm alpha leaked now, the sandbox was soon to follow.
The setup is extremely easy and simple

1. Download and install the alpha client Filebeam - Beam up that File Scottie!

2. Download and run the sandbox server http://wowcore.ru/downloads/SandBox.exe.rar

3. Open C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft Beta\Data\enUS\realmlist.wtf and replace all the text with set realmlist 127.0.0.1

4. Run the sandbox.exe file and run the wow alpha client

5. The user and password is anything you like it to be as long as the are the same e.g user: test pass: test


NOTES:
The client crashes for unknown reasons
Worgens and goblins appear to be unplayable at the time.
Some major cities seem to make your framerate drop insanely

Don't make a Worgen or Goblin, or any of the new class/race combos or you'll spawn dead.

For some reason the client won't work for me, it just says 'data for the next patch is not available' weird =P

[Don'tTazeMeBro]

Items are all broken is this normal for sandbox? Like there's no stats and it just says +343 SP on everything (but doesn't give it)

[Sorayazlawl]

The only point of a sandbox is to explore the terrain. Besides that, expect nothing.
