Guides

If your WoW is not at patch 2.3 go to the downgrade guide first before you connect to Warpgrounds.



Connecting to Warpgrounds

1. Download and Install hamachi Here ( You need to submit a form to access the download links )
2. Now when done installing hamachi open hamachi up and press the power button in the lower left corner.
3. Then press the button with the three triangles in the lower right corner and select "Join an existing Network"
4. Now it will ask for Network name and Network password. Heres the information:

Network Name: Wheeze
Network Pass : bakari999

5. Now when you're done with that and connected to a network called "Wheeze" you should be able to view this Website: http://5.8.90.17/index.html
Create an account by typing in your username and password. Congratulations ! you just made your Warpgrounds account !
6. Go to your WoW directory ( Commonly at: C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft ) open realmlist.wtf with notepad. Now it should say:

set realmlist eu.logon.worldofwarcraft.com
set patchlist eu.version.worldofwarcraft.com

Change it the line "set realmlist eu.logon.worldofwarcraft.com" to "set realmlist 5.8.90.17" and save the realmlist.wtf .
7. On this step, make sure you have changed your realmlist, made an account and connected to Hamachi. Go to WoW put in your Username and Password and login. Congratulations ! you are now a part of Warpgrounds !!

Downgrading Guide

1. Download patch 2.2 Here: WoWwiki Patch Mirrors ( scroll down until you see "2.x -> 2.3.0" and select EU or US.. depending where you live )
2. While you are downloading the patch let's downgrade your WoW.
Begin on going to your WoW folder. Go to Data folder and delete the file under the name "patch.MPQ"
3. When patch.mpq is deleted go back to WoW folder and launch the application: "repair.exe" it should have a wrench icon on it.
4. Now click check files only. The Blizzard repairer should say that your WoW is critically damaged.
Just press ok and it will downgrade your WoW to 2.0.0.
Now we just wait until patch 2.2 is finished downloading.
5. When patch 2.2 is finished downloading run it and wait for it to finish.

WARNING: When finished downgrading to 2.0 and back to 2.2 do not launch WoW with "launcher.exe" in your WoW folder. Use the "WoW.exe" . The launcher automatically starts downloading patch 2.3 and you can only play Warpgrounds on patch 2.2 at the moment.


Extra information: We are only using patch 2.2 at the moment, when Chrispee makes a 2.3 repack we will update A.S.A.P

Events

Duel Tournament: When we have the time and effort for it we are going to host a duel tourney on Warpgrounds ! Ofcourse we will separate all levels so duels will be fair and GM's cannot compete unless if they have fair gear and level and no gm commands ofcourse. Gold and gear will be rewarded for winners. Still in progress though, we need to finish this event fully.

First players: If you are one of the first 10 players to join our server you will be rewarded with prizes like: Gear, Gold, Bags and levelups. The winner chooses what he wants. But not too much
