Hi, here's my first guide on how to make your very own private server. I had tons of troubles with it and finally did it. So, let's begin.
Step one.
First off, you are going to have to have a repack. Here's a link to one of the best.
(ArcEmu 2.4.3)
ArcEmu for 2.4.3.exe - wow, private, server, 2.4.3, noob,
Step two.
Once you have downloaded the file. Unzip it, you should now see a program called ad.exe (or just ad) Open up your WoW Directory folder and put ad.exe in it and run it. (If you have problems with it running. Try running as administrator.
Step three.
Once ad.exe is finished in your WoW directory folder there should be a folder named "maps". Put this folder into your ArcEmu folder.
Step four.
Now. There should be a program in your ArcEmu folder called "start background" run it. (ALWAYS RUN THIS FIRST!) In the folder there should also be a program named account creation. Run it.
Here's what you could use for the info
Username: admin
Password: admin
Email: care
Flags: 8 (if you have BC.. if you don't just put 0)
Is this a GM account?: AZ
Now run arcemu.world
And then run arcemu.logonserver
Step five.
You are almost done! All you need to do now is go into your WoW Directory again and edit your realmlist to 127.0.0.1 (if you have problems with it saving, try dragging it to your desktop, edit it, and put it back in your WoW Directory folder)
Final step.
Your server is now running! All you need to do now is log in with the user and password that you made using the account creator earlier.
You are done!! Congratz!
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask. I have ran into every problem possible and know how to fix it.
Final step.
