    [Realmlist] Unable to use a private server account

    Hello, I've tried playing a trial account for a while, and when coming back to the private server I can't enter a regular account. I get the following error:
    You must log in with a Battle.net user name and password. To Creat an Account please [Click Here] or go to: https://us.battle.net/account/creation/landing.xml to begin the conversion.
    Any help?
    I've tried searching site/google/etc.

    Be sure to change your realmlist again.
    Located in your WoW\Data\<enGB or enUS etc>\realmlist.wtf

    If that is done;

    1) Be sure that you start wow with the wow.exe and NOT launcher.exe

    2) delete cache and WTF folders.

    If you want to save your game setup you can open up your wtf folder and then config.wtf and then search for anything like us.logon.worldofwarcraft.com or eu depending on where you're from, then change that to the private server realmlist, hope this helps! Because deleting your wtf folder can mess up your action bars and video settings and put them back to default.

    There weren't anything with "logon", thanks though.

    Every time I delete it and enter the game, it shows me the video, asks me to accept ToS, and then it asks for a battle.net ID, and the folders are recreated.

    It won't say that if you have your realmlist set properly, as far as I know.

    - Are you sure you set the realmlist correctly? set realmlist *server*, eg. set realmlist 127.0.0.1
    - Are you sure you cleared the patchlist setting, in realmlist.wtf?
    - Are you starting with WoW.exe and not launcher.exe?
    - Are you sure the server you are trying to connect to is online?

    Aside from that, i'd try setting your realmlist file to Read Only.

    My realmist.wtf was set as "logon.zhyperwow.com" (the server) without set realimst, which may have caused the problem.
    The only thing written in realmist.wtf was the adress.
    Yes, I do not use the launcher.
    When I tried it eariler it was online, I'm pretty sure it isn't the problem.
    The file was already listed as "Read Only".
    And after the changes it still doesn't help me, and asks me for a battle.net ID with the same error. I will try when the site is back and I'll know for sure if it's online.

    EDIT: The site is now online, I know for 100% the servers are up and it still gives me the error.

    You have to have "set realmlist". You shouldn't have "set patchlist", or anything else.

    Therefore the following should be the only thing in the realmlist file [World of Warcraft\Data\enUS\realmlist.wtf].

    set realmlist logon.zhyperwow.com
