How to run your own WoW server and make it public

[Versus]

Ok well this is my guide on how to run your own WoW server which you can edit to the way you like, choose who you want to be GM and have people play on your server

 

First of all download http://www.mediafire.com/?9naye0njsej and save it to your deskop.

 

I will break this down into seperate parts.

 

Part one:

1) Open your internet explorer (opera, firefox, IE7) which ever you have.

2) go to www.dyndns.com and make an account if you don't have one.

3) Login and go to the "services" tab.

4) Now, click on Dynamic DNS.

5) Click on "create host".

6) Fill in the details and leave all default except for "wildcards" make sure it's checked.

7) Click "add host" and thats part one done.

 

Part two:

1) Click "start" then "run"

2) Type C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\

3) This will open a folder, then open the "hosts" file with notepad / wordpad.

4) At the bottom of the text file put in :

127.0.0.1 (Dynamic DNS)

(Internal IP) (Dynamic DNS)

(External IP) (Dynamic DNS)

 

In the place where it says "(Dynamic DNS)" replace that with the DNS you made at www.dyndns.com

In the place where it says "(external IP)" replace that with your external IP for example mines 86.20.156.23

 

External IP can be found at www.ipchicken.com

Internal IP can be found by going start > run > cmd > ipconfig

 

5) Save and quit.

 

Part three.

1) Run AC web ultimate repack that you downloaded earlyier.

2) It should be located in your C:\

3) Open the Ascent folder.

4) Open realms.CONF with word or notepad.

5) Change  "RealmCount ="2"> It should say 2, not 1."

6) Change

<Realm1 Name = "YOUR REALM NAME"

        Address = "YOUR EXTERNAL IP:8129"

        Icon = "PVP"

        Colour = "1"

        Population = "1.0"

        TimeZone = "1">

 

<Realm2 Name = "YOUR REALM NAME - Local"

        Address = "127.0.0.1:8129"

        Icon = "PVP"

        Colour = "1"

        Population = "1.0"

        TimeZone = "1">

 

That's what it should look like. You should have two realms.

6) save and exit, you're done with part 3.

 

Part 4 (only if you have a router):

1. Find out what the IP Address is, which allows you to connect to your router. I know Netgear is 192.168.0.1. If you don't know.. Ask your parents, a friend, or your routers help line.

 

2. Once you connect, it should ask for a Username & Password. The username is Admin. The password is either admin, or password.

 

3. Forward the following ports. If you don't know how.. Ask.

 

*Note: Don't use DMZ! It doesn't work. Period.*

 

3724 - 3724

80 - 80

3306 - 3306

8129 - 8129

8093 -8093

6112 - 6112

6881-6999

3036 - 3036

8050 -8050

 

4. If your router has a built in firewall, disable it. Along with any windows firewall you have. Unless you know how to set an exception.

 

Part 5:

Connecting to your Antrix server.

 

1. Open your World of Warcraft directory.

2. Copy your realmlist.wtf, and rename the second one to realmlist2.wtf. (This is so you still have the live server addresses.)

 

3. Open your realmlist.wtf in Notepad/Wordpad.

4. Delete everything, and add "set realmlist 127.0.0.1"

5. Save and Exit. Move on to part six.

 

Part 6:

Getting your friends to connect to your Antrix server.

 

1. Have them open their World of Warcraft directory.

2. Have them make a copy of their original realmlist.wtf, so they can still play live WoW.

3. Have them open realmlist.wtf in Notepad/Wordpad.

4. Have them delete everything, and add "set realmlist (Your Dynamic DNS, which you created in part one.)

5. Have them Save, Exit & Connect.

 

If you did everything correctly. Your server is now public. No Hamachi. Your friends can connect and you can all do whatever you want.
