World of Warcraft: Play WoW on private server
In this practical tip, we explain how to play on a private server in WoW.
Find private WoW servers
Playing on a private World of Warcraft server is not difficult. However, it will take some time to choose the right server. We present five good options.
- Cataclysm server: If you want to play the add-on "Cataclysm", we recommend this server. All you have to do is create an account and download the game data directly from the website. You should also change the realmlist.wtf according to the requirements of the server.
- Wrath of the Lich King Server: If you prefer it icy, you are well served with the Wotlk add-on. This server offers you battles against the Lich King. You will find all the necessary game data on this homepage. You need version 3.3.5a.
- The Burning Crusade Server: If you want to travel even further back in time, the add-on "The Burning Crusade" released in 2007 is recommended. The best way to play the BC add-on is on this server. You need version 2.4.3 for this. In addition to downloading the game files, you must also register on the site.
- Mists of Pandaria Server: The add-on "Mists of Pandaria" was released in 2012 and introduced, among other things, the Pandaren people and the new class "Monk". We recommend this private server for playing. Before doing this, make sure that World of Warcraft is version 5.4.8.
- Warlords of Draenor: In the latest expansion, the heroes of Azeroth face the Iron Horde. This server also requires registration and has an active player base. It will be the latest version 6.1.2. supported.
If from now on you only want to play on a private server, it is worth selling your correct WoW account. Also note that Blizzard reserves the right to block your official account if you are playing on a private WoW server.
