Here you can find different sources of downloads for the the Vanilla World of Warcraft client, specifically patch 1.12.1. These clients are pre-installed so all you should need to do is extract them from the zip file and update your realmlist to the server of your choice.
Direct Downloads
- Windows – Client from Nostalrius
- Windows – Client from Elysium
- Mac Mirror 1 – Mega.nz
Torrents
Note that there have been many reports lately that Blizzard does file copyright strikes with ISPs for people using torrents to download their older clients. There are a couple of different options to help with this, we recommend using either a cloud based torrent client such as Bitport or a VPN (Proton VPN is a solid choice, they have a decent free tier also).
- Windows Client Torrent – Client from Kronos
- Mac Client Torrent – Client from Kronos
I’m getting the “disconnected from server” error after logging into WoW launcher. What does the realmlist.wtf file need to be edit to?
Mine is currently set to:
set realmlist us.logon.worldofwarcraft.com
set realmname “Light’s Hope – Northdale”
What needs to be changed?
Delete everything in the realmlist.wtf and add only:
set realmlist logon.lightshope.org
