Vanilla WoW Download – 1.12.1 Client

Vanilla WoW Download - 1.12.1 Client

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

Torrents
Note that it is possible that Blizzard does file copyright strikes with the 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 Bittorent or a VPN (Proton VPN is a solid choice, they have a decent free tier also).

  • Windows – Client from Kronos
  • Mac – 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?

you dont need to extract anything. Just drag the folder to your desktop or another drive if you want to, go in to realmlist and make sure you put the server / realm your playing on, when you have done that, you can just click the wow.exe and play. remember this is the 32 bit client not x64, the x64 never existed back then, so your graphics are rendered mainly by your cpu rather than your graphics card

Hi guys. I have downloaded the windows 1.12.1 client, dragged it to my other SSD drive (bigger) and play it from there. I have a huge problem though, which is mainly I cannot right click my avatar. I right click on my avatar and nothing happens, it doesnt give me a short list of what I can do, and since I cant right , i cannot move it. I installed dominoes fix for this version of the client, and its exactly the same in that I cannot right click the darn thing. Any other clients that arent bugged and that I can right click? also there was a lot of skipping of frames…not sure what that was all about.

I was able to download the torrent, but I dont quite understand what to do next. I have a mac computer so I downloaded the MAC torrent file, and im trying to use Open all files application. Do I need to extract this file? And if so can someone recommend a program to download that allows that on Mac?

Yo, I really want to see if I can install this on Windows 98. When I try to run the installer it says it needs a newer version of Windows. Is there a version of WoW Vanilla that can run on Win98?

the torrent link for Mac doesn’t work.
I tried to download via the direct downloads, but we have to subscribe to DL the files.
What other solution Mac users have ? I really want to join you guys 🙂

The Windows Kronos 1.12.1 client torrent magnet file isn’t working, it was removed from the host file sharing site for “breaking” the rules.
