How to Join War Servers — WoW TBC

Submit your Create Account Request

Go to the main WoW page at /wow/ and fill out the Create Account Request form on the left.

• Choose a username and password you don't reuse on other sites.
• Submit the form and review the "Account Request Submitted" summary.

The login name and password you enter are sent to an admin for processing. For faster activation, send Warillions a DM in Discord.

Download and extract the TBC 2.4.3 client

Grab the recommended client and extract it into a folder that will be your WoW install.

• Download:
  Download WoW TBC 2.4.3 Client
• Extract the ZIP to something like C:\Games\WoW TBC.
• You'll run Wow.exe from this folder whenever you play.

Set your realmlist to War Servers

There are two ways to point your client at the War Servers realm.

• Option 1 (recommended): Replace the file
  • Open your WoW TBC folder.
  • Delete the existing realmlist.wtf.
  • Download a fresh copy from the site and drop it into the same folder:
    Download realmlist.wtf

• Option 2 (advanced): Edit your existing file
  • In your WoW TBC folder, locate realmlist.wtf.
  • If you don't see the .wtf extension, turn on file extensions:
    • Open any folder and go to View → Options (or Folder Options).
    • On the View tab, uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types" and apply.
    Show example
  • Temporarily rename realmlist.wtf to realmlist.txt.
  • Open it with Notepad, delete everything, and make it exactly:

set realmlist warservers.ddns.net

• Save the file and rename it back to realmlist.wtf.

Launch the game and log in

With your account active and realmlist set, you're ready to connect.

• Run Wow.exe from your TBC 2.4.3 folder.
• On the login screen, use the username and password you requested on the website.
• If you see a connection error, confirm you're using a TBC 2.4.3 client and that your realmlist.wtf contains only:
  set realmlist warservers.ddns.net
• If you still need help, join War's Discord from the main page and ask in chat or ping Warillions.

Optional: Fix resolution / windowed fullscreen

If your game is stuck in a strange resolution or won't stay in windowed fullscreen, you can use a pre-made config file.

• Close WoW if it's currently running.
• In your WoW TBC install folder, open the WTF folder.
• Delete the existing config.wtf.
• Download the replacement file from the site and drop it into the same WTF folder:
  Download config.wtf
• Launch WoW again. You can still adjust video settings in-game afterward.

This config is tuned for 1920×1080 windowed / windowed fullscreen. If you use a different resolution, you can still change it in-game later.
