Step 1 Find your World of Warcraft Folder

Tip: If you are using Windows right click the icon of the game on the desktop and push the Find Target button, this will take u exactly to the folder

Step 2 Find the Data > EnUs(or EnGB) Folder

Tip: For Windows, Dublu Click the Data Folder in the WoW Folder then Double Click the EnUS(or EnGB depends on ur version of WoW) Folder

Step 3 Find the file "Realmlist.wtf"

Tip: Sometimes the extesion wtf is missing, being hidden by the operating system, don't worry if u find in WoW>Data>EnUS(EnGB) a file "realmlist" thats the one!

Step 4 Open the file

Tip: If you get the message to chose a program to open it, pick a text editor like Notepad

Step 5 Replace the server in the realmlist.wtf

Tip: The line in the file starting with "set realmlist xxx" must be replaced with the one provided by your server
Tip: Sometimes is better if you have only that line in the file
example:
set realmlist logon.wowlegacy.net
Or other times, when u are sure about the connection you can also use:
example:
set realmlist 66.207.165.3
set patchlist us.version.Official.WoW
set realmlistbn ""
set portal us

Step 6 Save the File! Don't forget :lol:

Tip: If you play on multiple servers you can use the Save As option and keep for each server a reamlist_myserver.wtf file and just copy paste addresses each time you switch.

Step 7 Optional Delete the folders WoW>Cache and WoW>WTF

Tip: Deleting these folders gives you a fresh start, remember all notes and addon settings get deleted.
Tip: Use it only if you have problems connecting after the realm change has been done

Step 8 Enter the Game and Enjoy

Tip: when playing private servers, the safe option is to use WoW.exe ( WoW>WoW.exe) to start the game, using Launcher.exe (WoW>Launcher.exe) will also connect to blizzards update servers and might update to a version not supported by the private server yet.
Tip: There are special programs that you just add the realmlists and you pick which server u want to connect, these programs do the realmlist.wtf editing on the fly. Be careful using such programs, some might be fishing for your account and password!!

Good Luck and Have Wild Fun in the World of Warcraft
:-D
