Hopefully this guide will unite the SWAT members willing to play World of Warcraft.
Here is a free server that is been choosed. Server is currently using version 2.3.0 (latest). Server settings are like on the official ones from blizzard except for experience multipliers, which is not too high than the usual. More info about server settings you can find here.
To play you need to do go through few steps:
1) have WoW Burning Crusade 2.3.0 installed
2) go to your game folder and edit realmlist.wtf to look like that
3) create account at server's website (here)
Now when you ready to play, won't be that easy to contact other play in game. Problem is cause this (and all other illegal) servers have more or less some bugs and usually you can't see all players online but just part of them (like those with same race). Thats why you can check for someone over here.
Let me know if you start playing, to help you get started.
