(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); This will make it able to play on private servers because usually there not on the latest patch and Blizzard now made it so when you install the game it installs right to 4.x.x

What you are going to want to install the game. Let it download update tools and then it downloads like a 10.6MB file. After that a screen with pop up and in the bottom left of the screen it will say updating 3.x.x -> 4.x.x Click CANCEL!

Now we are going to have to manually patch so first of all you will have to go to this You must login or register to view this content..

Now if you have to go beyond there you will have to search the web to find the other downloads. Usually people don't need paste 3.3.5a so thats all im providing. You can also download someone else 20GB torrent. I do not find that way faster but you never know.

Now when your first patch is done downloading you with have a executable file. If you try and run that it will say wow.exe is not found. Or atleast for me because my WoW folder is in c:/ not the normal directory. You want to click and drag the file to your WoW folder then run it! Click and drag will be lots faster then copy/paste.

Path all the way up to the specific patch and your done!
