You can press enter at the exact right time during connecting / authenticating so that you'll be shown the server list again :).

Either that, or there's a "change realm" button, on the char cration screen that'll display all the realms.

You won't have access to the other realms. If you select one, you'll get stuck in a disconnect cycle because they are rejecting your login. To get out of this, click the cancel button or hit escape near the end of the prompts. It may take a few tries to time this right, but when you do, it'll take you back to the realm select screen. Alternately, you could change the realmlist to another server, connect to it(get to the character select screen), then switch back to Nostalrius. This'll cause the client to hit the realm select screen again. There are probably more ways to fix this issue, but I don't know them all yet. If more ways are known, they can be posted. Remember that you only want the "Nostalrius Begins" realm, and that once the choice is made, the client will remember it for you. You don't have to select it again unless you connect to a different server then come back.

Already posted this fix in another thread, but I might as well copy/paste it here.

This fix won't reset any of your other in-game settings. A file called Config.wtf should be located in your WTF folder. If opened with wordpad it should look something like this:

Code: Select all
SET readTOS "1"
SET readEULA "1"
SET readScanning "-1"
SET readContest "-1"
SET hwDetect "0"
SET gxColorBits "24"
SET gxDepthBits "24"
SET gxResolution "1920x1080"
SET gxRefresh "60"
SET gxMultisampleQuality "0.000000"
SET gxFixLag "0"
SET fullAlpha "1"
SET lodDist "100.000000"
SET SmallCull "0.010000"
SET DistCull "500.000000"
SET trilinear "1"
SET frillDensity "48"
SET farclip "777"
SET specular "1"
SET pixelShaders "1"
SET particleDensity "1.000000"
SET unitDrawDist "300.000000"
SET movie "0"
SET realmList "login2.nostalrius.org"
SET gxTripleBuffer "1"
SET gxMultisample "8"
SET lod "0"
SET shadowLevel "0"
SET anisotropic "16"
SET M2UsePixelShaders "1"
SET mouseSpeed "1"
SET Gamma "1.000000"
SET profanityFilter "0"
SET MusicVolume "0.5"
SET SoundVolume "1"
SET MasterVolume "1"
SET weatherDensity "3"
SET cameraYawMoveSpeed "180"
SET cameraYawSmoothSpeed "180"
SET cameraDistanceMaxFactor "2"
SET realmName "Nostalrius Begins"
SET gameTip "58"
SET ChatBubblesParty "1"
SET SoundZoneMusicNoDelay "1"
SET AmbienceVolume "0.80000001192093"
SET uiScale "1"
SET autoSelfCast "1"
SET guildMemberNotify "1"
SET accountName "NoneOfYourConcern"
SET minimapZoom "2"
SET minimapInsideZoom "1"
SET cameraDistanceMax "50"
SET lastCharacterIndex "1"


Close wow.exe if it's open. Find the line saying SET realmName "[servername]" and replace it with SET realmName "Nostalrius Begins". Don't forget the quotes. Save the file and restart WoW, it should now connect you to the correct server and retain all your other settings.
