SAME here. It's due to the realm name change. Every time I quit the game this line in Config.wtf:

Code: Select all
SET realmname "Nostalrius Begins PvP"


gets changed back to the original:
Code: Select all
SET realmname "Nostalrius Begins"


Which of course no longer exists. Many of my addon settings got screwed up too because they save which realm they were storing info for, and since it changed they now consider it to be a brand new server... Really don't know why the realm name needed to be changed just because they added a PvE server :evil:

I believe this is because of a read/write issue. It seems the realmlist.wtf file is not being written to when you select a realm in the game. In order to fix:

Run Notepad as Administrator
Open realmlist.wtf (it's in the main ...\World of Warcraft Classic\ directory).
Change the line set realmname "Nostalrius Begins" to set realmname "Nostalrius Begins PvP"

I first tried this with the Config.wtf but that file didn't seem to be responsible, however, it's probably best to do this for both files. I hope this helps you and others.

Interesting. My realmlist.wtf remains the same as it was: set realmlist login.nostalrius.org


But my config.wtf file now has: SET accountName "your account name here" in it....and it works fine. I also have separate app folders set up for each realm. :)

Like I said, it's not the Config.wtf

The file responsible is the realmlist.wtf

Greetings,

move your installation from Program Files or wherever it currently is to, say C:\Games for example. That will fix the issue.

Moving the game to another folder didn't change anything for me.

Thank you, DumbFrogposter for the mostly correct answer. It was not due to read/write permissions issues, but it's that the realmlist.wtf file in the MAIN WoW folder (NOT in the WTF sub-folder) that needs to be edited to make it able to save the Realm name properly automatically in the Config.wtf.
