Cannot join (Joined wrong realm).

[Xanus]

Hello,

When the server disconnected I accidently joined the test realm. Now I've tried everything and deleted my realmlist and replaced it, downloaded the correct_realm.bat and still it won't let me get back to my old realm.

Can any dev or GM help me?

Thank you.

Just throw away your WTF folder and sign in again. Select US and pvp.

Solved.

I had tried this a dozen times but it always stays the same either I am stupid or I don't know how to reset the realm and language thing. Sorry for wasting your time if you can't answer me.

I have the same problem and deleting the WTF folder doesn't seem to help. Anything else that can be done?

Same problem and throwing ouy WTF file doesn't work either

throwing away the wtf is the quick and easy solution for someone whom has already logged on to nostalrius and then developed problems later.

before that you need to set your realmlist to the correct login. use textedit or any simple text progam to open up the document titled realmlist.wtf in your wow folder and change the info in there to either of these exactly:

set realmlist login2.nostalrius.org

or
set realmlist login.nostalrius.org

If you've already done that and nothing works look into this. Use your simple text program to open up config.wtf, it's in the WTF folder.

In it's pristine unadulterated state, it should read exactly this:

SET hwDetect "0"
SET gxColorBits "24"
SET gxDepthBits "24"
SET gxResolution "1366x768"
SET gxRefresh "60"
SET gxVSync "0"
SET gxMultisampleQuality "0.000000"
SET gxFixLag "0"
SET fullAlpha "1"
SET doodadAnim "0"
SET lodDist "80.000000"
SET SmallCull "0.080000"
SET DistCull "350.000000"
SET frillDensity "8"
SET farclip "200.000000"
SET particleDensity "0.300000"
SET movie "0"
SET readTOS "1"
SET readEULA "1"
SET realmList "login2.nostalrius.org"
SET realmName "Nostalrius Begins"

If you still have problems:

Check your firewall setting and/or try running as administrator


Right-click the Battle.net Desktop Application icon and select Properties.
Select the Compatibility tab.
Click Change settings for all users.
Under Privilege Level, check Run this program as administrator.
Click Apply.

Fixed by pasting the above into the Config file. Had to save it to the desktop and then drag it into the original folder. Then running the game as administrator. Thank you.
