WoW Europe Forums: Clarifications on region clients |
Listed in: Titles, Tutorials Tags: Aeus, Australia, Blizzard, Europe
We're sure somebody might benefit from this region-related discussion underway at the World of Warcraft Europe forums, so here goes. According to forum member Johnspartan from Australia, he's interested in playing his original character (a paladin) from the US/AUS servers in the EU servers. The problem is, due to region restrictions, this means that he will have to install two different versions of WoW in his PC - one for EU,and one for the US. At 10GB HD space per game, that means he'll be allocating a total of 20GB just for WoW.
Blizzard spokesman Aeus replied with the following guide:
AfaIk the English client is one and the same. Copy your entire WoW folder and just change the realmlist.wtf in the WoW root. For EU it's set realmlist eu.logon.worldofwarcraft.com, so for US I guess it's set realmlist us.logon.worldofwarcraft.com. But I'm sure some helpful players with US/AUS accounts can help you there.
The limitation we'd like to point out is that this fix only works for English realms - JohnSpartan mentioned that the character he had in mind was in a French server. The fix in turn only displays English realms. Aeus hasn't replied to this latest language barrier complication, although thread member Fiskerdin came up with his own suggested fix:
So you might want to download the EU version, uninstall the US version and install the EU version, however you'll have to wait a day each patch day because the US get's their patch a day earlier.
If you feel technically inclined, you can also append -console to the the command line and use ` (Character next to 1) to access the console, from there you can write:
realmList us.logon.worldofwarcraft.com
realmList eu.logon.worldofwarcraft.com
Thus you can change the realmlist on the fly without closing down the client.
Guys having similar problems may want to check the thread out from time to time in case Aeus updates with more helpful hints on this matter.
