Here we go! - (only for wowtaiwan using foreign client)
1. install the client of the language of your choice first e.g. English / german / russian.
2. Update your Client to the current version.
You can fill in any random account name and password it will update anyway!
3. Go to your C:/ World of Warcraft Folder .
This path might be different if you install it in a different folder
4. Go into the Data folder, then into the enUS/enGB/frFR/deDe/ruRU folder and open the file realmlist.wtf
sidenote: you can open this file with notepad or word.
5. Change the text inside the file so it looks as the following:
QUOTE
set realmlist tw.logon.worldofwarcraft.com
set patchlist enUS.patch.battle.net:1119/patch
set realmlistbn ""
set portal us
then save it.
6. " SET locale "zhTW" " inside WTF\Config.WTF to " SET locale "enUS" "
(WTF folder can be found in your wow folder)
You might want to keep a Copy of the original file since you need these settings if you would like to update your game client to the next version.
Or you can simply changes the lines back the way they were for your country's settings.
7. Extract the
Font file you DOWNLOADED into your World of Warcraft game folder. Alternative download location -
here. Third download location:
Here8. Start up the game and see what happens !
Important Notes:The instruction given in this thread is to put as following:
QUOTE
set realmlist tw.logon.worldofwarcraft.com
set patchlist enUS.patch.battle.net:1119/patch
set realmlistbn ""
set portal us
As u can see, the above allow u to play wowtaiwan, using US client while downloading patch directly through US.
This conveniently allow u to update and continue the game.
However this also result in early updates of patch or hotfix (i think there is some options to disable auto updates)
What i do is, i use the following
QUOTE
set realmlist tw.logon.worldofwarcraft.com
set patchlist zhTW.patch.battle.net:1119/patch
set realmlistbn ""
set portal us
When i need to update, i change back the realmlist.wtf
QUOTE
set realmlist us.logon.worldofwarcraft.com
set patchlist enUS.patch.battle.net:1119/patch
set realmlistbn ""
set portal us
Usually i just copy and replace.
By doing this, i wont get early updates.
Then, switch back to Taiwan to play.[/spoiler]
Updated main thread with realmlist change.
I repost the instruction at above thread. Please provide feedback.
Thank you many for your contribution for the troubleshoot.
Also, most of the addons seems not working atm. FYI
