You first of all need to have a BATTLE NET ACCOUNT or LAUNCHER

After that, you will need to navigate to where RETAIL is installed. To check out where it was downloaded press GAME SETTINGS. Look at INSTALL LOCATION and that's where it's downloaded.

---

How to see where RETAIL is installed

---

After navigating and finding out where the RETAIL LAUNCHER is installed you will need TO TAKE EVERYTHING OUT of the _RETAIL_ FOLDER.

---

MOVE OUT EVERYTHING from the _RETAIL_ folder into "World of Warcraft"

---

If you've done EVERYTHING CORRECTLY your folder for "World of Warcraft" should look something like this

---

After you've done all of this now you have to INSTALL THE FREAKZ LAUNCHER. To install it you need to download this. You need an UNZIPPING/EXTRACTING SOFTWARE to do this step. UNZIP the 3 files from our launcher into "World of Warcraft" FOLDER.

---

IF YOU'VE DONE THIS SUCCESSFULLY YOUR FOLDER WILL LOOK LIKE THIS

---

Now the only thing left to do is press "launcher_freakz". YOU CAN'T PLAY ON OUR SERVER IF YOU DON'T USE THIS LAUNCHER



IMPORTANT INFO

* The launcher will automatically download other game files if required or if your game files are not complete.
* The initial start can take a while (between 1 to 30 minutes).
* Don't open it multiple times, it's running in background.
