If you don’t know the game-version, at least the expansion is necessary to know.Īfter you have registered on your wanted server, and registered yourself, you need to note down their Realmlist. Therefore, you need to know the game version of the server.

For example, if you need a Cataclysm 4.3.4 Client it’s not the same download & game version as a Wrath of the Lich King 3.3.5 Client – hopefully that makes sense to you. – What version is the server on? This has a huge difference, because for each World of Warcraft Expansion, the client is different. In order to get started playing, there are some facts you need to know before being able to connect to your wanted server. Therefore, the second option can be argued as more stable, whereas the first option is ‘faster’.

This can take a few hours to download, but it doesn’t download the content while you are playing.
VANILLA WOW GAME CLIENT FULL
The second client possibility (from Cataclysm and up), is a Full game client. This is quickly downloaded within a few minutes, but that’s because it downloads the game while you play. The first one being a minified and fast version of the game. Since Cataclysm, there have been two Client versions possible to download. The reason is that most of the servers run on these patches, so you don’t really need for example a 4.0.6 client, because there are barely any servers supporting that. In theory, there are actually more WoW Clients such as 4.0.6 and more, but the listed ones above are the most popular ones. There are many different clients for WoW, which you can read below:

At Zremax, we have a well documented tutorial on where you can download each client, and how to set it up. In order to play on a WoW Private Server you must have a WoW Game Client for the particular version.
