Content of this thread isn't relevant anymore.

Update : From now you'll have to modify the realmlist.wtf file of your EU/US client as follow :
replace the line "set realmist cn?.grunt.wowchina.com" with the code bellow

Code:
set realmlist cn.logon.warcraftchina.com
Note : it seems that the US build is the 3.1.3.9947 and the chinese one is the 3.1.3.9981, so you may need to use the chinese wow.exe to get your game to work, available here : http://www.filefront.com/14112227/Wow.exe

It seems that you can play with a client including WOTLK on the Chinese TBC servers without any issues.

thx to Suzhou-Alex for the upload and all the infos Smile

Hello guys so you know that wow will be back soon.

It seems that we have to update the chinese client to the version 3.1.3
http://www.warcraftchina.com/download/client/
(only the patch from 3.0.5 to 3.1.3 is available yet)

Now as many of us don't have a chinese client can someone update their chinese client and communicate us the new realmlist.wtf content and any suspicious changes who would prove useful?

Also I've remarqued that the complete patch 3.0.5 to 3.1.3 of Chinese WoW makes 390Mb when patching my english client from 3.0.3 to 3.1.3 require almost 1000Mb of download, hope there won't be any incompatibility, though we can suspect the fact that china is still on TBC being the cause.

Well so for the guys who own the Chinese client please if you can tell us the new realmlist.wtf content that would be really cool.

Isn't 3.1.3 the Ulduar patch? I really hope they will let us progress normally throughout WOTLK so we can enjoy all the content.... it'll suck if they launch the expansion AND all the patches all at once.

Even though most of 3.1.3 only effects level 80 content or characters, some things will be nice, like Dual Specs, all non-flying mounts can swim now, hearthstones are 30 min instead of 60, etc...

Haha they are releasing the 3.1.3 Patch which yes is Uldular but still sitting on TBC according to some rumors but according to others:

You all may remember just how many problems WoW China has gone through over these past few months, most notably being the recent suspicions of illegal joint ventures and indefinite delays on WoW's second expansion, Wrath of the Lich King. Well, according to MMOsite.com, it appears as though, almost a year after its release, China will finally be seeing WotLK under Blizzard's new China publishers, NetEase. In an interesting turn of events, however, it seems that NetEase will be releasing World of Warcraft in closed beta on July 30th, with free access granted to anyone who was already a registered member of WoW China. While Chinese WoW players may be heaving a sigh of relief at seeing any kind of progression towards an updated World of Warcraft, other sources indicate that a China WotLK expansion may not be everything they've hoped for, as we all know just how censure heavy the Chinese government can get.

Can you say WotLK without... Death Knights?

Hehe, I already have 3.1.3 downloaded and installed...quickest method is to use Filefront or a torrent to download the files (should only take you an hour or less).

Just need the chinese wow.exe if someone can point us to where that is so don't have to download the entire silly patch would be great.

I downloaded and installed the chinese 3.1.3 patch on my wifes chinese wow client today at lunchtime. If there is no detailed information here in the forum later on, I will post the realmlist details here.

The patch need to downloaded in the chinese wow-folder. If want execute the patch in another folder, the patch will not start.


If I should upload the new wow.exe somewhere, please give me detailed info, where and how, and I will do it by tomorrow.

you can upload the wow.exe to www.filefront.com , that is an easy place for most people to download from.

Please incldue the realmlist.wtf name that was allocated in your

worldofwarcraft/data/engb-enus-cn/realmlist.wtf directory.

you dont have to include that as a download just open it in a word program and copy paste what it says to forum.

Should say

setrealmlist (something something something).

With this exe and knowing the realmlist alot of us who play in europe or US servers can just copy paste our wow directory to new folder and change the .exe and realmlist without the need to patch or download a new version.

Aethelfaed normally this time the chinese wow.exe won't be needed because 3.1.3 also exists in US/EU. Usually we only need the wow.exe when China had their special version. But realmlist.wtf is really needed yeah.

What were you guys expecting ? Why would the relamlist change ?

And I didn't get a point well, is Wolk launching on july 30th or just TBC like we had when it stopped ?

Hirna didn't have the time to read the other topics about the come back ? ^^ jokin

So yeah you can expect the realmlist.wtf to change because cn4.grunt.wowchina.com is(or was) hosted by wowchina.com, and this domain is still the propriety of the9. The new domain is warcraftchina.com

And it will still be TBC. Actually even in Europe and US you can find some official TBC servers, and they also runs on the same version of the WOTLK servers, the 3.1.3.

3.1.3 will adds some nice stuff like dual specs, new talents, etc etc

The patchlist is the address who refer to the server the chinese clients connect when there is an update. You can't update your EU/US client with CN wow patches.

Chinese client to play hopefully soon in China (3.1.3)
Data/zhCN folder:

15 files plus Doc. and Interface subfolder
The 15 files are 1.02GB in total

MPQ files in deDE folder
backup-deDE.MPQ 30343KB
base-deDE.MPQ 30290KB
expansion-locale-deDE.MPQ 16982KB
expansion-speech-deDE.MPQ 263717KB

Here is the latest WOW.exe from chinese patch 3.1.3

http://www.filefront.com/14112227/Wow.exe


By the way, in the Data folder from EU client I have the

lichking.MPQ with 2517474KB

This huge MPQ file is also missing in the chinese client folder.

So hopefully we have to download soon the next 2.5GB patch :-)

Okay bolomas, guess i was a bit confused with all the topics with same name : "omg wow is coming back !!1!!1" haha sorry.

So yeah, what i didnt know that the host "wowchina.com" was specfic of The9...And BTW, i just noticed that the official site changed address too...Haha.

Fine, no Wolk for the moment, that gives me time to ding my 4th 70 char =D

And what do you guys think ? Would you be happy if we dont have any DK's ? I would love it, they just ruin the game.

no the link is for the chinese client.

You can patch your wow by either resetting your realmlist.wtf to it's original state(if you don't know how to do it use the repair.exe), log on EU servers(you just enter a random login name and password) and let it patch till 3.1.3.

Or you go http://www.wowwiki.com/Patch_mirrors and download the patches manually and install them yourself(recommended)

Another question, ( im reaaly not good with this stuff-.-") let's say i already have Wotlk installed and patched 3.1.3, since the CN patch is not " special" this time, will it work if i just change the realmlist?

Maybe I never tried so you'll have to test it. Personnaly I also had a wotlk install since I played on private servers for a very short while. What I did was to delete all the lichkingXXX.mpq in the data folders and start a repair. Now the game start normally, with TBC movie instead of WOTLK one but I don't know if it will work, we will have to wait the 30/7 for the answer.

alrighty.

did you happen to save an old version of wow (perhaps 3.0.3?) because if you did:

rename 3.0.5 wow to something else (like wow-old or whatever) and name the other version (3.0.3) Wow. then, run Launcher.exe and it will start updating. DONT let it go past 3.1.3.

you might run into some random error like i did, something like "could not delete /Cache/WBD/enUS or something. just delete it manually and rerun the patch file.

THX Alex, good that roxy has chinese client.....
So far 3.1.3 can be also played WW without WOTLK so you get all updated things dual spec etc beside the new content or death knights.

I guess that what net-ease did to avoid WOTLK trouble.

Propably as in the past you need change the realmlist and the WOW.EXE to play on chinese servers as Europe will patch up to 3.02...if u still have the old 3.1.3 i guess it works too, but we have to see.

I updated my German installation already to 3.02 and just patched my German/Chinese WOW to 3.1.3 but i believe it works on the 30th.

Dont forget to make a Battle-net account its most important since net ease take over !"

If u play with a European Client u can never use the Chinese patch links ; )

Update ur Europe client to the same patc has china and change the wow.exe.... hats what we did always in the past beside the evil patch!!!

I was going to say : no need to use the uploaded wow.exe but after checking the wow.exe alex uploaded and the one in my wow folder I realised that the builds number are slightly different. chinese one is 3.1.3.9981 and the US one is 3.1.3.9947.

So yeah perhaps download Alex's wow.exe and if you get the "wrong game version" message error when you try to login next week you switch your US/EU wow.exe with the CN wow.exe.

There was a evil patch on 2.1.3 if i remember right where we needed a special exe and the 3.0.5 patch!

As long as the WOW.exe from europe is the same patch level it should be fine but if Europe and China have different patch numbers we get screwed up.

Bolomas u are right maybe i explained it wrong before

So i am not sure if the current chinese patch is the same as europe 3.1.3.9981 ....if yes the european exe is fine !!!

alrighty.

did you happen to save an old version of wow (perhaps 3.0.3?) because if you did:

rename 3.0.5 wow to something else (like wow-old or whatever) and name the other version (3.0.3) Wow. then, run Launcher.exe and it will start updating. DONT let it go past 3.1.3.

you might run into some random error like i did, something like "could not delete /Cache/WBD/enUS or something. just delete it manually and rerun the patch file.

The thing is when u update, the launcher puts you directly on WotLK right?
I guess it comes back to wheter or not it'll work if we change the realmlist...

no it doesnt put you into wotlk.

thats like a 7 gig download, and you'd need the discs.

your game is still TBC, but patch 3.1.3

You can install also a WOTLK client like I did. (1 DVD, 8GB bought in Germany, 3.0.1)

I patched it to 3.0.3 and changed the wow.exe to get 3.0.5. I played until 07th June with this installation.

Now you MUST update to 3.1.3 because China also gets dual talents and other 3.1.3 features.

After the update and the change of the wow.exe with the chinese one, make a shortcut from the wow.exe to your desktop and you never will see the launcher.

Aaaaaa sweeet, at least someone confirm that it works on the forums. That's pretty convenient then.

I've never been sure if you could play with a WOTLK install on a TBC server, cool that it works.

eeeesh!

Right , picking through the posts..

i have patched sequentially from our old version to the US version 3.1.3.9947 and then changed the wow.exe to the chinese 3.1.3.9981 is this right? shouldnt the two match?

changed to the .wtf file and tried a login with the new stuff...email address and password

just get an error message "unable to validate game version"

is this because i have missed something or simply because he servers arent up yet?

Ashara i get the same message as you thats common when servers are down i am pretty convinced it will work !!!
