Here is a very important topic for those who can't speak Chinese.

Once the game is installed in English, and updated in your language( you don't need any account, just launch the game with any fake account name and it will update by itself) , you just need to modify realmlist.wtf at the root of the WoW file. Just switch the name with the name of the Chinese realm:

"cn1.grunt.wowchina.com"

The european name is
"eu.logon.worldofwarcraft.com"
check it out to be sure it's the same. AND please, DO NOT LOSE IT


If you lose it, you will not be able anymore to update the game in English... and thus won't be able to play with the Chinese realm...

If you have done all of this properly, you can now enter your real account name and enjoy your game!!!

Thank you Dymé for these very precious informations!!!

Your only problem will be that you won't be able to see the Chinese name of the Chinese players... But they can speak English.............
But still, if you speak CHinese, try to take the Chinese version, it will be easier for you!!!

Et si on a WoW en Chinois, achete en chinois, installe en chinois, bref tout en chinois...

Y a moyen d'installer un patch sur la version chinoise pour jouer en anglais ou francais ?

And if you got WoW in Chinese, bought in Chinese, installed in Chinese...in short everything is in Chinese...

Is there a way to install some kind of patch on the Chinese version to change the language?

well if you have a everything in Chinese and nothing in French or English, well, I guess no... You can't have anything in other languages except Chinese... Well, at least we didnt fin any solution for that.
The only thing you could do is play in Chinese on French realm I guess, so it would mean paying a monthly fee...

une question mais si on a le jeux francais et que on
instale le pach en francais et on ecri dans le ramlist
cn1.grunt.wowchina.com et ensuite on ecri notre comte en chinos dans le jeux sa va marcher eu

Oui oui c'est exactement ca !

que faire

m repondez

j'ai pas trop compris ton probleme en fait...mais c'est peut etre ca :

quand tu patchs, tu laisses forcement le realm original (euro ou us). quand c'est termine, tu changes, et tu mets ca cn1.grunt.wowchina.com

tu lances le jeux, tu rentres tes identifients et ca marche...si il te manque un patch, il te le dit...si c'est pas le bon pass, il te le dis...easy quoi...

en fait le plus dur est de s'enregistrer sur le site wow china, tu l'as fais ca ??

je rentre dans le jeux et je ecri l identite sa fait sa

1.Version Française
Donc je sais comment faire pour jouer, comme en France il y a 3 misses a jour et en chine 2 mise a jour donc vous devait télecharger que 2 misses a jour avec votre jeux français ou anglais, en suit vous devait mètre sa cn1.grunt.wowchina.com dans le realmlist attention si vous voulez jouer a shangai vous devait maître sa cn1.grunt.wowchina.com dans votre reamlis es si vous voulez jouer a pékin c est sa cn2.grunt.wowchina.com .
2.version Anglaise
Thus I know how to make to play, as in France there are 3 updated and in China 2 update thus owed you download that 2 updated with your French or English plays, follows from there owed you meter his cn1.grunt.wowchina.com in the realmlist attention if you want to play has shangai owed you main his cn1.grunt.wowchina.com in your reamlis are if you want to play has Peking C is his cn2.grunt.wowchina.com .



oui je sais je suis pas tres bon en anglais ni en francais

Wow
I think someone had same problem as I have. But because I don't speak french I don't understand the replys. I have a same problem "Imposible de valider la version or interferience with other program". If does any one found solution for this please, please let me know.

ganaat, the posts are quite old and there have been patches.
would you please state your problem and then i can help you for sure. this is a real simple thing to setup wow actually. you just need to get it right.

Here's an interesting question... I just installed the Chinese client so I could start playing. Why does it give you a language option before you install? You can select English or Chinese, so I selected English, but it did absolutely nothing. The entire game is in Chinese. Why is that even there?

It's for the sound. All the voices are in English in your game now.
You can change that by downloading a patch on the official website.

And gratz, you're playing in Chinese! Welcome to the world of hard core burned head waiguo ren!! You're gonna join the Shanghai guild Cow Eaters right?

Yes! I'm planning on joining the Cow Eaters! Here's my only issue though! I've been a die hard Horde player, and I figured I'd try out some Alliance characters because it will be like a new game for me. I'm just not familiar with any of the Alliance quests for any class! I can do most of the Horde starting quests without even having to know any Chinese, but for the Alliance... Well, might take me a bit until I can get my English version working. (Or even a French version! I can read French quite well which is a bonus for me on this forum!) I made a Horde character just to get a feel for how it the game is in Chinese because I know the quests, but I think I can pull off an Alliance... Willing to try anyway! So that brings me to my next question:

I'm pretty familiar with most classes in the game (except Paladins, which I refuse to play on principle...LOL), so does the guild need any class in particular? Is there a shortage of anything?

well...... check here : https://wow-in-chinese.forum2jeux.com/General-f1/Cow-Eaters-Who-s-there-update-12-April-07-t58.htm

I'd say we need a mage or a priest. And we have enough paladins don't worry ^^. But it will always be up to you. Tell us when you get your new born in maduolan ( https://wow-in-chinese.forum2jeux.com/Shanghai-1997828023-1-Maduolan-295952281020848-PVE-Alliance-The-Cow-Eaters-c1/Characters-Introduction-f6.htm ).

And tell us if you can manage the Chinese version.
good luck!!!!

Ok, so I decided on a mage for now, namely because I'm more familiar with the spells and the talent tree. I have a 60 mage back in the States and a 60 hunter. I'll probably start out a priest once I get the English client working, because I want to try that out a bit more. I have one, but only level 16, so for playing in Chinese, I think hunter or mage because I know them well. Check the other post I was forwarded to for character information, and I'll see you in game!

hmm what if the chinese version is not the same version as the english version it doesn't work anymore..

we've found a solution for the 1.13 patch (https://wow-in-chinese.forum2jeux.com/News-Patch-f4.htm). but All the servers are being upgraded right now. We'll see what new problem arise with this new version. But we can play with different versions.

I managed to get the reload card, sign up for an account on the chinese server, download the chinese client and let it get patched. But I am having trouble finding the earlier version of the English client to download or even buy. All I can get is 2.0 and above. Is there anywhere to download the 1.10 English client now, May 2007? All the links I have found now point to the later client.

yes it will be hard and more hard to find this fking old client ! tell me where are you now, if you are in shanghai i could give it to you, let's present yourself and tell us where are you from.
my old torrent sources are not seeded now, that's uber suxx. Maybe we could find a way to upload the us version of this old client on our website... let's admin check it, then ! it will be the end !! lol need TBC now !! booyaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

i think the old client is way too big to upload it on a free web service... You could try something like file share or other, but i still think it wouldnt be the greatest.

In my opinion, the best way would be to make a clean up to date intall, compress it good and upload it into a server one of you guys own.

Then, the install could be as easy as: DL the zipped file, uncompress it, click and enjoy

good solution.
now who will host 6GB+ and has enough bandwidth so people dont need to download for 15 days?
i say the approch of a clean / good install is fine (add a batch file [.bat] for when next patch comes out, to remove the replaced files for 1.12.3).
but best should be either by people in same city, or by mail.
easiest, fasts.
24h service. ^^

Thanks for your suggestions and sympathies. I'm in the US, so a handoff in Shanghai would be difficult :-)

I have a website with plenty of space, but no bittorrent.

I have only played the 10-day trial, and I won't be able to use that character when/if I manage to get onto chinese servers, but it is a level 15 mage. The name is something like Rementime - I can't get back on to check.

The reason I want to play on Chinese servers is to save money, and not to feel pressure to play a lot of hours to "get my money's worth". That just seems like a recipe for addiction!

Can somebody tell me what this says?:

This is where I am currently stuck trying to get my Chinese client to work. I have had great success using machine (online) translation to figure out what I need to know. In fact, it has made me enthusiastic to start learning to read Chinese!

Hi lindahardesty,

the picture you showed says: your account name or password is wrong, or your account may be locked or stolen. Please visit the "account management" website to unlock it. If you find your account is stolen, please lock your account at once to reduce your loss.



if u didn't know what is "locker" in CWOW, i think your account was stolen.....

Yes, I am pretty clueless. What is a "locker"?

I tried the account management page. I guess I didn't notice or write down my account number with The 9. I don't suppose it is the same as the number on the reload card is it?

sorry for the late answer.
Blizzard reserves itself the right to lock your account, or if you prefer, to close it.
Apparently it has been locked normally after the trial time. I've never encoutered that case before (unlock account after trial in Chinese), and according to what you say, you don't seem to be speaking Chinese.

So I have 2 choices for you: you can trust 1 of us by giving him your account name and pass so that we can unlock the account for you (at least try to).

Or if you don't even remember that, you can just create a new account, a 15 level character can be done again in no time if you worry about that.

Thanks! I have sent you a separate email with some info.

My English 2.1.2 client is now successfully connecting with cn1.grunt.wowchina.com!

It is only giving me the choice of "united states" for location, and when I choose that, it gives me no realms to choose from.

But, it is still the first day.

this means they are updating for the moment. The servers are not online yet. They should be opened around 18H00 tonight according to some dood i spoke with on MSN

lindahardesty
Did u change anything besides realmlist?
Did u use u old account or did u just created new one?
and what is u version? 2.1.2(6803)?

what hapened to landha is normal. It's just like when it's OK but server is still down as they announced

Deadanus,
But I have different problem. I'm not connecting at all. Message is: pass and user is incorrect. If I had connected without reallist I woul understand but pass is incorrect...?

after u update it changes the realmlist back to us.logon....u have to change the first line back to cn1.grunt.wowchina.com...i hope that helps

Nope, it didn't change back.
i have account in cn1. and cn2 and both of them have same problem. I just don't uderstand where I'm making mistake

What do u mean by change first line?

crap, dunno wats up then. sorry

What do u mean by first line? Did you change the second line?

This is wat my realmlist folder looks like after updating:

set realmlist cn6.grunt.wowchina.com
set patchlist us.version.worldofwarcraft.com

Thank mate!
It worked. I logged to realm list page now. Nothing there yet but its working. Great!!!

np

I used the same account that worked for v1.2.1.
Version is 2.1.2 (6803).
Nothing changed except realmlist.

Checked it again just now - 7:43 PM Shanghai time, Tue, 6/26, and still no realms. Will try again at 11 pm.

>Did u change anything besides realmlist?
>Did u use u old account or did u just created new one?
>and what is u version? 2.1.2(6803)?

I followed the instructions, and I chose:
cn5.grunt.wowchina.com

Once I login, it asks me to choose a realm. I can only select "United States" and then the realm list is empty. What am I doing wrong? Please help me somone.

man~ after reading those lines above:

""Your only problem will be that you won't be able to see the Chinese name of the Chinese players... But they can speak English.............
But still, if you speak CHinese, try to take the Chinese version, it will be easier for you!!!
""
I'd better use my sucking-asx-patched the9 version of CWOW 2.1.x

Yo!

To see Chinese characters in-game with a non Chinese version of WoW I just use one Addon. It's no more complex than that.

I'll give a link in a while, but you can still go there first, here in the forum
