Ok, as u all most likely know, blizzard has taken away the downgrading method using the Blizzard Repair, what i want to know is, how do i downgrade WoW without reinstalling it, i have lost my CD's and no one i know knows how to downgrade it.... any tips on how to do this would be awesome....

delete patch.mpq from ur folder and downpatch easy

how am i supposed to go to an earlier patch tho, if u delete it nothing happens, ive tried it b4

still works for me

well then what do u mean by downpatch it, how do i do that

go to ur wow data folder and delete patch.mpq , patch1.mpq and possible more patchXXX.mpq and voila back at 1.0.0


Have fun on ye private server

i just tried it, and it didnt work, when i went to play WoW after deleting it, it's as if i never deleted it and it stayed playing

b4 u do this try making a copy of ur whole folder or wat u r deleting delete like ur all ur data and stuff and all those things required to play and hope it works

This doesn't work if you have the 2.X patch.. You just go back to 2.0 and not 1.0.. I just tried it a few days ago... I found away to do in on an EMU site awhile back and ill try to find it, but as far as i know that method is not longer working..

That would be great if u could find it tripp, greatly appreciated and thank you in advanced

Here is a very simple way of downgrading to 1.0, no repair needed.

Steps
---------------------

Step 1) Go to your World of Warcraft Directory (Normally C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft)
Step 2) Go to The Data Folder (C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Data)
Step 3) Delete These Files: patch.mpq, patch-2.mpq, patch-3.mpq (If patch 2 or 3 aren't there, that's fine)
Step 4) Place this in your WoW directory (Step 1): http://www.megaupload.com/?d=Q0014FUL
Step 5) Replace that wow.exe with your current one

---------------------

Your done, now you may patch.

I uploaded that wow.exe, Its just from the base.mpq (In your data folder) which I extracted with winmpq.

Please when copying this guide, please leave who wrote it and from what site.


--------------------

I realize that this is a c+p but if i could get hit up with some points that would be hot..

Tripped

EDIT: Fixed link

EDIT: Another Mirror
http://files.filefront.com/WoWexe/;5548 ... einfo.html

when i click on the link it gives me a file not found error type of thing

the patches say what number they are you can always delete down to what you want.

Edited my post to fix the link and added another mirror!

Trippedandfell i did that and it said i needed to reinstall divxdecoder or something wtf?
