Choose ONE method below to install and play:
1. Manual Setup -> Recommended (faster downloads)
2. Launcher Setup -> Easier, but currently slower
Manual Setup (Download & Patch Yourself)
Step 1 - Register an Account: here
Step 2 - Download Game Files: here
Download Options Explained
All-In-One Patches: Includes all required patches except Patch Z.
Mond-WoW Client: Includes the base game client, custom WoW.exe, Launcher, and all patches except Patch Z. Fastest and easiest option - only Patch Z is required separately.
Individual Files: Download patches (patch-4 to patch-Z), the Launcher, and WoW.exe separately for manual setup.
Step 3 - Install the Files
Move all patch files into your WoW/Data folder (Example: E:/wow/Data)
Extract the Mond-WoW Launcher into another folder than your main WoW folder (Example: E:/Launcher)
Step 4 - Run WoW.exe
Run the new WoW.exe once to allow it through Windows Defender
Once allowed, you are ready to play

Launcher Setup (Recommended / Auto-Update Method)
(Launcher is slow - Manual way to download is recommended for now)
Step 1 - Register an Account: here
Step 2 - Download Game Files: here
Step 3 - Install the Launcher
Extract the Mond-WoW Launcher into another folder than your main WoW folder (Example: E:/Launcher)
Step 4 - Update Using the Launcher
Open the Mond-WoW Launcher
Click Select Game Folder and choose your main WoW folder
Do NOT select the Data folder
Under Verify Version, select Only Updates
Click Check for Update
When ready, click Update
Step 5 - Start Playing
Click Play in the launcher. The game will launch and connect automatically.
Optional - Full Game Download via Launcher
Change Verify Version from Only Updates to Full Game
The launcher will automatically download the entire game client
If you have the base client keep it on Only Updates so it only downloads the custom files.
