Will polish the guide later, but basic instructions are these:
Connection Guide:
1. Download the client:
3. To avoid some errors in the future, right click on your downloaded WoW folder and uncheck Read-only. Accept prompt (if it shows) when asked if you want to apply it to files and sub-folders.
3.b (Optional) Rename successfully downloaded WoD_6_2_4_21742/ directory to FreedomWoW6/ directory for better clarity.
[VERSION: FreedomEssentialsPatch_20160813]
4. Download (Click down-arrow at the top of the page) latest https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5mIUW...Gpuc284VVk and unzip its contents into your WoD_6_2_4_21742/ directory (or FreedomWoW6/ directory if you renamed it), saying yes to any prompt about overwriting existing items.
4.b (optional) If you want 64-bit launcher, download it here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5mIUW...2MtcnU3ZHc
5. Make sure you have FreedomWoW.exe and tc_bundle.txt in your WoW root folder after .7z extraction.
6. Make sure to rename Config.template.wtf to Config.wtf under (WoW root directory)/WTF/ directory and just to be safe: make sure it has portal set to logon.wowfreedom-rp.com (e.g. SET portal "logon.wowfreedom-rp.com"). By default the portal setting should be like that already. LOTS OF PEOPLE SCREW THIS RENAMING STEP UP (or ignored it) - so once again: make sure to rename Config.template.wtf to Config.wtf (for those who do not have their extensions set to hidden will have to rename Config.template to Config.
7. Create a short-cut for launcher:
(Due to DB changes we must now make a shortcut for the client in order to launch Freedom)
Troubleshooting Edit: Depending on your windows OS, you may have quotations. Try adding it on the outside (Ex: FreedomWoW.exe" --uid wow_enus). If that doesn't work, then try removing the quotations.
8. Launch your SHORTCUT FreedomWoW.exe and connect to Freedom WoD using account you created on the website (in-game username format: <EMAIL email="[email protected]">[email protected]</EMAIL>).
