With Sethraliss, our BFA Realm upating to 8.3.7 on Monday 22nd March, you will need to update your client in order to connect! We've made it as simple as possible, continue reading for a simple tutorial.
If you want to make sure you will be able to play right when the update ships, we advise you to prepare your client in advance. With that being said, once it's updated you will lose access to the 8.2 version ! The ideal scenario is thus to copy your current client folder, and to only update the copy: that way you can keep on playing on Sethraliss until March 22nd, and your 8.3.7 client will be ready for that day !

NB: The full client downloads every game data right away: it takes longer to download and requires a soft like bittorent, but once it's done you will have the whole game ready. The minimal client is smaller, faster to download, but will then download missing datas as you're playing, slowing you down.

FOR WINDOWS:

  • You have the 8.0 or 8.2 Client and you just want to update it:
    • Download the 8.3.7 .exe here: http://fstorm.cc/837-Download (it is compressed in a .rar)
    • Open your FS BFA client folder, where your current .exe is located, place the .rar you just downloaded there, and extract it.
    • Your current .exe will be replaced (So you will no longer be able to log on 8.2) with the new one, click on it and you're on!
       
  • You are using the launcher:
    • Just restart your launcher once the 8.3.7 update is applied on Sethraliss: it will download the missing files for you.
       
  • You don't have the game yet, and want to start playing on 8.3.7

 

Please note: The first time you will open the 8.3.7 client, if it wasn't downloaded from the full torrent nor by the launcher, it will take a bit of time (between 2-5 minutes) to download the missing files, but in the meantime nothing will appear on your screen, that's normal ! Do not open it 43 times, just once and then wait a bit. Once it's done, you will be fully set up!

 

FOR MAC:

  • You want to download the full torrent. If you proceed that way, you will still need to then download the minimal client. The streamed data will obviously be lower, but only the minimal client contains the .app
  • You prefer to download the minimal client: http://fstorm.cc/837-MAC-Download

    In both cases, you will need to do those following steps in order to be able to play:
    • If you have downloaded the full torrent, unzip it in a folder we will call "WOW FS BFA". Then, extract the .zip from the minimal MAC client inside it.
    • If you downloaded the minimal client only, extract the .zip into a folder we will call "WOW FS BFA"
    • Open a terminal, and place it inside the WOW FS BFA folder
    • Type the following command in the terminal: sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine ./World\ of\ Warcraft.app 
    • Launch World of Warcraft, you're good to go!
