Installing the requirements

If you don't have the client installed, you can install any new 3.3.5 WOTLK client as long as your data folder doesn't contain any custom patches from other servers.

After you've finished installing the game, you'll need our modified game launcher to avoid any GLUE XML issues that may appear when you try to log in due to the interface improvements and custom content. Download the launcher and place it near your wow.exe inside the game root folder; the launcher is simply a modified wow.exe; once you're done, launch the game using the new launcher; you can even delete the wow.exe because it's no longer needed.

Where to place the patches

Due to changes in our obligatory patch-8.mpq, setting up the realmlist is no longer necessary; the patch automatically switches the realmlist to our server's.However if you want to update it, open Data/enXX/realmlist.wtf in notepad and replace all of the content with "set realmlist logon.thoriumwow.net."
