Iserle Launcher: play on the Iserle test realm with WoW: Forever
================================================================

You need
--------
1. The WoW: Forever beta installed through the Battle.net app, client build 1.60.1.70170.
   (Iserle doesn't ship any game files: it uses the game you already have.)
2. An Iserle account: https://iserle.cosmicowl.net/register
   Registration needs the invite code you got from the realm owner.
   Use a NEW password, not your Blizzard password.

Play
----
1. Unzip this folder anywhere (Desktop, Documents...).
2. Double-click IserleLauncher.exe.
   Windows may show "Windows protected your PC", because the launcher isn't code-signed:
   click "More info", then "Run anyway".
3. First start only: if the launcher can't find the game, drag WowB.exe from
   ...\World of Warcraft\_classic_beta_\ into the launcher window and press Enter.
4. The game opens. Log in with your Iserle email and password.
5. Keep the launcher window open while you play. It closes by itself when the game exits.

Starting the game from the Battle.net app still takes you to Blizzard's beta as usual.
Only the launcher connects it to Iserle.

What the launcher does (and nothing else)
-----------------------------------------
- Creates WTF\iserle.wtf in the game folder (a copy of your Config.wtf that points the game at iserle.cosmicowl.net).
  Your Config.wtf and your settings stay untouched.
- Starts WowB.exe -config iserle.wtf.
- Swaps one public key in the running game's memory (never on disk) so the game accepts the
  Iserle server's encryption handshake.
- No installation, no admin rights. It checks once that the server is reachable before starting the game.
To remove it: delete this folder and WTF\iserle.wtf in the game folder.

Good to know
------------
- When Blizzard updates the beta, the launcher refuses to start ("Your WoW: Forever beta is build ...")
  until Iserle supports the new build. Then download the new launcher from https://iserle.cosmicowl.net/
- Antivirus programs may flag the launcher, because changing another program's memory is also what
  cheats do. It's a small program made by the realm owner. Ask them if in doubt.
- While you play, the game may still contact Blizzard services in the background, as it always does.
  Your Iserle login only ever goes to the Iserle server.
- Realm status: https://iserle.cosmicowl.net/status

Problems?
---------
Send the realm owner:
- iserle-launcher.log (next to IserleLauncher.exe)
- the game's Logs folder (World of Warcraft\_classic_beta_\Logs)
and say what you did and what you saw.
