How to play

1. What you need

• A Windows PC and the Battle.net app, with WoW: Forever installed. Versions 1.60.1.70790, 70862 o 70888 work; below you can see which ones each realm takes.
• A Iserle account (create it here). It's separate from your Battle.net account.
• The Iserle launcher, on the Download page. It has no game files: it opens your own installation and connects it to this server.

2. Installing WoW: Forever

WoW: Forever installs from the official Battle.net app, like the other versions of World of Warcraft:

1. Install the Battle.net app if you don't have it yet, and sign in with your Battle.net account.
2. In the app pick World of Warcraft and, under Game Version, pick World of Warcraft: Forever.
3. Click Install, pick a folder and wait for the download to finish.
4. To play on Iserle, don't start the game from Battle.net: start it with the launcher (step 3).

Did you play the beta? It has closed. Install WoW: Forever and download the launcher again: the new one looks for the game in the _forever_ folder.

3. Getting into the game

1. Unzip the launcher anywhere and double-click IserleLauncher.exe. Since it isn't signed, Windows may show a warning. Choose More info and then Run anyway.
2. If it can't find the game, it asks you to pick Wow.exe (in World of Warcraft\_forever_, not the one in _retail_). The first time it puts an Iserle shortcut with the game's icon on your desktop, which opens it in one double-click.
3. Press Play in the launcher and, in the game, log in with the email and password of your Iserle account. While you play, the launcher waits next to the Windows clock: keep it open.
4. Choose the rules (explained below) and create your character.

4. The realms

The game has no realm list. Which realm you reach depends on the rules you choose when you log in.

• Normal is the main realm.
• PvP takes you to the test realm. Changes arrive there first, so it may break more and restart more often. Outside the cities you can attack the other faction, and they can attack you.
• When you log in, the game takes you to the last realm you played on. To switch, use the rules button on the character screen.
• We announce realm restarts in the game chat first.

5. If something goes wrong

You will still find bugs. Every report helps us fix them.

• Before reporting, check the known issues in the patch notes.
• Post the bug in the #reportar-errores channel on the Discord. Say what happened and what you expected, on which realm, with which character, in which zone and how to repeat it.
• If a bug gives an advantage (gold, items, experience), report it instead of using it.
• If your character gets stuck, My account can send it to its start point (it must be offline).
• If you can't get in, ask in the help channel on the Discord.

6. Your experience rate

Each character picks how much experience it earns, from x1 (normal) to x3. It counts for kills, quests and the zones you discover. It starts at x1.

• In game, type .xp 2 (or .xp 1.5, .xp 3...). .xp alone shows yours and that of the player you have selected.
• You can also change it in My account, with the character offline.
• You can change it any time. Every character's rate shows in the Armory and in the list of who's online.

7. Getting along

Iserle is run by a few volunteers, as a non-profit. Be kind to people in chat and on the Discord, and give newcomers a hand.

On the Discord we announce restarts and post the patch notes. You can also ask for help or find a group and a guild.

Your Iserle account and your Battle.net account are separate. We will never ask for your Battle.net details.
