Nostalrius Begins - Quality wow vanilla realm (1.12)

Hi

I don't have the WDB folder at all in my WoW folder. I downloaded the client from this website, and this is obviously a problem since all the items are shown in their post 1.4 state. Is there any way to fix this?

Thanks

The WDB folder is auto-created when you log into and begin playing WoW. If it's ever deleted, it simply gets recreated and new data is downloaded from the server the next time you log into the game. Have you tried logging into a character?

(Windows Vista, 7, 8, 10): Run WoW.exe as Administrator, login to a character, exit the game. You'll see a WDB folder created.
(Linux): How are you playing without root privileges?

Thanks, running as admin worked! Although, all my ingames setting were reseted by doing so. Interesting.

All saved variables are gone because everything was either made as temp files or just hidden. Not sure of which. More of a linux guy.

Bump. While I do get the WDB folder back, I still can't see the items in their pre 1.4 state. Does not help to remove the folder.

Temp files would be the answer. Running as admin allowed the creation of proper files, which the game will now read from.

As non-admin the auto-created files and folders should appear in: C:\Users\*your account name*\AppData\Local\Virtual Store\Program Files\World of Warcraft

If you can't find it, try searching your user folder. The folder structure may differ between different versions of Windows.

You could just do
Start => Run => C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft Classic
Windows Explorer will open to that directory.

This should be the same for Vista and above as Windows 95 and XP didn't have C:\Users IIRC.
