Well here's the scoop.

Me and a good friend, we used to play a different game together. I found out she's quitting that game, so I think "Hey, let's get her addicted to WoW like the millions of other zombies out there!"

So we try, and we download the trial. I am from Canada and she is in the UK.

However.

She cannot see any realms on the US realmlist (Downloaded from the 10 day free trial FROM the US site, not the EU site).

Now, you may say "oh thats cause she's EU"

But, I got the realmlist.wtf and had her edit it with the EU realmlist in it and she still gets nothing
(Wheras I downloaded the trial, brung up the realmlist.wtf and replaced the US info with the EU info and could connect to the EU realms perfectly fine.)

She loads up, puts in her trial account info, and gets an empty realmlist. On the US one she can't see oceanic (Too far I presume) but sees one.

On the EU realmlist she cannot see anything after she chooses english and what not. (And hits suggest realm).

No errors pop up, just a blank realmlist.

Any suggestions?

And no, this isnt 'just now' This has been for a few days. Whilst i've been able to see US and EU realms on the same hardware.

Thanks <3

Syrothe,

Make sure her realmlist.wtf has only the following information:
set realmlist us.logon.worldofwarcraft.com
set patchlist us.version.worldofwarcraft.com


Is she using Vista?

Sorry to double post, but I would like to say I am not SURE if it is against the rules to play US when you are indeed EU, I know of a few people who do it, but even if that is the case, i'd just like to set her up on the EU realms...
Provided she can see them, choose them, and what not...
Uploading a few pics to main post ina sec.

She is using windows XP. Just asked her via MSN. She says, and I quote exactly:

says:
set realmlist eu.logon.worldofwarcraft.com
set patchlist eu.version.worldofwarcraft.com


Here are the two pics I spoke of above:

Just a few pics of her configuration? Or .. Somethin? I dunno.

I really hope she can start to play, plus that means more bucks for you guys right? xD

BTW, superb response time! If only the GM's in game were that quick...

Anywho, thanks for the time taken to review my topic :)

EDIT: I had her update it from US to EU cause I thought that could be the problem.

-.- Fine i'll have her switch back to US realms, I don't wanna go through loops and over hurdles man, I just want some help.

Her realmlist now looks as such:

set realmlist us.logon.worldofwarcraft.com
set patchlist us.version.worldofwarcraft.com


EDIT: She even disabled all firewalls (IF that would make a diff)
She had Mcafee, AVG and Zone Alarm

EDIT2: If you can't help, please be strait forward >.< Im saying that so I don't spend hours waiting on a reply that won't come :-P
Like right now im refreshing the page every minute or so. :P

Oh, Oh, I don't know if this makes a difference but she IS using a skin of Vista+Mac in one? Something like that she said. I dunno.

XP with a Vista Theme she just said.
Could that do anything?

Pic of her desktop to give eyes to words:

Something i'd like to add. Or question really.

My other friend, she tries to DL the game off the same site (The 10 day trial one) and it asks for like 3 Gigs of DL.
Yet me and this friend (To make it less confusing, lets call her Mandy), mandy, downloaded the same way she did and our trial download was almost instant. And it was like only 4.5 mb?

I dunno. It's just quite odd. Works for me however, mandy is the only one having the problem here connecting to any Realmlist.

Syrothe,

Did she create a trial account for the North American realms or Europe?

Try having her use the repair tool. The Repair.exe should be located in your World of Warcraft directory (example C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Repair.exe).

If this file is not present you can download the latest version at: http://ftp.blizzard.com/pub/WoW/other/Repair.zip Be sure to unzip the file into your World of Warcraft directory and run it from there.

If this is against the rules, sorry, but I created BOTH trial accounts for her. Initially the US one, then when we decided to try EU i also created one for her.

And okay, i'll do that.

EDIT: When installing WoW it asked us for a directory, i think we both chose the Non-Program Files way ?

I personally found NO repair, and neither did she. Im zipping mine and sending it to her now (Since I owned the game previousely)
I found no repair in the WoW folder on my desktop that it was installed to...
That is.
=/

Her WOW Directory is in 'My Documents' >.> Odd it wouldn't plant itself in Program Files?

We're going through Add and Remove Programs right now to Un-Install and re-install...
But any idea so far?

It looks like an uninstall and reinstall would be a good idea at this point.

She can download WoW from here:

Question.

The first time she DL'd it it was instantaneous. Now she's DLing 3.5gigs or something.

Was the first DL just some freak of nature?

She may have just downloaded the Blizzard Downloader or partial trial download.
