So I downloaded the classic one thinking it would work for ACTUAL classic, not just vanilla 1.12 private servers. Is there a guide for how to do this on Classic WoW LIVE servers? The game no longer uses MPQ files so it might be a bit harder to do. But the files already exist in current retail. Does ANYONE know how, or where to find information on this?
