A Mists of Pandaria server.

Join the realm

Sign the charter

Make the account you'll log in with. You need the invite code from whoever sent you here.

Old-school WoW logins aren't strongly protected, so use a password you don't use anywhere else.

Then step through

I play on

  1. Have the 5.4.8 client

    Mists of Pandaria, version 5.4.8 (build 18414). Ask your inviter if you don't have it.

    On the Deck, copy the whole game folder anywhere in your home folder or on your SD card.

  2. Drop the launcher in your game folder

    Save it next to Wow.exe. It points your game at Ashen Skyfire, so you never type an address.

    Download “Play Ashen Skyfire.bat”

    Windows may warn you about it the first time. Choose “More info”, then “Run anyway”.

  3. Double-click it to play

    Use it every time instead of Wow.exe. Log in with the account you just made.

  4. Run the setup once in Desktop Mode

    Press the STEAM button, then Power, then Switch to Desktop. Open Konsole from the app menu, paste this line and press Enter:

    curl -fsSL https://ashenskyfire.duckdns.org/deck.sh | bash

    It finds your game folder, points it at Ashen Skyfire and offers to add WoW to your Steam library. To paste in Konsole, use Ctrl+Shift+V.

  5. Turn on Proton, then play from Game Mode

    In Steam, open the game's Properties, then Compatibility, and force Proton Experimental. Launch it and log in with the account you just made. STEAM + X brings up the keyboard.

Rather do it by hand?

Open WTF/Config.wtf in your game folder, replace the realmlist line with this one, save, and start the game:

SET realmlist "ashenskyfire.duckdns.org"
