Greetings Firestorm!
It's time to present you the new launcher we've been working on. The Firestorm launcher has been completely rebuilt, giving you a faster, easier way to download the game and a much more intuitive way to connect to our realms.
Of course, it will receive regular updates. If you find any issues, please submit a report in the bugtracker.
This new launcher lets you download, uninstall and launch the game, read news, visit community spaces like our forum, open our support pages, and even the shop!

What's new?
- Single, full-client download: The full client is now the only download option. This prevents issues caused by downloading while playing, such as corrupted partial files, mismatched versions, or confusing install paths.
- Direct access: From the menu, you'll have direct access to Firestorm's support pages (shop support, technical support, etc.), as well as to our social media, web shop, and bugtracker.
- Link old full clients: You can link any existing Firestorm full client to the new launcher however. The minimal version is not recommended in any case.
- Fixes for old clients:
- WotLK: This expansion will now be available in multiple languages.
- Cataclysm: The issue with this client is over, and it's now available in multiple languages.
- BfA: To avoid the issue with BfA client, you need to download it with this launcher. It is now fixed.
- Shadowlands: This client is now completely fixed.
Optional for Now; Transition plan
Using the new launcher is optional at this stage, for now you can still use the legacy launcher or torrent links to download every expansion, except The War Within, which is available exclusively through the new launcher.
Switching is optional at this stage, we encourage everyone to get familiar with the new launcher now, because the torrent links and legacy launcher will no longer receive updates and will eventually disappear as they will become obsolete.
Download the new Firestorm launcher today and be ready for what's next!
I understand that it had some issues and people would complain about problems that would be fixed simply by just downloading the full game but maybe it could be disabled by default and hidden somewhere in the options a way to enable it for "advanced users" or behind a popup saying that you agree to play like that and to not report issues with the game unless it's fully downloaded...
It was very useful when I was at a friends place and wanted to show them my character or to show them the server. I could very quickly download and play but now, I'd have to wait until it fully downloads :(
Great job with all the fixes anyway!
is there any GM here ?
