Hello,

It's coming to the end of the Public Test Realm (7.3.5), which announces the official release of patch 7.3.5 exclusively on Firestorm on Monday, May 7th, 2018! We have received a lot of feedback from you, and we appreciate you for it! Your feedback helped us expedite the progress on development and corrected the problems you've encountered during the test.

You will be given several ways to update your game to the latest version, and we recommend you download the full game before joining the server (Ref: Method #1). If you're reinstalling your game, you may want to back up your addons configurations, macros, etc. refer to the ending spot of the guide.

Important Note: There is two addons included in the file archive called "Firestorm" and "GMTickets" they will have to stay permanently activated in order to make requests in-game. These are used for features such as the Recruit-a-Friend and other features in the future, they're required.

Method #1 (You don't have the game installed, you can do either of the options below):

• A. Download from the Firestorm Torrent:
  • Download the full torrent game from our website (You will need a torrent client installed i.e; µTorrent, BitTorrent, or Deluge).
  • Once the download is completed (52 GB), move the folder named "World of Warcraft 7.3.5 Full - Firestorm" to the directory where you want to install the game (avoid leaving it in the download folder to avoid any problems).
    • Windows: Extract the client to your game directory and start the game from the "Firestorm.exe" executable.
    • MacOS: You will need to extract the Firestorm_Mac archive to your game directory. Once that is done run the "Firestorm_Mac.app" and you should be able to play.
  • A window will appear asking you to choose the language you wish to play with (the default is your operating system language) then your game will launch normally. Next all you do is login with your Firestorm credentials.

• B. Download from Blizzard (Battle.net):
  • Create a Battle.net Account here.
  • Download the Blizzard Launcher and Full Game.
  • Once everything is installed, simply replace the files with the ones provided here or alternatively use the Firestorm Launcher to patch the files.
    • Windows: Extract the client to your game directory and start the game from the "Firestorm.exe" executable.
    • MacOS: You will need to extract the Firestorm_Mac archive to your game directory. Once that is done run the "Firestorm_Mac.app" and you should be able to play.

Method #2 (You don't have the game and wish to download it as fast as possible):

• If you don't have the game installed, place the files in a new blank folder and run the executable in administrator mode. This will download your game while your playing. The initial game launching will be very slow, and it will take between 15 and 30 minutes before you can play with your character, as the game is downloading the basic files. Remember that you will have lag, longer loading times, and potentially high ping depending on the speed of your internet connection. We do not recommend this method at all.
  • Windows: Extract the client to your game directory and start the game from the "Firestorm.exe" executable.
  • MacOS: You will need to extract the Firestorm_Mac archive to your another folder. Once that is done run the "Firestorm_Mac.app" and you should be able to play.

Method #3 (You already have the game with Firestorm Launcher):

• Launch and login into the Firestorm Launcher.
• Click on the Legion, an update to your game will be done automatically. When it's done press the "Play" button and wait a few minutes.
• The initial game launching will be very slow, and it will take between 15 and 30 minutes before you can play with your character, as the game is downloading the basic files. Remember that you will have lag, longer loading times, and potentially high ping depending on the speed of your internet connection (This is downloading files for 7.3.5 - roughly 6GB). As well you will be prompted to select your language on launch.

Method #4 (You already have the game without Firestorm Launcher):

• Download the minimal client available here, then extract the files inside the archive to your game existing game directory, and then run the executable. Wait for it to download the files (missing files about 6 GB).
  • Windows: Extract the files to your existing game directory. Once that is completed run the executable Firestorm.exe or "Firestorm-64.exe" to play.
  • MacOS: You will need to extract the Firestorm_Mac archive to existing game directory. Once that is done run the "Firestorm_Mac.app" and you should be able to play.
