alright thank you everyone for the help. appreciate it alot

and if i get confused or stressed out about not being able to restore it to retail WoW. as an emergancy, could i simply just uninstall WoW and reinstall WoW and it would back to normal on retail WoW?

so basically the IceCold-WoW launcher you install is just a patch called custom items, its not accutally a different/seperate launcher from retail WoW launcher correct? and so when you switch from IceCold-WoW to retail WoW, you delete Cache and IceCold.exe correct? so if i later decide to switch from retail to IceCold-WoW again, what would i all have to do inorder to play again?

alright and a family member was wondering, he asked me if you install the launcher and all if does is put in a patch and switch the realmlist, then when you decide to switch back to playing retail WoW. what happens to the launcher? does it delete its self once you change the realmlist? and if you add the custom items patch for the private server, where is that stored and how does it not effect the retail WoW when you change the realmlist back?

dumb question but i figured why not, what does the custom item patch basically do?

About 2 years ago, i use to play on a private server back when they only supported WotLK 3.3.5 and i remember from back then that all you had to do was change the realmlist and right away you were in the private server and to change it back to retail WoW all you had to do is switch it back and you could play retail like nothing was ever changed. So my question is why is different in cata supported private servers than it was in WotLK supported servers a couple years ago, and now having to download a launcher now inorder to play instead of the classic switch the realmlist back and forth whenever you wanted to play between retail and private? sorry for all of the question posts, i just wanna make sure i got my facts straight before i decide to switch anything around.

alright a question that goes along with that, i use to play on a private server back when they only supported WotLK 3.3.5 and i remember from back then that all you did was change the realmlist and right away you were in the private server and all you had to do is switch it back and you could play retail like nothing was ever changed. So my question to you is why is different in cata than WotLK and you have to download a launcher now?

and to switch from IceCold to Retail, all you do is change the realmlist. that is all you change?

tirionl, you are amazing. thank you for all of the help. i appreciate all of the help you have gave me

I have a question about the server launcher that you have to install inorder to play IceCold-WoW. My question is what does he launcher do the the files in retail WoW? Also i was wondering why you would have to install a different launcher if all it does is change the realmlist? i dont know if im misunderstanding anything but id like to have a game master help me understand what the launcher you install does to the files in your retail WoW and how if could potentually effect my game play on retail WoW. Please and Thank You

And again from my understanding the server does support 4.2.2?

alrighty thank you very much, i appreciate the help

I have watched videos online about this server and im convinced. the only question that is haunting me is if you download the launcher for this server, will it effect the retail WoW launcher and your ability to play retail WoW??? thanks.
