How To Connect

First, in your World of Warcraft folder, which is usually located in C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft - find your "realmlist.wtf file" - open it as a notepad/wordpad
it should have the following
US Players
set realmlist us.logon.worldofwarcraft.com
set patchlist us.version.worldofwarcraft.com

EU Players
set realmlist eu.logon.worldofwarcraft.com
set patchlist eu.version.worldofwarcraft.com

What you do is modify that file, simply change the original into this:
US Players
#set realmlist gladiatorwow.malware-site.www
#set patchlist us.version.worldofwarcraft.com


EU Players
#set realmlist gladiatorwow.malware-site.www
#set patchlist eu.version.worldofwarcraft.com


The "#" tells the notepad or wordpad not to include this line, it is commonly used for players that play both retail and private servers, because now to switch back and forth, all they need to do is remove the "#"'s and the "set realmlist us.logon.worldofwarcraft.com" - and your back on retail.
