Hello

Today i am going to show you / tell you how to depatch wow.


Follow these simple steps:
1. Open your wow folder "World of Warcraft"
2. Open the folder "data" in your WoW folder.
3. You'll see a couple of MPQ files, find the one called Patch.MPQ
4. delete Patch.MPQ
5. Enter the root folder again called "World of Warcraft" there is a program called Repair.exe click on that and choose "Reset and check files"

The repair.exe program will tell you wow is broken and it needs to depatch, then when its done repairing then your on patch 3.0.0 then you just have to patch up again to the patch you need.

P.S if you need a lower patch like 2.4.3 then google wow repair and find a old version of the program like 2.0.0 then your gonna get on patch 2.0.0.
