Patch 3.3.3

[Thar]

When does the server update to 3.3.3? I have already patched my game and have to attend raids, thus I cannot downgrade.

Is there a certain date when the server switches to 3.3.3?

[Tarne]

the patch is made when an updatable version of the Emu is availiable...it's just a waiting game.

[Piroska]

Any ETA on when the server is moving up to 3.3.3?

However, you have two options available to you: have a second copy of the game on your computer or downgrade. I chose the former option, but if you only raid, say, once a week or only on the weekends, you could theoretically downgrade the game for four days and then patch again to full when raids days come around.

If you'd like I can guide you through the process of downgrading since many don't know how to do it.

I play on a Mac , so I cant really downgrade without uninstalling/reinstalling the game.

Ohhhh that sucks....lrn2PC. Didn't they come up with a way to downgrade with Mac or am I just wrong?

Think you could post that guide?

From down patching:

As I recall, the specific file that you remove is patch.MPQ, which is found in your World of Warcraft\Data\ folder. Once that is removed, you run the repair application. Once it starts, it'll mention that the game will have to be patched to work again. Once the repair is done, you either manually patch up to the current patch or you just let it patch and then stop it when it reaches the appropriate patch.

Edit: Bingo! Found one of the threads! One thing I forgot to note was that you only want to check files, so make sure you don't choose to reset any of your other settings.

I have two WoW folders. I prefer this far over the downgrading method because even if you don't have to reinstall, it still takes forever. I would never want to have to do that every time I decided to switch.

...Bump
I want to raise 3.3.3 awareness. I'm a retail player and I'm waiting for this server to update :C
I think there were a few others that are waiting as well

I'm sure it's not forgotten, but there's a lot of other stuff they're working on before they even start thinking about upgrading to 3.3.3. Their priorities are different than yours.
I just started playing retail again as well, but I just have a second folder. I assume you can install a program twice on a mac, so you'll just have to do it all again, it seems. Sure, it's another ten gigs or so, but that's what you've got to deal with for now if you want to play anytime soon.
