How to Add Accounts for a Private Server for World of Warcraft
With over 10 million monthly subscribers worldwide, "World of Warcraft" has become the most popular massively multiplier online role-playing game (MMORPG). An inexpensive subscription fee has opened the game up to a larger audience, including more casual gamers, cementing "World of Warcraft" as the premier MMORPG. If you cannot afford the monthly subscription, you can play on a private server, which is a server that is run by an individual who does not work with the game's developer, Blizzard. These servers might not be the same as the regular servers, but they have most of the same features as the real game with a fraction of the players.

Tips & Warnings
Save all your realm list files in one folder so you can easily switch to whichever server you want to play on.
Not all private servers are on the same patch, so you will have to find a server that is running your patch.
