Realm: Netherwing Cannot connect with TBC or MOP clients

[ALRobbins]

Hello all, I am having trouble connecting on both clients.

On TBC, I can successfully log in and see the realm selection pane, where I can select Netherwing or the PTR. If I select either, I get this:

 

In MOP, I cannot get past the login.  I instantly get:

 

I emphasize 'instantly' because it doesn't seem like it's doing any check at all, especially any check over the network, it has just already 'decided' to block with that error. Why could this be?

 

For MOP, here is the config.wtf:

 

SET realmlist "logon.stormforge.gg”

fourth, for mop try to launch different wow.exe
 

[ALRobbins]

The TBC client was downloaded from Stormforge. The account is verified.

I am trying to connect from Cambodia. Are IPs from Asia blocked?

 

[ALRobbins]

I am able to connect to Smolderforge (a now-dead TBC server) with the TBC client, but not Stormforge's Netherwing. 

I am able to connect to Tauriwow with the MOP client, but cannot even log in for Stormforge. 

[Aithne]

Try a VPN then.

no they're not blocked, try to use VPN like Aithne said

[ALRobbins]

Tried VPN, did not work

[ALRobbins]

If it matters, I'm using the Mac clients.

[ALRobbins]

I've also tried various .mfils, including trying modified read-only versions (for MOP).

[ALRobbins]

The MOP client was from Tauri, if that matters.

you tried to launch different wow.exe ? and make sure you're not using tauri launcher

Mac users are required to use Wine (or similar programs), the regular mac client won't work.

[ALRobbins]

that is... unfortunate

To play Mists of Pandaria on Mac, follow this guide:  https://community.tauriwow.com/index.php?/topic/3337/ Please note that Macs can be finicky, and you might still be better off using the Windows version via Wineskin.

[ALRobbins]

I have already followed that guide. It runs just fine, same with the 2.4.3 client.

glad it work. enjoy your day!

[ALRobbins]

The clients work - the TBC client runs and connects to another TBC pserver, I can make characters and play there. But it does not properly connect to Stormforge-Netherwing. 

The MOP client runs and connects to Tauriwow, where I can make characters and play, but it does not connect at all to Stormforge-Mistblade.

im sure you're using a launcher 

please use a normal wow.exe and change realmlist to  SET realmlist "logon.stormforge.gg"

[ALRobbins]

I am not using a launcher. Nor even the executable (.app for mac) patched by Tauri. I used the stock executable that can be found in the link to the Mac guide on Tauri that you posted here. 

 

As first posted, the realmlist is set to "logon.stormforge.gg."

there is an extra '.' at the end 
also make sure you're logging with username
and you can use this patched exe under stormforge domain. https://download.stormforge.gg/wow_18291_patched.zip

[ALRobbins]

That's just me quoting it and ending the sentence with a period, in the actual config file (posted in my first post) you can see there is no "." at the end. The "set portal" part has also been removed since then but it made no difference.

I cannot use an .exe. But does it need a patched executable?

Yep try to use it too and try to log in

[ALRobbins]

.exes do not run on Mac. I can try with the executable that Tauri patched though. 

[ALRobbins]

Same problem with the patched executable. 

 

 

[Crysis]

Answer is simple - Netherwing does not support MAC at all.
