Are you tired of the ice Dragon roaring at you when you log in to World Of Warcraft? Or do you just want to see a login screen from days gone by? Well now you can do something about it by changing your login screen. There are 2 parts to the login screen, the visuals and the music.

The Visuals

1. Download this.

2. Unzip the file you downloaded. And it is a folder. And inside it are a bunch of folders. When you navigate to them , keep doing so till you get a folder that has these folders in it.

Bloodelf - Female Paladins Only
Burning Crusade - Badge Farming Time
Classic - Now with more Deep Breaths
Deathknight - The Hero Class
Draenei - Spacegoat
Dwarf - Hopefully Female
Empty Black
Human - Manly Men
NightElves - The Mailbox Dancers
Orcs - The Superior Race
Tauren - The Plainsrunners
Undead - Give us China Models

3. Now do to your World of Warcraft folder. Open the Interface folder inside that. And now you have to make some more folders.

Inside the interface folder, make a folder called GLUES and open it.

Inside the GLUES folder, make a folder called MODELS and open it.

Inside the MODELS folder make a folder called UI_MainMenu_Northrend and open it.

4. Now remember the list of folders in step 2? Well they come to play now. Each folder is named with the particular login screen data inside it. So for example if you want the old Burning crusade login screen then you choose Burning Crusade - Badge Farming Time.

You open the folder from step 2 and move all of it's contents into the UI_MainMenu_Northrend folder you made in step 3.

5. And that's it. You have successfully modified the appearance of your World of Warcraft Log in screen.

6. ~Note Well~ To get the WOTLK login screen back just empty the UI_MainMenu_Northrend folder of all of it's contents.


Music

1. Download this.

2. Unzip the file you downloaded. And it is a folder. And inside it is 2 .mp3 files. They are the music of the vanilla WoW and TBC login screens.

3. Go to your World Of Warcraft folder. Open the Data folder inside that. And now you have to make some more folders.

Inside the Data folder, make a folder called Sound and open it.

Inside the Sound folder, make a folder called Music and open it.

Inside the Music folder make a folder called GlueScreenMusic and open it.

4. And now you have to pick any .mp3 music file you want to be played during the login screen. It can be the old WOW ones or your favourite tune will do.

5. Once you have found the mp3 you want, you have to rename the file to this WotLK_main_title.mp3 and then moved the renamed file to the GlueScreenMusic folder you made in step 3.

6. ~Note Well~ To get the WOTLK login screen music back just empty the GlueScreenMusic folder of all of it's contents.

Thanks Thee it worked but the music doesn't, it still remains as the wotlk one:)

[edit by Thee] The music worked for me. Strange it did not work for you but talk to me and I'll do my best to make the music work for you.
