The resurgence of interest in the original World of Warcraft experience has led many players to seek enhancements beyond the Classic WoW servers. While *Season of Discovery* offered notable changes, *Turtle WoW* presents a significantly more extensive modification. As a private server, accessing *Turtle WoW* differs from joining official Blizzard servers. This guide details the download and installation process for the *Turtle WoW* client.
Downloading Turtle WoW
To access Turtle WoW private servers, visit the official Turtle WoW website and locate the prominent "Download Client" button. Clicking this will open a menu; select "Full Client Download."
While the download progresses, return to the homepage and click "Sign Up" to create your account. You'll need an account name, email address, and password. Your account name is your login for the Turtle WoW client.
Turtle WoW Installation Guide

You'll need a file extraction program (like 7-Zip, if your system lacks one). Right-click the archive, extract its contents to a chosen folder (e.g., "Turtle WoW" on your gaming drive), and wait for the extraction to finish. Locate the "TurtleWoW" application within the extracted folder and launch it.
The Turtle WoW launcher will automatically update the game if necessary. Once the update is complete, click "Play" to launch the game. Log in using your account name and password.
For convenience, create a desktop shortcut to the TurtleWoW executable to streamline game access.
