How to make 2 realms(the real way)

[volitle]

How to have more the 1 realm, the real way!

Step 1:
Make a new folder call it something like ascent2. Now open up your original server folder and copy everything over into the new folder you just made (ascent2), now everything is copied over delete the logonserver.exe and logonserver.conf files.

Step 2:
Make a new world database and if you want you can copy over the whole world db or make an entirely new one. Now go to your router and Open the port 8130.

Step 3:
open up you new server folder(ascent2) and then open ascent-world.conf and change this
<WorldDatabase Hostname = "localhost" Username = "root" Password = "PASSWORD" Name = "ascentDatabase" Port = "3306" Type = "1">

to this

<WorldDatabase Hostname = "localhost" Username = "root" Password = "PASSWORD" Name = "ascentDatabase2" Port = "3306" Type = "1">

now scroll down abit and change this
<Listen Host = "0.0.0.0"
WorldServerPort = "8129">

to this

<Listen Host = "0.0.0.0"
WorldServerPort = "8130">

then save and close

Step 4:
Now open up your ascent-realms.conf (ascent2 still)
and change this part
<Realm1 Name = "realm name 1"
Address = "dyndns here:8129"
Icon = "PVP"
Colour = "1"
Population = "1.0"
TimeZone = "1">

to this

<Realm1 Name = "realm name 2"
Address = "dyndns here:8130"
Icon = "PVP"
Colour = "1"
Population = "1.0"
TimeZone = "1">

Save and close that now.

Step 5:
Go to ascent1 and start up your server as normally (by running ascent-world.exe and ascent-logon.exe) and wait until it is fully loaded. Once fully loaded go to ascent2 and start ascent-world.exe and then it is done.

Congratulations you now have two realms with the same logon but two different worlds . You can now Start to customize the second world and change rates if you want, you could have a blizz-realm or funserver realm.
The choice is yours.

If you have any problems please feel free to ask.

Sick bruz it works i hate noob guides that are like copy it and change the name! and it works or change the realm count to 2 lol thx

[volitle]

no problem, here to help

[luca90]

Done all of that but instead of 2 realms on the realm selection there is 4 realms 1 with my main realm name, the other with my second realm name and the others with the name somerealm. But all the realms have the same characters in it. Please help is, btw i skipped the part with the ports in all tutorial the port part doesnt work i think because of my router. Is there a way to do all these tuts without changing any ports?

[volitle]

you need to forward that port other wise it wont work and especially if your on a router

[Jackie Moon]

Dont set the realm count to 2 in each realmconfig just keep it 1

Gay now it says "Unknown Database can't connect to Ascent2"

??? any ideas

[volitle]

not quite sure, never had that problem, make sure you remote logon passwords are the same

[Jackie Moon]

done everything u said just says unknown database ascent2 cannot connect then crashes

good job, really like

i want 2 realm(2world db), diferent character databases for each one (so u couldnt jus log onto fun serv then to blizzlike with full S4 and T6) and one logon so it would be like retail
this isnt what this is, correct?

btw how would i make a realm locked so characters couldnt be made on it and still played by those who do have chars on it

[kaalibard]

when i go to start the second realm i get error out of memory on the ascent-world.exe under ascent2 the first realm starts up fine, but in the cmd of ascent-world.exe (ascent 2) i get error out of memor

[kaalibard]

Now im getting a diferent message in the cmd.. check it out:

[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

[Trylosand]

I followed the guide almost exactly the only thing i did differently was different db names. but when i start both up they only use on db instead of both. any help would be appreciated.

create a new accounts database and then change

<CharacterDatabase Hostname = "localhost" Username = "root" Password = "PASSWORD" Name = "Server1account" Port = "3306" Type = "1">

to

<CharacterDatabase Hostname = "localhost" Username = "root" Password = "PASSWORD" Name = "Server2accounts" Port = "3306" Type = "1">

in your ascent-world.conf in your ascent2 folder hope that helped and sorry for the long waited replies ive been busy.
