This is again a complete guide to transitioning from version 3.3.2 – 3.3.3a . I will update the full clean installation guide later. Arena rating, points and honors will remain unchanged for players, just as we are told by the official servers. We now have the same arena season and the same deployment date as on the official servers. From now on, we will delete arena points and honors as soon as we are told by official servers, please note. All the news from the new patch may not yet be fully available and functional, but over time we will gradually apply them. Everything is ready and tested. Remember, however, that in a small number we can not try everything and so the main testers will be you, our players.
Why are we switching to a new patch when this one is stable and not all the stuff from the existing patch is still there? For further development of the server, it is necessary to switch to the new version. Since we take data strictly from official servers, we must keep up with them in versions as well. Not all instances and news will be available (yet), but the transition is necessary at the moment. New data is required to repair other spells, quests, loots, instances and the system, and if we want to verify something, we can not, because on official servers they already have other, new data. We do not want to make temporary solutions like other servers, to think how it should be. Nope. We have our own head and it tells us to follow what the official servers show us. And for that, we need a transition. Why don't we open instances before the transition? Why don't we fix things from the current patch first? Imagine that we need to download a system that uses the magic of the boss in some instance and its course to imitate and download the necessary data and packets, but we can not do without the transition, because all systems of spells, quests, rewards and loot always after the transition somehow changes and the obtained data can not be used on older versions, the same with quests and others. If someone does not like our policy and prefers to stay on older versions, where we will fix everything in nonsensically temporary ways and then switch to new systems (patches) after a year and nothing will work nepůjd it is not a solution řešení the solution is to do everything gradually with new data and ways to make it last even after switching to new patches. If someone publicly publishes their negative opinions about the transition, they have nothing to do on our server and have an open door with the exit sign, or they can assist GM with the ban button for the last time. The same is true for individuals who may be asking GM questions in the article. Thank you for your attention and understanding in case of possible problems.
1) Quit all applications.
2) Uninstall all previous versions of the Drahy Program, including Drahy Program 3.1.
3) (Optional) I recommend using Repair.exe and repairing the game completely before moving on to avoid any later problems when installing new patches or problems directly in the game. You can update the game after this step via Launcher.exe, but at your own risk. If a newer patch comes out, which we do not yet support, you will not be able to connect (Launcher always downloads the latest possible patch via torrent technology). We recommend that you follow the following instructions:
4) Download and install the following patch 3.3.2 en 3.3.3 enUS (122 MB) or 3.3.2 en 3.3.3 enGB (153 MB).
5) Then 3.3.3 en 3.3.3a enUS (5 MB) or 3.3.3 en 3.3.3a enGB (5 MB). This patch is sometimes not available via automatic download in Launcher. So, I recommend paying close attention to whether you really have the desired version of the game.
6) Install the new version of the program.
Drahyho Program 3.2
Our unique program has more than 3 years of tradition and has undergone many changes and improvements. Now it comes with an improved Launcher made directly for our server. The program itself is almost as old as the server itself, which is why I congratulate it on such a long duration and excellent functionality and trouble-free operation. Why should you install the program? Here is a list of important points and functions of the program:
Main functions of the Drahy Program:
1) They change the realmlist.
2) Allows you to run the game via Launcher.exe without fear of downloading a new patch with the ability to follow the news from the main portal www.drahy.com just before the game starts.
3) Installs only add-ons that you choose from the menu and keeps your optional ones during installation/uninstallation.
4) It has a simple and modern installation guide.
5) Adds the program to the Start menu - Programs from which it is possible to uninstall the program.
6) Removes the temporary unnecessary Cache folder both when installing/uninstalling the program and directly in Drahy Launcher. Keeps the WTF folder for setting up addons and macros.
7) It has protection to check older versions (always uninstallation required - file unins000.exe or via Start menu => Programs => Drahy Program).
8) It does not harm the game in any way, it can be removed without any problem and the client can be used for other servers - it returns files as they were before installation, including realmlist and all files that it installed.
9) Supports the game with and without the WOTLK add-on (game version 3.3.3a).
10) Checks if you are installing the program to the folder where you have the game installed.

Oprav Fixed deleting folders "backup" after uninstalling the program

Download the program: Drahy Program 3.2 from the server eDisk.cz (10 MB)
Wait until the server is online. We have completely backed up the server in case something goes wrong so that we can go back. (Please keep the communication calm on ICQ, forum, etc. so that we can concentrate and not spoil anything by asking when it will go, it will not speed up in any way, when it will go, you will learn from the server status here on the site. The server can initially be run only for GM. Thank you.)

Thank you for your attention u again, I would like to point out that anyone who asks GM about the things listed here will be severely punished or expelled from the server. We already have enough work to do, we do not want to solve the inability of individuals to read important information, which they then ask for.
Server Cleanup
Like every month, there is again a cleanup of the server database from inactive characters and accounts. Cleanup is also used to speed up the server, stability and mainly to get a real number of players on our server. Again, I remind you that we delete inactive accounts and characters more than 2 months back. If, for example, you are not on the server for two months, you only need to log in to the game account once in a while (less than 2 months) - you do not even have to go directly to the world - you only need to choose the characters, if of course you want to have an account still active (a friend you trust can log in and provide him with login information - but here I will remind you the importance of the rule 7)). We do not make exceptions in deleting, because it is a mass operation and applies to everyone. I also want to warn newcomers that not only inactive characters will be deleted, but also characters who have recorded less than 2 hours of net game time. Newcomers who do not fit into this time can at least start over and take it as a second try. Cleanup automatically deletes accounts without characters. If you have two unauthorized accounts (each has the right to one account), just delete all the characters from the account and the purge will take care of deleting the account. There is no other way to delete the account. Purge is a very demanding server operation and can stretch for several hours, but I believe that the patience of the players will bear fruit. Delete inactive characters and accounts before the date 19.2.2010 00:00:00:
Number of deleted accounts: 6 475
Number of characters removed: 8 146
Number of other optimization processes: 78 412 557
