*This is enGB Locale, you need the enGB patches to patch to 1.12.1. Installed it is version 1.9.4, see comments for 1.12.0 patch and 1.12.0 - 1.12.1 patch. I will upload to this page the correct 1.12.0 and 1.12.1 patches when my hotspot refreshes and i have LTE data and remove this segment.

I have only been able to locate vanilla client patches, you can find them in the mega.nz link i posted on the vanilla wow disk set, it is enGB locale so you need to download the enGB patches for 1.12.0 and 1.12.0-1.12.1, i have located only 2.4.2 to 2.4.3 patch for the TBC expansion for osx. WoTLK ended PPC support entirely.
please take note this is the enGB WoW installer disk set... I downloaded the enUS patches and cannot patch so now i have to download the enGB patches
IIRC they kept PPC support, I think requiring Leopard, for quite many years. Does anyone know if the latest Leopard/PPC-compatible patch is also available somewhere?
i also had to burn the CD's.
https://mega.nz/#F!XRdDyaAL!jY7UReJCIAPSbinG-hpb4A 1.12.0 patch and 1.12.1 patch
A page with Mac patches is coming.
I haven't tried installing on anything later than Tiger, but mounting all the CD's at the same time worked fine when installing, at least for me.
Maybe a link for patch 1.12.1 would be useful for those, who wish to play on a "private" vanilla server.
Blizz installers request the CDs sequentially in the same drive, which not works by mounting .toast images.
I had the same problem with StarCraft Battlechest under OSX 10.5.8, the installer stopped after CD1 and didn't recognise CD2, despite I dismounted the first and mounted the second image. I only successed to install the game from real burned CDs. I wonder, if there is a way for swapping .toast images in a single virtual Mac CD/DVD drive.
ok , thanks, maybe my problem it's because i have installed 10.5 on my iBook. Someday i will downgrade it an try that game.
I’ll have a look at it sometime tomorrow after work
Edit: I downloaded, unpacked and mounted all the discs under Tiger (10.4.11) and it did install fine. The box says it requires at least 10.3.9, as for the last working OS in regards to these discs, I'm unsure as I have nothing higher than Tiger installed.
After it ask to insert disc 2 the installation fail, it doesn't recognize it. Anyone knows why?
This is the old CD installer, useful for those that play on emulated servers... system requirements will follow.
World of Warcraft now requires 2GB of VRAM minimum and High Sierra.
