Apologies... The developer insisted the download link was good and wanted it posted, though I was sure the download link was not valid. We'll try to rectify the situation soon as possible.
I can't review the software, since I don't have Leopard. However, this isn't the first way to do this, since MaNGOSx has been available for at least a year. It works under Tiger, and the only thing I might wish were different is that it also requires Intel hardware. In fact, it was mainly the idea that this product might support PPC that encouraged me to look at it.
Bear in mind - I am not criticising this program, nor saying that it is inferior to MaNGOSx, except in its limitation to Leopard.
I am wondering if this is or is not against WOW policy requiements? If you use this, I'd suggest you do at your own risk of being suspended from WOW or banned.
Great software, can't wait for an update for 2.4.3 :)
As to the last commenter... I'm curious, how would this violate end user rights since you are not actually using your blizzard account at all? Since you can buy the game and not create an account with blizzard, I'm curious how they would ban you... from what, your own computer? When using a private server, you are not using anything belonging to blizzard, just your own copy of the game and your own private server.
Although this requires Snow Lep, which causes a LOT of problems in other areas. I would like to know if this is a real "Server" can I serve up several users at once on a LAN or on a DMZ or something? I would like to get this actually working with WOTLK, and the net expansion when it comes out soon. Please let me know.
This so-called "easy" install pack fails badly. Firstly, the download link is annoying and fiddly. Secondly, no documentation is included in the actual download. Thirdly, the documentation suggested in the dev's notes starts with "first run the installer" - THERE IS NO INSTALLER!
I know that once people have got one of these packs working, getting them to keep working is easy - but please, if you're making a pack for newcomers and advertising it as an easy all-in-one download, include the instructions and make sure they actually apply to the supplied package... :/

If I were you I'd put in a guide online somewhere to make this easier, but otherwise, worked great!
