Blizzard recently released the BC alpha for friends and family. This means that anyone can download the full alpha and install it. It does NOT require wow to play, ANYONE can download it. The problem is that you have to be an alpha tester to connect to the Blizzard servers.
So to play on your own without being an alpha tester, all you have to do is use something called a sandbox to create your own singleplayer server on your computer.
Step 1:
Download the alpha (about 1.2 gigs) from
Step 2:
Install the game normally, but when it asks for you to upgrade your account skip that part. Make sure to install it to a different directory than your normal WoW if you have it.
Step 3:
Download and unzip the sandbox from this link
Put the realmlist.wtf file in your new Burning Crusade directory, replacing the old one.
Step 4:
Run TBCSandbox.exe. Then start up the wow.exe in your BC directory. Login with username of your choice and password 'nopass'. Connect to the only available "server." Create a character and zone in.
Read EMUPEDiA.nfo for more information.
Step 5:
You can now use the .go command, followed by 4 numbers to teleport yourself anywhere. Here is a list of nifty coords.

Use the .speed command followed by a number to make yourself move much faster.
This is ONLY the sandbox, created a day after the release of the alpha, so there WILL be bugs. Also, you can only look around as of yet, there are no gm powers, no mobs, no items. Within a few days im sure they will be added, but this is just a "quick fix" to get the game running.
Germans eat shit, we beat you in beer fest.
