My current access to Azeroth is kind of convoluted. It’s a little bit like an incantation or prayer that my Undead priest Mordvar might have to speak in order to heal a comrade or hurt a foe.
I’m running World of Warcraft 1.12 via Wine in the foreground window where you see Mordvar flying a Tawny Wind Rider on a flight path. In the background on the right, I have Windows 7 Professional 32-bit (a copy that I received for free from a Microsoft event in Ohio some years back) running in Oracle VirtualBox. And in Windows 7, I have an old copy of SingleCore Vanilla, a WoW server emulator that I connect to on my local machine.
This weird assemblage allows me to explore Azeroth for research using admin tools that are otherwise unavailable to normal WoW players.
