I was wondering, if someone could post a guide (Yes it will be pretty big and lots of people with lots of questions) on how to make your own realm. I think all of us here would be very thankful, ~Peace~

I've never made a realm before, but I'm sure it wouldn't be easy. If some one were to make a guide it would defiantly get a sticky.

if you copy and paste i would sticky it, but im not just sticky a website
Download the latest version of PvPGN from here. The setup, described below, will allow you to play Warcraft II Battle Net Edition, Warcraft III Reign of Chaos, Starcraft, Starcraft Brood War & Diablo. You will be unable to play Diablo II or Diablo II Lord of Destruction since they require d2cs, d2dbs and / or d2gs / D2Closed which is not discussed in this section.
I suggest getting your PvPGN server to work first before pursuing the d2* programs since you will be unable to use those programs unless PvPGN is setup & working properly. Also, make sure that a Warcraft III loader is being used to connect to non-official Battle.net servers, when connecting with Warcraft III.
To install PvPGN:
Simply run the exe file by double/single (depending how your system is setup) clicking on it.
Follow the instructions in the installer & click on finish to exit the installer when it's complete.
If you are using Windows XP, 2000, ME, or NT, you might want to consider installing PvPGN as a service instead, though this is not required.
To install PvPGN as a service, run the install program using the "-s install" switch. Example:
c:\pvpgn1.4.4.exe -s install
Setup will say that it is "Installing as a Service".
To start the PvPGN service, click on:
Start
Settings
Control Panel
Administrative Tools
Services
Select the PvPGN service & click on the play like looking button to start the service
If your experiencing problems, the exe file that you want to use as the service may need to be renamed to PvPGNEliteService.exe .
If you want to uninstall the PvPGN service, run the install program again using the "-s uninstall" switch. Example:
c:\pvpgn1.4.4.exe -s uninstall
Now that PvPGN is installed. We need to configure PvPGN correctly before we can use it. Go to the location where you installed PvPGN. All of your configuration files, such as the bnetd.conf & log files are located there in sub-directories.
The default installation path is:
c:\program files\the player -vs- player gaming network\pvpgn
Go to c:\program files\the player -vs- player gaming network\pvpgn\etc & edit the bnetd.conf file with a text editor such as Notepad or Wordpad.
Their really are only 3 things that must be changed in the bnetd.conf file to get PvPGN running. For now, leave all other settings alone, PvPGN should work just fine without changing any other settings. Only change the settings specified below:
In the bnetd.conf file, look for the "Message Logs" section. Change the loglevel to the following:
loglevels = fatal,error,warn,info,trace,debug
This tells PvPGN to log all possible errors including initialization, MySQL & connection errors.
Scroll down until you get to the "Server Network Info" section. Change the servaddrs to the following:
servaddrs = "0.0.0.0:6112"
This will tell PvPGN to listen on port 6112 for both the TCP & UDP ********s, for all IP addresses on your computer.
For the last line that needs to be changed in the bnetd.conf file, simply scroll down a few lines and change the w3routeaddr, which is also under the "Server Network Info" section, to the following:
w3routeaddr = "X.X.X.X:6200"
Replace X.X.X.X with your IP address. This must be a specific IP address or a domain name such as www.pvpgn.org, 0.0.0.0:6200 won't work. This tells the PvPGN Warcraft III router to listen on port 6200 for the TCP ********. This will route Warcraft III data to PvPGN.
Scroll down once again & until you get to the w3routeshow line. Enable & change this only if your using NAT, behind a router, gateway, etc. If your not sure, just leave this alone.
Try using w3routeaddr first, if your having problems connecting with Warcraft III, then enable w3routeshow.
W3routeshow is disabled by default & should be left that way unless your experiencing problems.
#w3routeshow = "127.0.0.1:6200"
This tells PvPGN to listen on port 6200 for the TCP ********, on localhost (127.0.0.1), on your computer. If you enable this, change this to your internet IP address or domain name, followed by the colon and port number.
Save & close your text editor.
Now, open ports 6112 & 6200 if your using a firewall. If your behind a router, forward ports 6112 & 6200 to your computer or register the internal IP address of the computer running PvPGN as a DMZ in the router. If your using Windows XP, it has a firewall that is installed by default. Make sure to allow incoming & outgoing access to ports 6112 & 6200, if the firewall is enabled, or you will be unable to connect to your PvPGN server.
Now your ready to start PvPGN.
On your taskbar, click on:
Start
Programs

PvPGN
After starting PvPGN, open your bnetd log file. It should look something like this:
