The Den currently runs on 2.3.3 ONLY
--------------------------
This post is to tell you how to revert your game version to 2.0.0 and how to patch up to the patch you need.
NOTE: This way works even if it wouldn't get an update for while, you only need to update to the correct patch when you do this correctly.
First method;

Snoopeh had a great guide before, but I was gonna link it, but I couldn't find it,
Anywho, Start by deleting your Patch.mpq file and your wow.exe
executable.
Then run the repair.exe file, and will reset you back to TBC 2.0.0 version.
From there you can download are run the individual patches from Wowwiki.com
Also, DO NOT run the launcher.exe to start WoW or else it will auto-update,
Delete the Launcher.exe when your are reverted back to 2.1.3
And run the game from the wow executable itself.
Or as stated Below, use KP's loader to run the game.
Either way if you updated to version 2.2 , You have to rollback to play on this server.
Good luck.
(Even I can make a quality post from time to time).

If that don't work, you can proceed with the following or if you don't want to get rid of the new patch but still get to play on
The Den;
One way that should work for sure is to uninstall whole game and install it over again OR you can install another copy to different folder.
Here is minor guide for it.
Quote:
OPTIONAL: Uninstall game and then proceed to next step OR Just install the game to different location!!
Install World of Warcraft along with expansion as normally.
Then retrieve updates from Patch mirrors - WoWWiki, the Warcraft wiki All the way up to 2.3.3 (your choice)
(remember, The Den supports 2.3.3 currently)
After you have done this procedure, proceed to get KP's Loader here
When you got KP's Loader, installed as in the topic instructs, you should be able to play again.

Personally, I hate the Blizzard launcher because it messed my game up on retail twice so I've just ended up to delete it or just re-create shortcuts to WoW.exe
If you want to change your existing shortcut on desktop so that it is launching WoW.exe instead of Launcher.exe, this is help to you;
Quote:
Go to your shortcut properties via right click -> Properties.
When you are at properties, go to line similiar to "Target" and locate the "Launcher.exe" on the line.
Replace the "Launcher.exe" with "WoW.exe" and then just click OK.
After you have clicked OK, the shortcut saves the settings and will direct automatically to WoW.exe, instead of Launcher.exe and you should also turn automated updates off, as well as the "Show Launcher" option at bottom left corner when you are starting your game.
This will prevent automatic updates and Launcher.exe from starting on same time as you start World of Warcraft, meaning that it wont update your install of the game until you manually do it or turn automatic updates on again.
