   you cant patch servers.
   you have to wait until reaper or oatman or colt releases a new repack to upgrade.
   that is the only way.
   or you could learn how to compile your own, but thats very, very hard.
   trust me!

   Take a look here if you are interested in giving it a shot but as avelmaris has said it's far from a simple task, not incredibly complicated but little details and order are important. If you have some programming experience that helps a lot, the guide helped me get my server up and running in about an hour and I'm no genius.In case you do decide to give it a shot the major links you need are:

   https://sd2-acid.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/sd2-acid
   https://unifieddb.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/unifieddb
   http://scriptdev2.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/scriptdev2
   http://mangos.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/mangos/trunk

   If you've ever taken a programming course, especially a windows/VC++ course, then compiling is a trivial task. All the requirements are outlined explicitly in the mangos forums. You can get Visual C++ express for free from Microsoft's website. Download the source, open up the solution files, make some very minor tweaks in visual c++, and compile away!

   The only thing besides that you have to know is how to patch your mysql database(s). I recommend SQLyog or Navicat to make life simple.

   I compile mangos every time there's a major UDB or Acid release, or if a large milestone is reached in Mangos. This comes down to once every week, sometimes twice a week. It takes about half an hour to compile mangos and scriptdev2, as well as update the databases.

   What do you do if your WOW install is newer than what MaNGOS 6245 (UDB + PSDB), ScriptDev2 r474 is? How do you UNPATCH WOW? This is the patch that I have now:

   WoW-2.4.2.8278-to-2.4.3.8606-enUS-patch.exe

   Thanks.

   well first off, you have the correct patch, lol.
   but there are guides out there if you need to unpatch.
   but what the hell. ill give it to ya anyway. lol.
   for anyone who has 2.4.3 installed (like i did) this is how you can unpatch to 2.4.2

   1)Go into the wow folder

   2)Go into the data folder and delete all the patch.mpq files

   3)Then go back to the main folder, run repair.exe only checking reset the cache and then reset and check files

   4)After the check is done you'll be reverted back to 2.0,1 or something close to that, patch up to 2.3 (you should have the updater in the WoW main folder)

   5)Then patch up to 2.4.0 (again you should have this updater it says 2.3 to 2.4)

   6)Then find a site that has the 2.4.1 and 2.4.2 files (I found mine here at http://www.tentonhammer.com/node/26964, but I think Blizzard has them as well, I just googled it)
