I did the launcher and client update but still do not have 25 quests max. Anyone have this issue or a fix for it?

Was a little leery given i just did some addon and configuraiton clean up last night to get things stable, but so far so good. Update completed, 25 quests show, mods seem to be working or at least loading successfully. Cautiously optimistic pending more hitting things with hammers.

Upgraded the wow.exe binary to support an expanded quest log of 25 with some clever techniques. They said it couldn't be done!
Evidently it can't be, because you bricked my, and several other people's game.
Edit: fixed it by disabling all the malware under the "mods" section that were installed on my device without me being informed.

As of last update: These Mods are inevitable = they are force installed and enabled with the latest updates and they are even included in the Torrent file for JUST THE CLIENT.

Forcing these files so hard on everyone is suuuuper weird and fishy and I don´t think any good intention is behind it.

Because if you want the mods, you can easily get them - why force it on EVERYONE?
Not even on option to opt out. No message like "Hey, are you fine if we install all of these optional client modifications to your system". Nothing - just silently force installing and enabling everything in the background.

I wish we had some super hardcore Nerd that could unravel what´s going on with that.

What is up with SuperWoW being not only shipped with the game files but automatically checked on for people?
I have emailed OctoWoW about that and talked to Kistrel (though you guys stopped replying to my emails 3 days ago)
I do NOT give permission to have my mod SuperWoW redistributed by OctoWoW. I am not affiliated with them and don't endorse any private servers.

I could understand the first time being an oversight by an engineer who didn't realize the license as explained by Kistrel, but to not abide by my wishes for the 2nd time is disappointing and sad.
I urge you to take this into serious consideration. Remove SuperWoW from the launcher, from the torrent link, and from the direct download ZIP.

In case you are trolling, it was fun xD
In case you are real Balake, could you add a way to disable the enforced nameplates distance option? I do not use 2.x versions cause of that

I keep getting an Aria2c error code 15 and wiped literally everything Octowow and tried a new install and still get it. I can't update or do anything because it constantly errors out.

A quick visit of the repo shows you that this is the truth and likely not a troll
