1. New to WoW, making my life more difficult than it should!

    First of all, I want to say hi, although I know this isn't the thread. Kinda rude to just barge in asking.
    So: I decided, after years of refusal, to try WoW, and I am a bit masochistic and such, so instead of just running on my corei7, I decided "wait a minute, Lich King runs on PowerPC Macs!" So I downloaded the client for Mac, and yes, my old G5 Quad runs it. Until I reach the server.
    I can boot the the game, I can log in, I can select a server. When I log into the server, it goes into a screen that states "retreiving charachter list", but it lasts just a fraction of a second, and it crashes the game.
    I've been lookng around, and tried deleting the patch-w.mpq files, but there are nowhere to be found, so that can't be the issue.
    This is the error log (sorry for no proper formatting):

    I hope you guys can point me to the obvious mistake I may have made, and I can get online with this old beast.
    Please, please: Don't just tell me "just play on Windows". I know that, I have a nice PC and I can go there no prob. That is not a solution to the problem, I do want to run it on this system, weird as it may be. So please don't answer with "just run it on another system" because that is not a solution to my problem at all.
    Thanks in advance to anyone who tries to help me out, and sorry for the long post!

    EDIT 1: Logging into other servers works fine, it's just Warmane. Weird since I downloaded the client from here? I hope I can figure it out.
