Your folders are now located in a _retail_ folder inside your World of Warcraft directory.
#SYMLINKER OSX UPDATE#
So why not update the lua with both accounts info? So if you log into WoW1 it updates with the characters from WoW1 Account and if you log into WoW2 it updates with the characters from WoW2 account.Īs of patch 8.1 (Tides of Vengeance), Blizzard has changed the file path structure in the World of Warcraft folder. This file gets updated with the character's information each time you log out of that character. For example, the addon, Altoholic, is just pulling the character information for the characters you are not currently logged in with, from a datastore lua file (part of the altoholic addon). So I thought there has to be a way easier way of doing this. If I need to make any changes it just become too much work to be bothered with. Since I drastically customize my UI using KG Panels, Bartender, and a few other addons the settings can take awhile to set up for one account let alone two. Though you can share your addon settings between two accounts, by copying folders and files, to keep both updated for every little change you make becomes rather annoying. My second issue is addons and their custom settings. Yes, you can update between two or more accounts, but you need to not only be logged into both accounts at the same time, but you need to remember to actually update the information or you are getting old/bad data. However, one downfall was updating the information of the characters. This is a great addon that allows me to view just about anything about my other characters without having to login and back out. But how do I get information from one account to another about my characters and banks? Well I was using and addon called Altoholic. My main issue is that I do not have all 10 of my playable characters on one account, and nor do I have all my bank alts on one account. Though many think having multiple accounts is all good, and it is for the most part, there are are some issues that come from having character's that you actively play on two or more different accounts. This guide will refer to Game Accounts as "accounts", and Accounts as either "Bnet Accounts" or " Accounts". Please be aware that this will not show you your account names you will still need to check in your WTF folder for those. You can view your Game Accounts here: (note this is US link).
#SYMLINKER OSX UPGRADE#
Game Account is referring to each Battlechest game key you have on your Account (some are starter accounts that haven't upgrade or Alpha/Beta). Now this takes a little more setup and some other programs, but symlink can be really helpful with a lot of things.įor example, if in my folder I have a folder labeled 908825#2 and one KELDESH.ī Accounts can have more than one game account of WoW on it.
While this guide is mainly for use with your Addon Settings I have also found this useful in having my screenshots linked between my multiple computers. This will probably not be an issue for a lot of people, but may be for a few that can find use out of this. With all the customization and alt information I had a slight issue with having multiple game accounts. I have use up a lot of character slots between all of those, which lead to the multiple accounts. Being active on the Auction Houses, as well as having multiple bank alts with multiple bank guilds (guilds created to use the bank for storage), and being an altoholic. I, myself, am one of those that have more than one account. People do this for many reasons from being able to multi-box to the current character slot count per realm is not enough.
#SYMLINKER OSX LICENSE#
