What do I need to know about these Item List files thing if I play on both Nost and Elys?

So I'm leveling two characters, going back and forth the servers. Some people say some Item List files are in conflict between the two servers, though, due to having a different patch or something, so I would not get the proper item stats in the mouse-over info or something?

 

I'm new to WoW so I have no idea how this works. Does it really happen? If so, what do I do? Keep two sets of the files and replace them whenever I switch?

Different game content like items is cached by the client. This means if the game displays you an item, the client will save it to a local file to avoid traffic. 

Elysium PvP and Nostalrius PvP having different stats on their items because of the progression. For this reason it can happen, that you will see item stats from Nostalrius PvP on Elysium PvE. 

To get this issue fixed you have different options:

1. Delete every time before you start the game the "WDB" folder, which contains the cache files
2. Use for each realm another folder

I've had the same problem and wrote for this reason a small start script like

#!/bin/bash
rm WDB -Rf
wine WoW.exe

Please note that this script is for linux users.

Thank you. Just to clarify, there's no setbacks from deleting the WDB folder, is there?

Get a second client.  Use one for each server you play on.  That will keep the hassles to a minimum.
