[HOW-TO] Fix your Addons after Server Name Change

[Tanked 2]

Hey guys, I just wanted to make a quick post in regards to fixing your addon settings since the Elysium servers name change yesterday.

You will notice that the server you play on may no longer named be named the same thing. You may also notice if you logged in unaware of this change that your addons seem to be reset. In this example I will use Nostalrius PVE (old name) and Darrowshire (New Name) to explain how to fix it. (You will use your specific server name when this is referred below. Make sure the spelling and capitalization is correct)

Steps to fix this issue and reclaim your old settings:

1: Make sure your game client is closed and navigate to your World of Warcraft folder where the Elysium client is located. (this will depend on where you have it installed or located on your hard drive.)

2: Once we are at the World of Warcraft folder, navigate inside the WTF folder, then Account. Go inside your account folder and here is where folders will be located for Servers on Elysium.

3: Inside the Nostalrius PVE folder, select everything and copy the contents

4: Go back to the Account folder and into the Darrowshire folder (if there is not a Darrowshire folder, you will need to create one with the exact spelling/capitalization)

5: If there is anything existing in the folder, go ahead and delete it first to avoid any errors.

6: Now we simply Paste everything we had copied from Nostalrius PVE into the Darrowshire folder

That is all there is to it! You can now start your game back up and notice all of your addons are set how they were prior to the namechange.

*If you like to be tidy like myself, after pasting everything into the Darrowshire folder, you can completely delete the Nostalrius PVE folder.

 

UPDATE: Alternatively to the above method, you could rename the old realm folder to the new realm name. In this case if you have logged in and it has generated a new folder, delete the new folder before renaming the old one.

 

I hope this helps anyone that may have been blindsided by the servers namechange and not know how to fix the addons settings without having to redo everything :)

Can you not just rename the folders to the new names?

You sure could, but most people that will view this will most likely have already logged in once, hence it auto generating a fresh folder with the new name and default addon settings., So in that case it is easier to move or copy the old correct settings to the new named folder.

But yes again, if you have not logged in yet, it would be easier just to rename the realm folders as Hudson suggested.

I have edited the original post to include this.
