damagepy 5 Report post Posted June 22, 2018 I just made 3 copy of the WoW folder, named them WoW classic 1,2,3, and then went into 2nd and 3rd and deleted the Data and Interface folders. Then with a symbolic link creator program (I use "Symbolic link creator 1.1.2.15") I made folder-links to the First "1" folder's data and interface folders. I did the same within the WTF folder with the "Account" folder. With this, each of the 3 Wow act as a different Wow with different realmlist but uses the same interface folderlocation for addons, same data dir and same to access account/realm/character infos. Also since the WDB folders are not shared, each client can access servers with different patch progress so no need to delete. What is a Symbolic link? Its Since XP, but mostly available since Windows 7. There is 2 type, entering one folder can just send you to a different folder location (as an internet link) for example if you have show hidden/system files enabled in Windows, then in C:\Users\<youraccname>\ there is an "Application Data" folder which jumps you to the AppData\Roaming folder. The other link is when it just simulates that you enter the dir but actually jumps to a different location secretly. So for example enterin the C:\USers\All users actually shows the contents of the C:\ProgramData folder (in W7), they are the same files, if you edit or delete something at any location it affects the other as well but they seem they have different locations. So for example you can make a folder in drive C: root named "D" and then symbolic-link it to D:\ thus if you enter C:\D\ you see the whole D:\ drive files and directories there, and you can maanage those files from there too. I use it when I installed a game on HDD and want to play it on SSD without reinstall, I just move, symbolic link and the game still thinks it runs from the original location... Anyway, using symbolic links I can make any number of different WoWs that uses the same data and interface folders but have their custom executables, realmlist and WDB (client-version-cache for the current patch's items creatures etc) but shares the same folder for account and addon-save data. Deleting a symbolic-linked foldername itself just deletes the link, not the target (same as deleting a desktop shortcut to a folder or file will only delete the shortcut). I'm using symbolic links since vanilla, where at 2005 I could only afford a tiny SSD for system and I only copied the interface and WTF folders from WoW to C: because it was the thousands of tiny addon-related file that made WoW launch and load so slow. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
