Quote:Hi,
Sort of a thread hijack. Do you run two full copies of WoW, or do you put some stuff on one machine and then just point to it from the other.
The reason I'm asking is that Magi and I have ended up with three (soon to be four) copies of WoW (but only two accounts:)). That makes keeping everything updated a chore. I have a bunch of older computers that would do fine as file servers, and I was thinking about putting the WoW WTF and AddOns on the server and accessing them using shortcuts. I don't know about the remaining files. So, if you (or anyone) has done or tried something similar, I'd like to know how it worked, what the gotchas are, etc.

I have been running two accounts of WoW on one machine and alt-tabbing between them when it is necessary to have both up at once. Both have run fine for me with only one install of the game on the machine.
As to the WTF folder, only the config.wtf is shared between the accounts. Each account will get a sub folder of its own to store any other variables in.
