I merged my accounts on battle net this morning, and when I went to log in with Keyclone, the server gave me a "can not connect" error on the sign in screen.

I use 5 folders to play wow, one folder for each character, and Keyclone (obviously). I use the symbolic link method to link the 5 folders to a main wow folder. I do this to keep my keymaps, add on settings, ect separate for each account.

So... When I use the sign in feature to launch all 5 of my windows, it does so as it always has, but when I enter my information, I get the above error.

If I log in to my account using the main folder instead (losing all my settings) it works fine, If I use key clone to launch wow using just the main wow folder, again.. Works fine. If I try to use my individual folders..... Complete fail.

I suspect that this is due to my use of the symbolicly linked folders not having a bit of data in them some where that the new b-net launcher requires, so when Keyclone sets up your windo, and you try to log in it yells at you. I how ever have no idea how to fix this.

Does any one know how to fix this issue, or does any one remember how to reconstruct symbolicly linked folders, so I can redo the setup? The old post I had book marked here showing how to do it is gone, and I can not remember for the life of me how do it again.

Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.

TBH I have heard nothing but bad things with B Net other MBoxers have had issues and there was apparently a rash of account thefts shortly after people switched to B Net.

As for me I will stay away from it for as long as possible to let them work all the bugs out. However they did say eventually everyone will be forced to use it. I can just see it now when the several million people who have held out all try to convert on the same day......

Well... finally I got mad, and deleted the old folders, and am reinstalling the game. I am trying to find more information on how to make symbolically linked folders. I want to return to my set up where I had one "Main" wow folder and 5 linked ones.... One for each toon.

Some one had posted how to do it with just a .bat script, and creating a c:\bin directory. Put it in, and ren the script.. Worked nicely. It now no longer works... When I run it the links to the wow main folder exe gives me an error, saying the launcher does not exist.

I want to get it back to the way I had it. Does any one know a current way to do this?

I would like to keep the default wow folder in the C:\user\public\games\world of warcraft, and name each of the linked folders Wow1 - Wow5. I am still trying to use some of the info in the Powershell link thread, but I can not get it to work yet. Any help would be welcomed.
