Macros now serverside

[Multibocks]

Has anyone tested this?

We are happy to inform our players that beginning with patch 3.0.2, all character macros and key bindings will be stored on the server side by default. This should make logging into the same account from multiple computers much more convenient as the same key bindings and macros will be applied regardless of where you log in from.

This would be awesome for me as I have a laptop that I use at work and would love my macros to automatically change over when I did something at home. Right now I have to redo them all or copy my wtf folder over to my laptop. /crosses fingers

It's definately true and I'm loving it

hot diggity!

so after deleting the WTF file for one of my characters (to get rid of a bunch of old addon settings) all my macros specific to the character disappeared.
so.... it might be. but it wasnt for me on patch day.

I think that you needed to log on with character specific macros first for them all to apply to the server since all my keybindings and macros after logging in the first time worked for both of my computers on each account.

Be careful - I have 2 wow folders that use the same account - my "main" wow folder that has every addon, set to full screen, etc, that I use on my non-multibox characters, and my first multibox wow folder.

Well, When I logged into WoW after patching, it uploaded my macros or whatever, then I logged in again with the other folder, and it overwrote my server macros with the macros from my main wow folder which didn't have any of my "general" multiboxing macros. These then got stored over my old multiboxing macros on my first multiboxing folder.

Basically I had a backup and I logged out, copied it over the macros-cache.txt and logged back in, then deleted macros-cache.txt on every other system. Now they're restored.

This only seems to be a problem with the general macros.

Key bindings are also being stored sever side FYI. I had a to change a bunch of mine to "character specific" bindings so my boxing toons don't interfere with my main solo toon.

God, no. This is horrible news. I have an entire separate WoW duplicate folder just so that I can have different key bindings when I'm not boxing. This will make it a nightmare.

This is my second night in a row logging on to find all my tank macros gone and the keybindings gone. X(

Hmm, this isn't what I've found. My macros and keybindings are all working from my C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\WTF\Account\(account name)\ directories. Maybe if they are deleted they will work from the server, but I'm not going to delete mine. I copied my keybindings file from the file bindings-cache.wtf from that account name directory to the other accounts that I run on all my computers and it correctly fixed all of my keybindings to what I wanted to use. I also copied the macros-cache.txt file to all of the character directories and it correctly picked them up in the game when I logged in. This all happened after the latest patch version 3.0.2 (90561 Release)
