Touble patching multipull accounts

[Basilikos]

Would this approach work for updating to the expansion? I understand you still need to buy a copy for each account to update the accounts on blizzard's side. But would this save me the hassle of installing the game 5 times and downloading patches five times and then still having to redo macros/settings and stuff? Or would adding the expansion change the WTF folder too? How are people planning to update all their accounts when they get their copies of wotlk? Thanks for any input!

I can help with some of that. Installing the game fives times can be done simultaneously with as many machines as you are playing on. For me, that means effectively doing 'one' install. If you've downloaded the patches, you can move them to any number of computers or WoW directories and re-run them. If you're running a software box setup, you'll need to either install and patch once and copy the directories around where you want them, or look into the symbolic linking (NTFS Junction points in windows). That has it's own hassles, though, and you'll have to look around here for the tutorials with the details.
