Howto: Increase multiboxing loading times on single computer. Up to 300-800% faster loading times.

It's a popular method around here!

It didn't really reduce my load times, it just made it so everything was synchronized... Which is good too.

A big downside to using Symbolic Links however, is updating... What a pain.


Also: An easier way to do it is this:

- In every folder BUT your "main" folder delete your Data and Interface folders.
- In your "main" folder, Right-Click the data folder and "pick link source"... then navigate to one of your other WoW folders with the now deleted folders, Right-Click -> Drop As -> Symbolic Link
- Do the same thing as data, except for interface now too.

This basically tells your computer to look at one data/interface folder for information (instead of every WoW folder... in my case, 5 )... speeding things up!

In total, you're copy/pasting the 2 link sources 2 times for each "slave" folder you have.
