There is no longer any need to have seperate folders, so there is no need to symlink. Everything works fine from just one folder, because all the account's settings are seperated into per account folders under the main one, except for what is in the root config.wtf file, and different versions of that can be swapped in before WoW is launched in the few cases that you need different versions of it for each account.


Ahhh, now that it is not very late, and I have had some coffee, I understand. The only downside is that I have to type in the specific account name each time I log in. My (now) old way remembered them and that was nice. Poking around, I see where some things have migrated into the individual Account folders. Awesome, in the end this will be much easier I think.

Should I actually use the Launcher now?

Thanks again.
