If that holds true, I guess i would just keep seperate wdb folders and swap em. emm I dunno, I'll start out with two separate apps...just in case ha.

The game version is 1.12.1 in both servers allready. They just add content etc with Blizzlike timeline. so basically yes, WDB is the only place affected, since WTF will have own folders for different realms.

So as said in earlier post, download launcher, that's the easiest way. Works fine for me even with Nost & a competor both running the same client.

Most foolproof way is to have 2 installations, since 5GB~ is not that much space in todays numbers, I see no problems with space on disc. I've already macroed both installations onto my keyboard and made custom icons for taskbar. Having to restart the client every time I want to change realms seems tedious.

awesome

Excellent. thanks for the update. Can't wait for next weekend!

I'm very much looking forward to it!

Why would you need to change the WDB folder, you just switch servers ? all the content will be there as the Pvp one so it wont matter? like MC / BWL ect

The PvE server will follow the timeline that the original PvP server followed; this means the server will run with different item stats than those currently available on the PvP server for a time. The WDB folder is where you store the stats of items as they exist on the server. When you have a WDB folder already, the game doesn't give you a new one so if you transfer from the PvP server to the PvE one, you will see incorrect item stats. If you don't have a WDB folder, the server will create a new one for you.

Something to note, having the server create you a new WDB folder does add strain to the server in general, so you shouldn't clear it every time you log-in.

So when we should clear the WDB folder? Between patch changes?
