Cynwise has blogged about it, and I personally use a setup similar to that. <br /><br />I use two different accounts on two computers, swapping between two accounts. I have seperate dropbox folders for Account1WTF, Account2WTF, Addons. <br /><br />The only caveat Is that I can't really 'hot swap' anymore, where I would log in on one machine to force myself to log out on the second, because it creates a race condition where the 2nd computer's log in grabs the 'stale' addon data files (since they are written on exit, not during play), THEN dropbox pushes out the modified version from the first box, then they're updated on my 2nd computer, but not read/held in memory since WoW is already running. When that WoW client exits, it will write it's updated version of the 'stale' data directory.<br /><br /><br />TLDR; Dropbox is a simple way to manage it as well, which also serves as a backup point. You just have to wait for the files to push from one machine to the other before you log in.Cindernoreply@blogger.com
