Thought I'd share a workaround I discovered for a problem I see on these threads a lot. I had a problem with my nephew loging in. I had created an account for him and he had logged in at my house and created some characters. When he went home he installed the client and patched it to 1.12.1 and changed his realmlist.wtf file to my web IP address (myadd.no-ip.com). He was able to log in and when he had the server suggest a realm he just got a blank realm list page. I checked in the Realmd accounts table and he was loging in, his IP was recorded and the login time.

THE WORKAROUND: I copied my config.wtf file and edited the SET accountName to his account name and saved it and had him replace his in [path to WoW directory]\Accounts. Everything worked fine after that, both he and his brother could connect to their accounts.
