WoW installation ID? Copy/paste wow folder?

[jazzman170]

Hey guy's im curious as to how this works. If i want to run 5x accounts on my main system all under the same VPN IP, i want them all to have their own copy of WoW right? So would copy/pasteing the wow folder 5 times be sufficient or is there a different way im sapposed to do it? Normaly i run each bot in a VM, but i just lost 13/16 accounts, 4 of which were less then 10 hours old and were lvl 24. The only thing they all had in common was the 13 banned were in a VM, the 3 survived were NOT in a VM.

If you copy-paste the WoW folder, Blizzard will be able to see that. Fresh installs always - IMO.
My ideal set up:
Linux host OS
5x VMWare Windows 7
5x HWID hax for each VM
Completely fresh installs for everything - no copypasta at all
But then again, I may be a bit too paranoid - but can you really be that in this 'business'?

Does that refer to changing the Hard Disk Serial number? (the VolumeID) on each VM? Doesn't Windows use a random ID anyway for each machine (so if you have 5 separate VM machines with their own fresh Windows 7, isn't the hardware ID different for each anyway or no?)

I've been running teams for years and I don't get this paranoid with it. I am paranoid in my actions IN GAME ... not so much the initial setup.
As for the questions on VM setup, there a bookooo threads on this forum about VM; queue up a search pattern and away you go.

A lot of the time you can argue that you're connected to a single wireless network, and/or play from a gaming center which would explain the single IP ... bam, done.
