Pinkie does a test

[Pinkie]

We start out on our current realm and with an example UI

Spoiler:

that we want to port to the new realm/patch, below will be a list of instructions

TL;DR; copy your legion's WTF over to the bfa's WTF and rename the Felsong folder under your account name to the new realm name

1. Head to your legion installation folder and over to WTF legion/WTF legion/WTF

Spoiler:

2. Open Account and you should see a list of accounts you've ever played on (I've only got one for the sakes of testing, you may or may not have multiple) open your account folder

Spoiler:

3. Open the account whose configuration you want to port over to bfa and copy (to the clipboard, ctr+c) everything in the folder copy everything inside

Spoiler:

4. Now head over to the bfa installation folder and repeat steps 1 and 2 bfa/WTF

Spoiler:

NOTE: If these folders do not exist (ie. if you have not logged into any bfa character yet) simply create them following the names closely, WTF > Account > [ACCOUNT NAME] (note, your account name has to be fully capitalized and the one you sign in with, if you log in with "billy" as the username and "blaster123" as the password then your [ACCOUNT NAME] will be "BILLY"),

(Note, the only important folder here is the realm folder, all other files are more or less "useless"; their function is in their name)
5. Head into your [ACCOUNT NAME] folder and paste your legion data (from legion/WTF/your account) to the folder we got to so far (that we got in step 3) (bfa/WTF/your account) open account folder and paste

Spoiler:

6. Rename the Felsong folder to [New realm name] rename Felsong to new realm

Spoiler:

7. This is how your [ACCOUNT NAME] folder should look like after you're done with all the steps above

Spoiler:

Good to go!

Spoiler:

Note: some addon configurations might not transition well into their bfa addons since the addons may or may not have developed a lot in the 7.3 -> 8.3 period
