I have been playing over on Ackadia. It took me a while to set up my files so that I could make that work, but of course I have no idea what I actually changed/didn't change in the process.
Now, I would like to look back in at good old WoD, but I can't figure out how to do it. I have tinkered arount with the login.cfg to try to activate the right one, but I don't know if I am even using the right one for WoD. I also don't want to give up the ability to play on Ackadia Raw. What can I do?
Please remember I am an idjit and talk slow and use small, old fashioned words. Thanks.

You have the wrong game installation. Ackadia Raw requires AOS which isn't what WOD runs on.

Ok this is a bit lengthly but it will allow you to switch between ANY shards simply:
(and I dont have to figure out Ack's files or what you tried to do )
Undo the stuff you tried to change (or do a reinstall of the Ackadia files).
Rename the UO directory to Ackadia
Do a new install of UO. (creating a new UO folder with all original files)
Put WoD files in the New UO folder.
Rename this directory to WoD
--Now you're done with the setup--
When you want to play, rename the folder for the shard you want to Ultima Online.
Make sure to use the correct client to launch.
When you're ready to play the other shard, rename the folders again.

Note: If you're using UOAM and swap between shards with different maps, it will need to rebuild the map each time.

I've been using AoS on WoD since it was released, all it needs is the the 2.0.0c client.

Ugh, I'm obviously not smart.

If that didnt work here is another way that worked for me.

Rename your ultima online file with the ackadia stuff in it Ackadia.

Reinstall UO.

Download and put the WOD files in the new Ultima Online folder.

If you want to play ackadia rename the ultima online folder wod and the ackadia folder Ultima Online 2D. And vice versa.

Be sure to use the correct client for each shard.

Thanks, everyone. I can see how to do it. Right now, I am using a two separate computers, but I will try these suggestions over the next week.

I thought my client was 200b. I am also having trouble getting back to wod, all I get is the music for the intro and I get stuck on the verifying account gump. How do I get the 200c client?

EDIT:
Nevermind! It's amazing what a FRESH REBOOT can do!! *grin*
