Notes:
For the people who want different in-game settings per-account or per-character. You can make multiple shorcuts and add "-cfgset=PlaneShift.UserConfigPath=/path/to/wherever" to the shortcut target. This way you can have multiple user-config directories and choose which one PlaneShift should use when launching your client.
