What is the enhancement in mind? How should it look and feel? Data that is based on a "realm" scope should be the same for all characters in a connected realms group since their guilds, auctions and whatnot are all shared. E.g. EU-DieTodeskrallen and EU-DerAbyssischeRat should share the same realm data.

Please provide any additional information below. One could use GetAutoCompleteRealms to map to a single realm in a realm group.

Instead of local realmKey = GetRealmName() one could use a construct such as this one:

local realms = GetAutoCompleteRealms()
if realms then table.sort(realms) end
local realmKey = realms and realms[1] or select(2, UnitFullName('player'))

Note: This uses the shortened realm names that Blizzard uses in most cases, i.e. "DieTodeskrallen" instead of "Die Todeskrallen" which would probably invalidate existing databases... But of course, there are other options :)

Existing data is invalidated anyway with any change, no matter what, which is why I'm somewhat reluctant to do this.

Then maybe add an alternative scope, e.g. "realms", "realmgroup" or "connectedrealms"? That way the authors would still have full power over their data representation.
