Hey

After reading a lot about multi boxing I want to try it myself.

After playing WoW, Vanguard … I’m thinking about going back to EQ and multi boxing the content. I would like to 6 boxing, to have a group on my own.

Why Everquest ? It’s certainly not an easy game but I think it’s one of the best games out there and some classes don’t need a lot of focus or button smashing.

How many client can I run the game on my computer?

I own a AMD Athlon 64 bit 3200 + with 2GB of ram and a Geforce 7800 GT and an 17” LCD screen.

I have another computer in another room but not as good as my main but good enough to run at least one EQ Client. I have a laptop too but he can’t stay long on because he can’t stand the heat anymore.

With the EQ anniversary edition out it’s not very expensive to buy 6 of them. 120 $ (€ 90) They all come with one free month play time only for new subscribers. The most expensive part is the monthly fee for the six accounts. 14.99$*6=90 $ (€ 66)

Here’s how my group would be composed of :

  • Warrior (Tank)
    Cleric (Heal)
    Enchanter (Mana regen, lower resists, mezz, eventually charming)
    Shaman (Buffs and SLOW)
    Bard (various utility, but maybe a little too hard to box with)
    Ranger (DPS with autofire)


Some advice from the pro’s would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
