I have been reading up and have convinced myself to try multi boxing. There a a couple of questions I would like to ask to help make some of the choices I will be making.
First - Gonna try 3 rogues-All different specs at this point and 3 different levels. I was going to use
rogue one- 48
rogue two-45

to power level rogue three- 29

So with that in mind, I am planning on running all three accounts from the same machine, um Keyclone for this?
Also if that does not work, I think I have enough ram and processor for it, not sure if the vid card can handle it, what is a good software to be able to set the other 2 machines up to receive my keystrokes/ mouse commands.
Finally, is there a site/blog/forum/miracle where I might look into some of the macros/scripts that I would need? Meaning Rogue specific.

Thanks for the help dooooods and dooooodettes]

I am sorry for what is about to come your way.

Well not really because I am very new here also and had no issues finding the answers here to all your questions except for rogue specific macros but! I read on this site why you won't find those here.

so wiki, noob forum, search are all your friend.

oh and accounts must all be in YOUR name or you will get busted and banned. Just in case you didn't know and the off chance they are not.

Ya know I was just gonna stop looking in here, due to a previous post, but realized that one person does not make a group.

I will simply rephrase my questions.

I am not LOOKING FOR HELP TO GET STARTED, just some advice on which direction to go.

meaning, with the vast amount of experience in here, do you folks find running from one machine to be the way to go, or from multiple machines.
I have access to 4,but i believe my comp. can handle running 3 instances at one time. And from what I have read this seems the way to go.

Macros I can find. Setup, may be a bit of a task for someone of my age, but I believe I can over come that also.

MB looks like a lot of fun, I am just wondering which way to go first.

Thanks guys for the input

Thanks guys for the inputYou are not looking for help to get started, but you haven't set yourself up yet or multiboxed yet? Then you imply that someone telling you to go to the newbie forum is a bad apple on the forum? If you can't even take the smallest amount of TOTALLY APPROPRIATE criticism, you're not worth helping, sorry.

Multiboxing multiple melee classes is a very big challenge, and I don't mean "hey lets go climb that mountain" type of challenge, more like the kind you have when your septic tank eats your cat and then explodes.

Moved for obvious reasons.

Ya know I was just gonna stop looking in here, due to a previous post, but realized that one person does not make a group.As you're apparently too dense ('http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Adual-boxing.com+rogue+macro') to get it ('http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Adual-boxing.com+keyclone+single+machine') in spite of all the answers ('http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Adual-boxing.com+system+specs') to those questions that have already been answered ('http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Adual-boxing.com+software+keystrokes+mouse'), here's another tip in case you're unfamiliar with BurningBoard forums: open my profile ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=User&userID=843') by clicking my name, then click "Ignore user" in the bottom right section. Then sit back, relax and enjoy the blessed silence from us nasty, mean old farts.

On a more serious note, I do wish you the best in finding what you're after and hope you'll find it in spite of anything anyone else tells you on an interwebz forum. /cheers

3 rogues + different specs = trouble

considering how positional some specs of the rogue class are, you will have a really hard time getting one rogue in position to garrote/backstab while the others are whacking away.

can X spec computer hand Y instances of WoW? - how long is a piece of string? - trial accounts are free, just set it up and see if you get decent frame rates! seriously! you don't have to spend days doing macros to see if your machine can handle the FPS you need/want. just log in, create a few toons of the same race, and see what happens when you zone in. you don't even need to move around, but you can if you like. If you REALLY want to test it, run the group to a major city like Stormwind. For this, keyclone/octopus isn't even necesary - just use "/follow LEADTOONNAME" and let them follow you to the city.

Just to reinforce what's already been said here, because it's important for others to learn from...

The problem isn't "one bad apple". The problem is that you broke every possible rule of etiquette.

- A totally meaningless topic subject, which compells people to read your post even if they don't want to address your questions.

- Posted in the wrong forum. You know you're new, so you clearly should have posted in the newcomer's forum.

- Despite your protests to the contrary, demanding a personalised guide to multiboxing even in the presence of a veritable treasure-trove of information here.

- Not having the good grace to accept appropriate criticism from long-standing members with a history of helping others.

I wish you luck in your multiboxing adventures, and genuinely hope you get yourself up and running (yes, Keyclone will get you going the quickest of the available tools) so don't hesitate to come back with specific questions in the future.

But before you do, be sure to use all of the existing resources:
