Looking For On-Site Setup - WPB, FL

[TheGibsonBanjo]

***LOL! My previous thread said "glide" in it and everyone had a heart attack. It was obviously a terminology error on my part, sorry. I am indeed extremely interested and excited about mulitboxing, and here is a re-post of my closed thread!***


Hey guys, first let me tell you I am a long time admirer of multi-boxers, and am extremely excited to join an exciting way to play WoW, and to join such a great community.

According to the link pasted here; A plea to all newcomers ; I have searched and tried to find information on my question, but nothing exists. Also, I hope nobody is offended or annoyed by my request, because it's genuinely something I would like to follow through with.

And now to the actual post =)

I am looking for someone somewhat near my location (WPB, South FL), who would be interested in providing their "professional services" and set me up to multi-box (most interested in 5). This would include on-site setup and tutorial to teach me how to manage it on my own at first. It would probably entail some followup support calls just to iron out some issues, but that's about it. I suppose it could be done all over the phone or remote connect, but for me I think an on-site install would be much faster and beneficial for me. Details on compensation would of course need to be determined ahead of time.

I suppose the best way to express interest is to post here, and I will check back throughout the day for responses.

Thanks!

only one question... why do you want to circumvent the best part? doing the research and learning about the hobby is imho the main reason to do this. so i guess what im asking is:

why do you want to multibox?

we like new members to the community and all but the whole fun of it is the exploration not the destination.

/argree with Bot

Sorting out stuff / learning how to do stuff was the best part of learning how to multiboxing

I understand what you're saying, but this is not a situation where I have infinite time to read guides, make mistakes, try again, troubleshoot, I just don't have time to do that. I work a very crazy job 7:30-6pm and I go out most nights to meet with crews that begin night work at 11pm and don't get home until 3 or 4am sometimes. I just don't have the time or energy to invest in learning it myself. What I do have is the resources to have someone teach me so I can learn the efficient fast way. Though again, I appreciate your input. And I would agree if I wasn't concerned with time, but I am. =(

Just wanted to make sure you weren't doing anything you shouldn't.

Hmmm all this onsite talk has me wondering if a potato sack and some lube are involved...

[TheGibsonBanjo]

I used to do some development for a questionable program and still check the forums every now and then to see the legal status of said program. I remembered seeing the name -

You obviously have other intentions that negatively represent multi-boxing and I don't think the community will appreciate it.

I have no "intentions" other than to five-box, if I wanted to bot, then I would bot...what would five-boxing have to do with botting?

My intentions are pure, and my original thread says it all. I simply am looking for help setting up five-boxing, nothing more. What is the deal with everyone attacking me, wtf.

LOL! Haha, I assure you it's strictly electronic!

I just want someone to be like, look - here's how we do it. Sit down, show me how to tie the 5 WoW accounts and characters together using a macro program or whatever is needed, show me the best way to set up my bar(s) so it's pretty understandable and fluent, show me how to run it with the leader show me what to do if that, and what to do if this happens. ETC nothing crazy, someone who knows what they're doing should be able to set me all up in and out in under an hour probably. And I'm not looking for charity, I'll pay whoever for their time.

Nothing about "negative intentions" as that one guy is yapping about, and nothing about lube - LOL!

No, my original post was a terminology error on my part. I know about gliding and it came out, so what?

The point that needs to be understood here is botting has no ties to multiboxing even if you think that's what I'm after, and it's not.

If I wanted to bot 5 accounts, then I would. If I wanted to multi-box then I'd do what I'm doing now. One doesn't really tie in with the other, so I don't understand what your problem is.

[zanthor]

Gibson,

My consulting services are available, for more information PM me some details. I'm not in the area however I'm experienced in consulting, remote access, hardware and software support.

Details needed:
Hardware 5 box, software 5 box, goals, desires, etc. Existing hardware or complete new build?

Thanks,

I'm going to remind everyone that the original thread was locked appropriately for referencing botting.

The OP is aware that he referenced botting, and wishes to reiterate that it is not his intention any longer.


I'll also remind a few of you (particularly the ones in this thread who admit that they, in the past, have botted) that we all come from different places. Some of us made mistakes in the past. Like Blizzard, a ban for doing something wrong (botting, harassment, whatever) doesn't necessarily mean a complete ending. You create a new account, a new, fresh start, and you get another chance.

We haven't given the OP a chance, yet. So let's play nice. Not everyone is perfect, not everyone starts out in the right place. We all have made mistakes, so let's give the OP the benefit of the doubt and assume that he means what he is saying. After all, some of you in this thread have been in the same position and have similar histories with nefarious products.


Keeping our hobby clean doesn't mean you can't have made mistakes in the past. Nobody is 100% infallible. So let's be nice, ok?

Makes me feel a little less likely to throw my hands up and say forget it, hehe.

I will agree with many about the fact that most of the fun and sense of achievement in multi-boxing comes form the very fact of making it work in the first place. Having someone set everything up for you will make you miss on a lot.

Moreover, you will end up with a set up that might be just wrong for you, even though it worked for somebody else. There are so many different ways of multi-boxing, so many different approaches to the same issues.

I really think the basics can be learnt in not much more time than it would take for someone to explain it to you; There are several very good posts and wiki pages right here that could greatly help. I mean, just read this page ('http://www.v-boxing.net/v/tiki-view_faq.php?faqId=2#q16') (15 minutes), create two accounts (5 minutes), roll two *whatever ranged class* (5 minutes), make a /follow and an /assist macro (15 minutes, forum reading included), group the characters and send them killing level 1 wolves together (10 minutes). Here you go, you are multi-boxing.

About the time factor, I think if you have so little time, you should probably not play MMOs in the first place. Multi-boxing does not eat more time than normal playing, but it is quite a lot of time due to the nature of the game.

Then you can elaborate on that, using more advanced functions, making more macros, etc ... Besides, there is still a lot to do once you are set up. You need to set up new macros and tricks as you gain more spells while levelling. I don't see how you will be able to do these (more complex) things if you didn't go through the process of learning the (easy) early part.

Just my opinion. :)

Probably don't worry about how I choose to delegate my time.

And I know learning is a journey, blah blah blah, but I have an end product that I want to achieve and I don't want to waste time on prerequisites. I got a couple PMs, would be nice to get a couple more for comparitive pricing.

[Bot]

And I know learning is a journey, blah blah blah, but I have an end product that I want to achieve and I don't want to waste time on prerequisites. sounds like botting to me...

but in all sincerity good luck :)

[shaeman]

Seems smart to me - if you don't have the time to set something up yourself pay someone else to do it.

Sometimes things click together that bit quicker when you see it working, and have the components explained to you.

I see it no different to driving a car - you don't necessarily need to know what's going on under the hood to enjoy driving. You just won't know how to fix it if it gets broken (You just have to pay someone else to fix it).

[zanthor]

I see it no different to driving a car - you don't necessarily need to know what's going on under the hood to enjoy driving. You just won't know how to fix it if it gets broken (You just have to pay someone else to fix it). This depends entirely on who deploys it. I've done thousands of IT deployments that include basic training and maintenance instructions. An experienced individual could easily setup a multiboxing rig for someone and give them the basics for what it takes to maintain it. The only real issues I can see would be major changes in the setup such as BT3 being unsupported when BT4 came out.

[jurence]

Sorry to be honest but

If you don't have time to figure it out yourself, you won't have time to multiboxer, especially not level them all.

Step 1: figure out how to not get power surges

step 2: keyclone ( x 5)

step 3: good interweb connection

step 4: 5 x shammans with first 4 letters similar, last 4 different

step 5: ??

step 6: profit.

5 chars? You can do that with 2 computers, easy. My "main" holds 2, flawlessly. Im going to be adding my laptop into the mix to hold one more, possibly one more for kicks.

[bootss]

Let me tell you what I think. I have been multiboxing for over 8 years now. I started way back when before keyclone when I played Everquest. It was basicly called 2 boxing then you actually had to run 2 computers at the same time it was very challenging but a great sence of acomplishment.

When I started playing WOW last year I was 2 boxing the old fashion way. Wilbur turned me on to Keyclone thru another forum that we both frequent.

I took that program and read all the forums and made it work for me. I wont say it was easy it was a lot of trial and error some very comical. I did some crazy stuff with my 2 Hunters but in hine site I would not want it any other way.

My two Hunter are now known thruout the server. It's Awesome!!! When I enter a zone ppl yell " The Twins are in The Zone"

Dont miss out on that great feeling of acomplishment that could be yours. We will be here for support but do it yourself. If you can read these forums you can set up Keyclone.



Trust me You will be happy that you did. :)

First off...I'm glad someone stood up and said WTF to Bot, the guy saying I want to bot. Just an FYI, it's taking every bit of strength not to flame him but I won't.

1) Power surges? No problem I'll dedicate each tower to a separate outlet. Shouldn't be a problem, 2 towers?

2) Keyclone whatever that's the point of paying someone to set it up. Do it and explain to me what buttons to push, simple. When it breaks I'll call you again, service call and/or warranty depending how payment agreement goes

3) Internet connection?? What does this have to do with "if you don't have time to learn for yourself, you don't have time to multibox" i don't get it. And of course I have cable internet, duh.

4) Again, what does this have to do....I don't get it...

5) ???

6) Exactly the goal. I wanna be able to log on and have it all set up ready to go for me.

Nice story, sounds like fun =)

So you're basically saying keyclone is all it takes to link accounts together? But there's so much craziness like switches so if 1 character dies, etc..Makes my head hurt!

[bootss]

Aparent;y you are missing my point.

[Redbeard]

Bottom line is that, for those of you who are suggesting that he should set it up for himself because it was more fun for you... thats exactly the point. It was more fun for you.

For this gentleman, he obviously is not interested in doing the setup. He just wants the end result. We live in a world of specialists, I see no problem with it.

He doesnt share some of your values and thats OK.

In most things I can relate.

Good luck in getting someone to help you set it up sir.

[Carnage]

Good luck!

[bootss]

Sure why not just buy 5 accounts on ebay

Thats Awesome!!

Anyone wana buy my accts because I can make lvl 70 in about 60 Days of casual playing and its fun. 8)



JK I would never sell my accts.

[Vyndree]

Boots, there is no connection between illegally buying characters/accounts and wishing to pay for advice. Consulting happens in the real world. I suggest you get your head out of the sand and think about it the next time you insinuate someone should break the ToU/Eula -- even in joke -- on a forum that has VERY clear rules on suggesting or discussing non-compliant practices.

This is getting ridiculous.

This is the newbie forum. People go here for help.
The OP has not broken any rules. Several others in this thread have been breaking the rules by harassing him.

People have different values, likes, and dislikes. Many of us value the experience of setting up software/hardware/macros/UI tweaks/etc. That doesn't mean everyone does, and that does not give you the right to make baseless claims about who will and won't be successful or have fun. The OP has broken no rules. He has asked for no "free" time from others.

Some of us value our time over a nominal consulting fee. Some of us have more time than others. Some of us have better jobs than others.


If I see ONE more person mocking the OP, you are going to see your biased little butt booted from the forum.

Be nice or GTFO. Yes, that's a forum rule.


Be Nice (Includes you wilbur ) be nice to each other and respect the authority of Moderators and specialist staff.

[zanthor]

Good luck in getting someone to help you set it up sir.

He doesn't need to find someone, he already has.

[Bot]

i wasnt trying to mock the op. my first post was a legitimate question. my second post was pointing out an error. and in my third post i was just pointing out the correlation between the two things. both botting and paying someone to setup multiboxing for you are getting to the end result without putting in the effort. i dont care if no one thinks so but there is a similarity there. again i said good luck and i meant it i just thought it was funny. i am indeed sorry to have offended anyone. if he was talking to me in real life it would have come across as a joke but since my text cant convey tone or emotion very well i just came across as a dick i suppose.
