So curiosity got the best of me, and after 12 hours of hard research (mostly here on this great site), I managed to get 3 RAF trial accounts up and running using Keyclone and Jamba. Currently running four hunters on a focus-based system mostly for experimentation's sake, but I must say, I'm loving the team so far (level 20). I'm running strictly bears atm, and just decimating entire populations so fast it would make my head spin if it weren't so easy. Iffy latency is actually my friend in crazy situations, because when I switch targets for /petattack, my bears will often end up on 3-4 different mobs at a time while my hunters stay on target. Sometimes, in a big camp, it looks like it might be raining elves and bears, lol. Seemingly chaotic, but controlled slaughterfests abound.

Having a blast so far, and wanted to thank the community here for making it easy!

Good luck with your team!

After you get the hang of MB a little bit, it may be best to take a step back and consider what your longer term goals are. While 4 hunters are probably extremely fun, please recognize that you will not be able to take all 4 to heroics or do many level 80 dungeons/raids. Also, if you're experiencing lag right now then I'd be a bit worried about 4-boxing in BC or Northrend. I currently 3 box and can never have more than one druid in Dalaran if I want to be able to move more than three steps without serious lag.

Most importantly, have fun!

Well when I said I had latency issues, I meant that I have to hit some of my hotkeys a few times in rapid succession in order for the orders to be issued correctly to all members of my team, especially when it comes to /petattack for some reason. As far as performance goes, it's the same for me as if I were on one character - flawless. I think I could run at least one more account with zero problems.

As far as my long term goals, I dunno yet. Mostly started up the hunter team to get a hang on the basics, as it seemed they'd make for easy play - which has so far been true.
