I did a bit of searching, but didn't find a list of games that allow multiboxing. Is there one already created? If not, it would be nice to say, one day when I'm bored, I could just checkout something I have not done before. When I go to check out games now though, the first thing I'm doing is search the ToC's and then posts for other multiboxers. If this is a redundant post from someone else my appoligies. Anyway, I was thinking something like this:
Game Name - Type of MBoxing Allowed
WOW - Software/Hardware (with restrictions 1click/1action)/single or muli computers
EQ2 - Software/Hardware (with restrictions 1click/1action)
This is just an example, but hey if it's already out there, please point me in that direction.

I'm not aware of any game that does not allow more than one subscription per customer.

There are quite a few games that do not allow mulitple clients on one computer or a single ip address (behind a router). Then there are the games that only allow one console per person according to ToC's, mainly free or pay for ingame money games do that. Just some food for thought, I'm just looking for a list of tried and tested Mboxing games. Some games may allow you to run more than one console but not on the same computer, based on programmers memory locking requirements. These are nices to know when looking at new games to try.

I'm not aware of such a list, but I know we can box Warcraft as that is the poison most of us have chosen.
Going to the "other games" forum, or something very similar on this site will list other popular games.
Contacting the developers or game masters of another game is a good option too.

Nice idea, I'm waiting for a reply from the powers that be, behind Warhammer Online, to see if boxing is allowed on there.
Eve is boxer friendly, but I'm not sure on restrictions.
AoC don't allow boxing, last I heard.

WAR is allowed, I've seen some on German Servers, playing 2 Zealots (I guess)
But I don't know what's a good Combo though, and PC Performance is hard 4 1 PC to run 2 or more. Ok don't know the stability of the Client now, was a pain in the as with even 2GB (got CE, and only played freetime) It's a nice game and lvl through RvR is Insane. Guess I'll 2Box it if my second PC is ready^^

One thing to be aware of, too, is that each game allows differing levels of multi-box play.
Turbine, for instance, seems to be mainly concerned with unattended play. But the developers have stated that tying commonly used keysequences to a G-key on a Logitech G15 is perfectly valid for their game, breaking the 1-key to 1-key taboo that Blizzard enforces.

City of Heroes/City of Villains allows it, but unless the client is in the foreground you won't be able to duplicate key presses or mouse clicks.
If you use a multicaster and multiple computers (one client per computer, client in foreground window only) you can do it. Otherwise lots of alt-tab action if you try to use one system.
