New to boxing

[ioho]

Hi there all, been hanging around here for a while, reading, and researching. I just recently decided to actually try boxing.

Went out and grabbed two new copies of WoW, set up my RAF (Original account invited both new ones), and got started with my 3 shaman group.

I had always wanted a shaman, but could never level through the early stages, but decided with RAF, it'd fly by. My three now are 43 - taking it slow - ;)
and I'm loving it, though I seem to be having an issue with working around with macros. I tend to just skip a lot of new spells, as they don't benefit me
too much so I'll not take the time to work out ways to incorporate them into my systems.

This site has been an awesome help, so much good information and advice here (at least there is if you look for it.) Keyclone has been great, once I
got my head around the setup I hardly ever think about it anymore (thanks to, once again, all the good info/advice that's here.)

I still haven't decided if I'm going to stop at 60 and level another group or two, or if I want to push on towards 80. I'd feel silly not to make at least
one more group. So I might just level new groups as I wait to build up rested exp on my shamans.


Anyway, just wanted to actually say hi to all of you out there that have been helping me in one way or another.

Welcome to the forums! Also if i was you id level as many toons as I could before RAF runs out lol.

I do tend to get bored with a class fairly (well, way too often), so having 3 or 4 sets of classes, that I could possibly mix up, once I gain confidence would come in handy.

And thanks for the welcome.

Welcome to the forums. And run more accounts if you can, 3 is fun but 4 or 5 is even more fun. :thumbsup:

Oh and yeah level lots of teams under the RAF because once it is gone .... it REALLY suxs not having it.

Well it was also an intention of mine to at a later date, I would use account2 and account3 to invite account 4 and 5, and use account 1 for boosting.
But that will have to wait until I update my PC a little. So I don't want to clutter my accounts too much, and to give myself some good, unused combos.

At the moment I do have a spare, unused account, but it only has a few horde 70s on it, so unless i make a horde set, boosting with it is out of the question.

So far boxing has 100% recaptured my interest in the game, it was getting a tad stale for me.

I'm with you on that, I was getting very bored of wow til i started multi boxing, its like a whole new game now.

I'm with you on that, I was getting very bored of wow til i started multi boxing, its like a whole new game now.For sure, I also love seeing the reactions of people questing around you. They run past, stop, turn around and you get a ping of a whisper. makes me smile every time.
A lot of people seem to be interested in learning how to do it also, which is good. No one has seemed angry yet (fingers crossed).

[Enndo]

Yeah i still laugh everytime i go in a city and half the players stop what theyre doing to follow my team around lol.

Last night I got a comment "Noobs always in pairs, I do this on all on my own!" while I was in a starter area. I ignored him :)

Last night I got a comment "Noobs always in pairs, I do this on all on my own!" while I was in a starter area.whoa... now the griefers are griefing normal players that play together? totally lame.

of course, you could pull out an oldie but a goodie:

"i'm multi-boxing. solo is the new gimp."

:D

:D Feed on the Hate and turn it into rage and destroy them. :P

There are many noobs out there that call us cheaters, botters, hackers, etc... Because they do not understand what it takes to be a good boxer.

You will get lots of hate from scrubs and don't let it bother you. Just reply back to them "www.dual-boxing.com" L2MB

Most of us MB have been playing wow for so long it's become boring and this has brought us a whole new outlook on wow and other games.

People will gank you, hate you, etc... all because you box. But don't let it get you down and just have fun playing the game. Once you get to 80, you can run PvE or PvP, but PvP takes lot of practice and once you get good at it. You'll make a name really fast and people will start to figure out who your main is and target that toon specificly. So make sure to have your main toon buffed with tons of HP and survival.

Whenever someone griefed me about multiboxing, I always made a note of their toon name. and then the next day when they were asking for help for a group quest, or a dungeon. I never helped them. Childish, but satisfying :_)

Ok, so my three shaman group is closing in on 60 (currently level 50.) And I've been thinking towards the future.
For now I plan to get these guys to 60, then move on to a three hunter set-up and get them to 60.

But beyond that, I see three possible options.

Continue with three-boxing, keep leveling groups, although start with mixed groups, until my 90 days is up and then choose a group to get to 80. Upgrade to five-boxing on my current system, which I think might have some issues with handling five in it's current state. Upgrade my system(and possibly my second system to give to my sister) to a state where it would run five boxing well, and then start the five boxing.However, option 2 and 3 bring me to the next decision. If I go to five-boxing, I will go with Pally + four shaman to begin with. But do I want to set it up in a way that
all characters get RAF bonus? Or should I, says, Give a paladin 60 levels from my first lot, level him a bit, gear him a bit and then use him to boost.
Where account two -> account four and account three -> account five, giving those four RAF (although somewhat limited) for me to just run through things with my
new paladin.

All comments/advice welcome on what you guys think I should do.
Also, I understand that it would be recommended I have 8+gb of RAM for five-boxing?

Thanks, ioho.

So I've decided (that was fast!) that I'm not going to upgrade my current system, I'm going to just buy a new computer.
My sister has been complaining about her computer getting old and slow, so I'm going to give her my old one (for a small
fee of course) and use that to spend a bit more on my new computer.

Now the decision I have is how much I am willing to spend on this new system, and when I'm going to get it.

So I'm going to upgrade to five boxing (boosting four shamans to 60, then adding a prot pally in there), this will give the next patch
time to come out to save me plenty of gold on mounts.

So my current shaman are level 56, I'm going to leave them there for a bit and start on my next lot - I'm dying to try out triple hunters
for some strange reason.

Always open to suggestions on specs for a new computer for five boxing, so feel free to give any advice.

thanks, ioho
