Hope him talking about policy possibly changing in future is not gonna happen anytime soon. I doubt it will.

BTW keyclone FTW, I refer ppl to this site when they have questions and seem interested in learning.

There are always gonna be ppl that complain but I still like it lol.

I have been nicknamed "The Twins" on my server and im only lvl 16.

Kinda nice standing out a bit but I still try to play it low key to avoid harrasment.

Well good luck to any new multi boxers and thanks for you vets that have inspired me so far.. I am thinking about going 4-5 shammies :D

AT THIS TIME sounds ominous, does it not?

[amalgam]

Sounds to me like something is in the works....or that GM likes to instill fear into our hearts by saying we need to basically make the policies page our browser's home page.

Eye r sad.

[Ellay]

I think they are required to state stuff like that, as nothing is ever set in stone. Overall it appears GM's are well versed with dual-boxers and have no gripe against it.

[Xzin]

WoW needs an approved 3rd party program program, like what UO does.

And Keyclone should be on it.

[skarlot]

thats one reservation I have about releasing my code, someone mods it slightly to a bot, and it gets wardened (maybe its not how warden works now, but who knows in the future *shrug*) and no one can use it ..... maybe im paranoid?.. lol, an approved program would be a great thing for developers.

[Los]

The 'AT THIS TIME' is indeed a bit 'mweeh'.. i'll bet it was a female gm, who was a bit unsure about everything. You know how they get once a month...

Besides that, having one program doing that would be swell imo.

[kayb]

Dudes...it's been "AT THIS TIME" for 3 years.

"AT THIS TIME we enjoy making money on people who wanna play multiple characters at the same time. In the future we might not enjoy making money. Thank you and good-bye!"

[Hotnutz]

lol ya I assumed it was something they are supposed to say, at least he wasnt too robotic with the cut and paste answers.

Granted I didn't ask about keyclone, I know u can't script and stuff with it and it broadcasts the keys so it shouldn't be a problem, BUT I didn't want to go down that road about programs...

I knew that if I did the conversation would be geared toward third party programs and I just wanted to know if they had a problem with multiboxing, also the answers would probably be to read the policies etc etc.

And anyways with the times I've been reported im sure they checked the lil warden log and whatnot, plus I had keyclone running while I had the GM on the horn.

So my understanding on the whole thing is......

Multiboxing=OK
Blizzard=We are money hungry bastards and will allow you to pay us more

;P

The At this time isnt whats alarming, the alarming thing is that he's telling you to check the eula in the near future

[dniem]

I dont see nothing alarming in there, Blizzard knows that people keep files on their GMs conversation. They are just protecting themselves into saying those sort of things. Like some said already, "At this time" only means it's not permanent, but like alot of people said, it has been this way from the beginning now and I don't see why it would be otherwise.

And the part about checking the EULA, well not only we but I think everyone or anyone should do it, just to follow up the changes of the game. The GM just wanted to make sure that if they ever change it, and people get banned because they were unaware, that they could be blamed for it.

Multiboxing is legal and I believe it will be for ever, at least in WoW.

QFT

AT THIS TIME we like your money so please keep giving it to us but just to CYA, make sure to check the policy page frequently.

We do not prevent people from owning multiple accounts, nor playing those accounts simultaneously as long as they abide by our Terms of Use and EULA.

Multiply Boxing while not common, has been done in many MMO's, and as long as you steer clear of using Third Party Programs to automate the game play it is a perfectly legitimate practice.
