Hey dudes

This is my first post here so be gental. So you know i have searched the internet for this answer but theres so many results that are meaningless i thought i would just logon and ask.

Basically im testing out Dual Boxing on a single computer. My computer seems to run 2 accounts just fine with no FPS issues at all. I thought i would level 2 druids (just to get used to DBing) but when i started to kill stuff at lvl1, only my "main" character got any XP and the second "following" character didnt get anything. I had to take him off follow, go and kill things to match the XP gain.

Im taking it this is not normal? Or is it?

Thanks

Scott

Step 1. Create new toons on multiple accounts.

Step 2. ?

Step 3. Grind Boars to 80 and Win.


How can you fail with that strat. 8| ?( ^^

Haha yeah guilty of silliness here, too; remember to check the chat settings to display the experience as well, forgot to do that once.

lol... my Shaman is 1/2 a level ahead of my Warlock because I did this. I only noticed when I wasn't getting 3x xp that there was a problem.

I have my toons set up using [target=leadername-target] so they won't actually attack unless they are grouped. This, however, doesn't stop me from checking the non-functional characters spells and keybindings before I look to see if they are grouped.

Excited-rush-mob-smasing FTW!!!!lol, this reminds me of leveling my warrior and mages yesterday. I was doing fine, same exp and all up to like level 23. Then I got a few runs from a friend in SM and died at some point on every toon. Now they level all crazy...

My biggest problem is remembering to disable the keybindings that switch your action bars. 'WHY ISN'T MY SLAVE DOING ANYTHING?!?" *blank action bar*
