Hello,
I have been reading these forums for a few weeks now, or at least since I started pondering the jump from solo play to my first team. Pally 3x Mage Shaman. all of them level 7 at the moment but still a WIP as I con't to learn to how use Isboxer. (greatest soft wear ever written IMHOM). Rolled them on KJ Alliance side of course in the hopes of one day running with the big dogs so to speak.

Fabulous. Welcome to the funz.

I read some big long blog post a few days ago from one of the main players in one of those elite progression guilds. He went on and on about how the game he loved had turned sour for him and that the game was too easy and that he had all the gear he could want already and he might play another alt but couldn't bear the thought of leveling another one up. So he was quitting in a sad and public way.

I was like... HE-LL-O! You my friend, need to be introduced into the wonderful world of boxing!

Need a challenge? Try 10-boxing ICC solo!

Gearing up too easy? Try gearing up 10 toons at once! (Or in my case more, but I digress)

Wanna play a different class? Oh, wait, you have four "extra" free ones for every one you'd level normally. In two teams you can have basically every class you'd want.

Anyway, glad you've joined the ranks.

Seems to be a theme progression actually. Most boxers I know are ex-Raiders (I quit raiding soon after BC came out, and moved to 5-boxing).

Hope KJ works out for you.

My active team is on Cael, which we're trying to turn into the unofficial Aussie/Oceanic multiboxing realm (notice the plug... lol).

Look forward to hearing your experiences on leveling and if you don't already have it, I suggest getting Jamba (multiboxers add-on, extremely useful and well done).

TY, everything has been super good so far, I am really enjoying my team. I had always been horde till this point so leveling alliance is quiet a new experience for me.
Merc so your post on the marrowgar solo, can't post there in general as of yet. But HUGE grats on that one.

Welcomz! I was in a world top 10 guild back in vanilla WoW. After about 9 months of 5 days a week 12-16 hour days I was all but burnt out of raiding going into BC. By the time BT came out I was pretty much done with the game or so I thought...Then I found multi-boxing and tbh I'm having much more fun playing casually as a MB'er than I did even when I was playing among the "world's best".

There is a drive by firing squad looking for my horde toons tonight so hope to see you around...

No, they are still much to young for that, still working out the control or least making the slaves do what I want them to do when I want them to do it, timing ( I think) or adapting to certain classes that I have not had the chance to play and then playing all of those at once.

Ya know it's funny how mutiboxing can change someones play style. I used to be a hardcore raider too before I 5 boxed :)

I used to be a hardcore raider as well I can often remember the 12 hour slog marathons in Molten Core lol. Currently trying out ICC 10 with a few RL friends and my boxers trying to work out if I can take down the first boss or not. We seem to do ok on Trash mobs tho be making a serious attempt later this week.

Oh, you definitely can. The only question is if your buddies are patient and rich enough to go through the learning it will take to do it. A couple of us have soloed him already, so you are just a bit of preparation and wipes away.
