Hi all,
I was introduced to this site a little more that a week ago, and thought the idée of dual, or multi-boxing was just amazing.
Since I already spent several hours appreciating this forum and the experience here in. I thought it would be appropriate to introduce myself and chare my initial experience. By the way I live in Sweden and play at Al’Akir-EU.
I played WoW mainly before TBC came out. Once TBC was out and I hit 70 with my shaman I got bored. Multiboxing however brings a new twist to it….
So Friday I ordered (and picked up) 3 x computers with
AMD SEMPRON 3600+ AM2 64-BIT
Kingston 1024 MB DDR2 667MHZ
DIAMONDMAX10 80GB DMA1SATA
LG DVD+-RW DL
Palit pcie 7300LE 128MB/512MB DVI TV,DDR3
Not the hottest spec I the world but serves the purpose well ;)
I also picked up 3 pre-owed 15” monitors.
I hade two computers before. One sort of new and the other one 2-3 years old. I also had a 24” Dell and a 19” Dell.
I already hade 2 WoW accounts. For the 3 additional accounts needed I signed 3 guest/trial account.
So Friday was installing the 3 computers, sorting out the additional accounts and have Synergy and stuff sorted. Saturday I started my five-boxing experience. I use the modified Synergy with key broadcasting for control of the 5 computers.
My 5 – box party consists of 5 x orc shamans. The main reason for this it: Im lazy. I played shaman before. And having more than 1 class would never work (I had trouble remembering the key bindings on one char). I know a 5 man shaman set up i already out there, and frankly i’ll take my hat of for team xbox. I will never get that good. Xbox, your videos are just amazing.
So far I think multiboxing is wonderful. Although there has already been quite a few /w and chat in general about me. And a serious amount of ppl thinking I’m botting. But I guess that goes with the territory.
One thing worth mentioning is when using the trail account you can not trade, use auction house and thinks like that. That causes a problem because I usually loot every thing with my main. So the char on trial account don’t really have loot to sell. And I can’t pass money from my main to these trails. So it’s hard to get $ to train new spells and things like that.
