[WoW] - Is this possible to do?

[Toma44]

Right heres my question but Im pretty sure i alreayd know the answer but want to see if other people think different.

Ive got 1 computer, I have 2 WoW accounts, I have G15 KEyboard, Is it possible to play these 2 account at the same time and control them at the same time?

For the last few months ive had them both open in windowed mode and switching back to them for heals etc, But i feel i could possible use the "G" keys on the G15 keyboard to control the priest healing me and leave the deafult keys for my Warrior, How possible is this?

Sorry its not "Dual-Boxing" question but i feel the wise minds of this forum should know a reasonable answer.

Thank in advance to all replies.

It is dual-boxing imo, even if you're only using 1PC :)

And yes, it's possible, KeyClone or one of the other available pieces of software talked about on these forums can do what you're looking for and just require a little time and patience to setup, and some clever macro work (see the macro thread)

[Otlecs]

In short, yes it's entirely possible.

There are lots of threads answering similar questions in these forums, and going into a great deal of detail in some cases, so please do make some time to read through the old posts.

The tools of interest will be Keyclone (http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums2/viewtopic.php?t=499) and/or AutoHotKey (http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums2/viewtopic.php?t=17).

Have fun!

Correct me if I am wrong, but I'm not sure this is entirely safe...


Someone mentioned that if a WoW program is in the background but is still being used that it might spark Blizzard's suspicion on it being a bot...

And since one WoW would have to be in the front...yeah...I don't know, maybe they are still both in the "front" and not in the "background".

[MrLonghair]

Nah, nobody has been punished for using AHK/KeyClone with multiple clients on one computer yet, and won't be unless they're botting or using other illegal hacks together with it.

(or third party macroing software that automates game processes)

[HPAVC]

The human 'presses one and only one key' and the programmable keyboard or software input service does 'presses key [1], wait 1.75sec, press key [1] again, wait 1.75sec, press key [1] again, wait 1.75sec, press key [1] again' stuff. Which is sometimes possible with the uber-logitech/gateway keyboards and possibly these software packages.

That type of stuff is what Blizzard more than frowns upon.

Where with the keyclone devices you actually pressing keys at a 1 to 1 press to action ratio.
