Greatest Multiboxing Moment... ready, go!

[Binzyrd]

Let's hear what your greatest multiboxing moment was! Feel free to include a screenshot too. It could be something like a big kill you've made, awesome loot you got, completing a quest, or even something simple like figuring out how to keep all of your characters together in a game that doesn't have autofollow ;). Really it doesn't have to be anything super amazing, just share something you've done with your multiboxing team so others can see what you've been up to!

Ready, go!

Completing first heroic boss in cata . Doing same boss OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER. Then realising there is more to life than having 3 eyes and OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER. Then getting a shiny and feeling depressed about it. I'm an explorer by nature and gear grind are really bad, sad and ruining games.

Multibox raiding in wotlk. The game has been pretty meh since then tbh.

Had some epic av games that ill never see again.

Hey every thing has to come to a end somtimes

My "moment" was protracted.

I played Vanguard (solo) at launch in a great guild for about a year. But, at the time, I was traveling a lot for work which meant I was behind the leveling curve and so missed out on quite a bit of stuff. It always seemed that everyone else was ready to move on before I got the quest lines and the dungeons finished.

So, after I got into multiboxing I gradually saw that it would be possible to make a full group of 6 mixed classes and go back and do all the things I had missed out on doing. So, I made a new team and set about seeing all the great content Vanguard has to offer. Some highlights for me included:
* Doing the full weapon quest line in Tomb of Lord Tsang
* Doing the full HL and URT quest lines
* Doing the full Ruins of Trengal Keep quest line
* Getting a complete set of Wardship Armour on all 6 characters
* Doing the full weapon quest line in Graystone (and getting the skeleton illusion item on all 6 characters)
* doing the full CIS questline
* Doing the Rahz Inkur Helmet quest line (with a group of 6 when we used to take 2 groups in there as a guild)
* Spending days wandering around Dargun's Tomb
* Just picking a random dungeon in my level range that I've never been to, turning off XP, and going and exploring it completely.

See the link in my sig for some screenshots.

Mine came in the Burning Crusade, before I even knew what multiboxing was. 5 identical female Draenai hunters came walking by in follow, one-shotting everything. OMG that was so intriguing that I just had to learn how to do it.

Sorry its such a simple reason, but its the only thing I will remember, nothing else about boxing has come close yet.

[Khatovar]

I guess my most impressive feat was 5* Exalted (http://www.dual-boxing.com/threads/32885-The-5-Who-Were-Taken-to-exalted), though getting my guild to 25 (http://www.dual-boxing.com/entries/51-Guild-Go-Ding) was also pretty awesome (http://www.dual-boxing.com/commons/screenshot/135-Guild-Level-25%2C-whooties!). It was pretty cool when I finally got Ashes (http://genus-industri.us/gi_images/gaming/screenshots/ashes.jpg) to drop and I was surprisingly happy when I finished up my team's transmog (http://genus-industri.us/gi_images/gaming/screenshots/wowtransmog.jpg) set, too {raarrr (http://genus-industri.us/gi_images/gaming/screenshots/wowtransmog1.jpg)}.

But none of that was really multiboxing. After the horrible suckage that was Cata, my biggest thrill was the day I completed all of the MoP heroics (http://genus-industri.us/gi_images/gaming/screenshots/mophero.jpg). There's stuff in Cata I still probably can't do and it felt great being able to do everything in MoP with a fair amount of challenge as a melee team.

The things that give me the biggest rush though is figuring things out. I can't tell you how many times I get out of bed to jot down notes on things I want to figure out how to do. Seriously, I've had waaaay more "dancing around the living room like a giddy fool" moments from figuring out how to do something with my HotKeyNet code or UI than I've ever had in game.

Early in MoP I leveled a couple of warriors to 90 just for a laugh and kitted them out in the crafted pvp gear to run the odd battleground. For an EXTRA laugh I thought I'd do an arena just for the hell of it and thinking I'd get destroyed but, to my amazement, I absolutely stomped the opposition

Been multi-boxing 2's for my weekly cap ever since:D (to be fair it was when warriors were gods in early MoP, but still works well today in 5.2)

[zenga]

My greatest satisfaction was when I realised that multiboxing helped me becoming a fairly decent progress raider fairly fast. I started WoW in wotlk, and decided to multibox from day 1, with the sole intent to catch up with more seasoned players (after a year of multiboxing cq playing wow I had a much broader class/role knowledge than most of my guildmates, and most definitely a better understanding for boss mechanics. My biggest deception was when I realised that multiboxing was actually holding me back in advancing solo from a certain point, most definitely in pvp.

[Baltyre]

Back in wotlk, i had a 5 man team. In Wintergrap, i dismount directly on the enemy base and with ing bombs i was able to destroy the door and win by myself.

It was back when BG give no XP, a 5 man twink 19

[suicidesspyder]

Mine 5 locks at lvl 63 taking out a level 85 gnome lock and making him rez run doing it again and then having him get on horde side rage then quit lol.

[Toonarmy]

Probably have to be 5 shammies at the end BC (I think, maybe it was the start of WotLK) when I somehow stumbled onto an Arena title (still have no idea how that happened)

If not that, then definitely Pally and 4 DK's in AV after Ualaa put together the text guide of Mosg2's Manifesto. That combo (ualaa and mosg2) basically turned pally and 4dk's into God Mode (at least for me). Thx guys. You are the best!

[Shodokan]

Being the highest rated boxer for an entire expansion with dks + hpal... and also i loved my quad ret + dk in wrath.

I had a lot of fun, too bad the game just isn't fun to me anymore :(

[Longshot17]

Mine is PvE... from WoTLK... the pinnacle for MB in WoW, imo.

Tie between Devourer of Souls and and Falric/Marwyn. (I died just a few times on those encounters :p)

[Ellay]

Seeing this community grow :) and have quality people in it.

[cmeche]

For me it was Wintergrasp during wotlk. My first maxed 5 man team was a few months into wotlk and playing on a pve server(cause I didn't really know better)....nobody was ever flagged. So WG was my only shot to wpvp. And looking back now, I kick myself for how little I understood the shaman class then, but how well they performed boxed. Which is the completely opposite now.

My favorite part was flying into the room where you entered the raid( after horde had won WG) and just completely wiping half the raid waiting outside this instance. And then basicly camping the instance location not allowing them to enter.
Those were the days!

[daviddoran]

My proudest moment was getting the hard mode achievements in heroic dungeons with a 5 class team. I remember that boss in Drak Tharon Keep , where you had to interrupt him before he morphs into a rhino, I forget the details, but I spent WEEKS on that one boss, and when I finally got it, I was literally jumping up and down screaming with joy... My wife was very confused at the time...

I had the most fun running 5 ele shaman during AV weekends, and protecting balinda, then back capping, which numerous times we won the "perfection" achievement. It felt good to have that kind of domination, and coordination with the others to keep all the towers up, while slowly working our way down the map.

[MiRai]

I'm not entirely sure if I ever had any awesome moments where I was multiboxing a full party of five by myself, but I will say that my time spent in the guild Legion of Boom on Kil'jaeden back in Wrath (go figure) was probably the best time I had while multiboxing.

We usually had a ton of people online at one time:

906

And they were usually trying to do raids or other events:

902

I also made a not-so-great video that involved some random world PvP with a few LoB members:


http://youtu.be/uIao0uEueYI


After Cataclysm hit and before I moved to Horde I always like to hang out in Tol Barad with Kicksome when he was 10-boxing (all the characters with 'Sweet' as a prefix were him):

903

And after Beeq (runtu) showed the world that 5x Mages were pretty badass there was a massive re-roll in LoB:

904

My most recent 'moment' in WoW was when I finally picked up and started using the pro system with ISBoxer. I know I've been talking about this here and there lately and there will be some videos in the near future detailing it. ;) But as it stands right now, my best moments were back in Wrath as most other people mentioned. In the post right above mine, Dave talks about doing Alterac Valley and I was with him during a handful of those providing support CC as a Prot Warrior back in the day. Good times.

[JohnGabriel]

Man that was impressive, all those boxers online at once. Too me it still seems so rare.

[EaTCarbS]

Ha, I remember that video. Man, damn nostalgia... Wrath was the best!

[Baltyre]

I'm sure we can work on a jamba-plugin to make a virtual cross realm guild to make that feeling alive again.

[Acidburning]

Wotlk was prob the most fun pvp boxing. Had a 4man shaman team. I used to gank and gank and gank during the Wintergrasp fishing daily. Gave the alliance an option. Caused funny drama on the forums, hehe.

It was definitely a lot of fun, but guild chat would still be quiet most of the time because everyone multiboxing was doing their own thing. :)

It was and I wish I had gotten more footage. I thought I had more footage lying around on an old HDD, but I can't see to find it anymore.

That's hilarious. I may have to use something like this in the future (inspirational credit will be given where inspirational credit is due). :)

I vote yes!

I have had many great moments, its kind of hard to pinpoint the "greatest". But i have a few moments that are turning point type moments. First one was when i started a second account during EQ, when there was no /follow. I used two PCs and used a combo of autorun and steering both toons at the same time to get my guys around. So one of those moments was the day i read patch notes and they had added a new feature "/follow" with a nice warning " be careful when following around high ledges, it could be fatal' ( or somthing like that). It was not long after that I started adding accounts. Huzza for /follow!

I boxed every MMO after that that hard way ..multi PCs or alt-tab ( AO, SWG, DAoC etc.. ) So my next greatest moment was the day I was told about this site and keyclone! The rest is history!

[tatanka7th]

Speaking of /follow in EQ. I created my first char in the late summer of 2000, and met up with the friends who got me into the game. They had me /follow, so they could show me where things were in my home city..... Kelethin! So, of course, they cut a corner too sharply, and I fell off the platform and died, within 5 minutes of creating my first char.

And after almost 14 years, that's the only corpse I was never able to retrieve, so I never even turned in my note to the Druid guild master :)

This reminded me of the first time my nephew played. I was showing him around and he ended up clicking on a flagged high level horde and being killed 5 minutes after he started playing.

[Gomotron]

My most memorable MB moment was back in the day when I MB'd EQ. I broke Fear with my team although I couldn't clear it all myself due to freaking Cazic Thule's zone-wide Death Touch.

My setup at the time was horribly crude. So crude, in fact, it was used as an example of "How not to multi box" in one of this site's guides. Hah!

[Jafula]

Mine is definitely writing and supporting Jamba. Love it.

My greatest moment was when i used my first software to control my multibox team. In around 2001 I downloaded and compiled Synergy, a mouse and keyboard broadcasting software. It was amazing to say the least!!!! After a couple of weeks mastering this software in EQ1, I was able to MT and main heal on raids, and my other guys were in top 5 dps on the same raids. Oh the POWER.... My guild was in awe. Alot of great times and bad times because of multiboxing. I wouldn't trade those memories for anything else in the world :)
