First time boxer

[NeoGojira]

I have been wanting to Box for a long time now. My Wife plays time to time. So im going to Start boxing with hers. Im a Lock and she plays a Warrior. I wanted to know whats the Best software to use. For a week now I been trying out Hotkeynet. I have many goals to do. I was thinking of the new RAF that's out, and if there is a way to have two toons follow behide a lvl90 toon out of range to power level them up. then when they are at the same level then I can box with all of them. I would like to hear back from people one whats best to try. Software Marcos and more. Let me know or give links to whats you may think will help. For once I plan on putting my wifes toon to good use. She plays about 3 hours a month or less.

Thank you for the info/Link. I been reading it, and I think it be best for me to use ISBoxer and just pay the $50/Yr thing for it. It looks to have the most info out there that I may need to do this right.

Just a fair warning: that's against the eula/tos. If you multibox, all accounts have to be in your name, if not that's a ban-able offence (one they actually do scan/check, since it's very likely some unknown will report you when he sees you out in the world thinking that you are cheating while multiboxing).

[NeoGojira]

Ok I will ask. The last name is the same as the address on the account and was my name on the card for it. So I will ask and see

One other thing is. Is there a way to change the account info to match?

One other thing I was thinking is the RAF. Do I have to put it under the same account or just was the same account info like name and address and things?

[zenga]

If you have 2 different bnet accounts in the name of John Rambo you are fine when you multibox a toon of each account together.
If you have 2 different bnet accounts, one named John Rambo and the other one Rocky Balboa, and you group them up to multibox, then you are violating the ToS.

So put your raf accounts on the same bnet or on a new bnet with the same info as your original, and you should be fine.

As far as updating your bnet account name: that happens only in very specific situations, and most of the time they will refuse to do so, as it would be an incentive for selling accounts. A specific situation could be that someone made a bnet account with a dummy name (good internet practice in general), then buys some licences, keeps playing that account for years from the same IP and all in a sudden you need to call blizzard and the rep guy sees that 'zenga the bastard' is not a real name. In which case they will ask for info like CD keys, etc ... and you'll need to provide an ID. Long story short, your best bet is to call them and explain the situation, but you'll need a damn good reason and be able to back it up.

[NeoGojira]

Right now the accounts as the same card for payment and the same home address and they even play on the same IP (Same PC) the only thing not the same is Email, and the first name. THe last name on the accounts are the same. I even have all the keys to all the CDs for the game as well. its just one of the things is if im paying for the account, I need to use it then. the main thing im going to use the account for is to pull my RAF account in Dungeons to power level the new accounts. And I want to say thank you for pointing things like this out to me for I start Zenga. Its best to know as much as I can before I jump in to it

Look, we're not the people who make the decision if it's okay to share accounts or not, Blizzard does, so you don't have to prove anything to us. zenga was just letting you know that account sharing is against Blizzard's TOS.

If I'm remembering correctly, the TOS states that the only people you're allowed to share an account with are those that you are the legal guardian of. Otherwise, if the first and last names of the account holder do not match, then it would be considered account sharing.

So, if you go around talking in trade chat or submitting tickets to Blizzard saying, "Hey, I'm multiboxing with mine and my wife's accounts...", that you might learn the hard way that it's against their rules.

[NeoGojira]

Im not going around and saying that im using my wifes account. Not planning to be out there. If I have im going to ask Blizzard about it. I know Zenga was letting me know. Im grateful for the info that was given to me. I did not think any thing of it. It was some thing I over looked. So I been reading up on every thing and I was planning to send out a ticket and ask. I just did not know if that would be best. Or just do Dungeons and not be out in the town or cities. Im just trying to cover all bases and get as much fact first before I move to the next step.

[MiRai]

Feel free to submit a ticket and ask them anyway. Hell, maybe their policy has changed and now people who are married can share accounts between each other as long as they're together. Either way, they're not going to ban you on the spot if you get caught (I doubt such a minor offense would even warrant a ban of any sort unless you just kept getting caught). They would most likely see the names on the accounts and realize that you're married or, at least, relatives of some sort.

That rule is only in place so that they don't have to deal with all the account drama that could possibly end up happening. It's easier for them to just say: Unless you are the legal guardian of a minor, then account sharing of any sort is not allowed, period. This way they don't have to deal with any if, ands, or buts.

I could honestly care less who plays their spouse's account, just as long as they're not on this forum spreading misinformation and telling people that it's allowed and within the TOS.

[NeoGojira]

thank you MiRai. I did not know what was truly allowed and im happy to say that there are people here that do help. I been on forums before where people really did not care about the new guy to even help.

WoW offers free trials where you can play up to level 20 for free (https://us.battle.net/account/creation/wow/signup/). If you want to try it out, I suggest you start with free trial accounts in your own name on your own BNet. You should never need to share an account in order to test out multiboxing. I myself have an entire team of free accounts for trying stuff on when my real accounts are unsubscribed.

As far as to what is allowed, we have a collection of all the blue posts on multiboxing (http://www.dual-boxing.com/threads/46453-Blues-on-Boxing) from back when stickied in the General section. Blues went to pretty extraordinary lengths to elaborate on what is and is not allowed in regards to multiboxing.

[Andreauk]

I called them because my son is on my Battle.net & we were getting each others achievements and people in our guild were getting suspicious - no way we can be in Ulduar and battlegrounds at the same time.. so I called them up and told them my son was on it and they told me that your own kids can be on my battle.net and once 18 I should move him onto his own.. but otherwise it was fine.. they put a note on my account. They don't like couples sharing incase of personal disputes.. but no idea if it's actually allowed.

[Khatovar]

A spouse is still not allowed. Here's a couple of recent blues on it -

Vrakthris (http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/9164977144) - 5/31/2013 -

Simply put, Cavtrooper, no.

Each account may only be accessed by a single adult, registered to the account itself. The Battle.net account itself should also be in that person's name.

She needs her own as do you.


Orlyia (http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/4081811696?page=2#21) - 2/22/2012 -

Edited that to the important parts for you - and the answer is no. You cannot share an account with ANYONE except one minor child that you are either the parent or legal guardian of.

Not your BFF, Spouse, in-laws, out-laws or Siamese cat. :P

[NeoGojira]

We'll it can't hurt to ask and see. If not then I use her the old way and have her just run Dungeons for my raf and have some one in my house watch my raf or run using her

[NeoGojira]

We'll I had a chat with a GameMaster and I copied the chat just In case. I now know what Black and white on issues and what's in the grey zone that I can do. Thanks to every one who wrote me and helped me out

Make sure you don't let us know. ;)

LMAO.That is some thing im not putting out there unless some one send a mail or some thing. because I do not want to put some thing out there that may get some one in trouble

If it says anything other than what the Blues have said in the above posts, then it's probably wrong. GMs are not the same as Blues, they are frontline support. There are more than a few instances of people who have been banned because GMs don't understand what multiboxing is, and there are also instances of people being told that something is OK by a GM when it is not. The exact same people could get the exact opposite result from a different GM. Blue posts always trump GMs.

[NeoGojira]

That's why I do not say what I was told. I was able to read the blue and the blues was about making a wife's account part of that persons account

[NeoGojira]

I mainly just going to use my RAF accounts that I will be making. Im going from HotKeyNet to ISBoxer. Unless someone knows some thing that's better

If you're willing to script yourself, HKN is free.
AHK (Auto Hot Key) is your alternative, for scripting.

IS Boxer has a GUI, and Lax gives amazing support.
I don't know of anything that compares to what it can do.

If you're shopping around...
Keyclone is $20 once, for a lifetime license... but it's not as advanced as HKN/ISBoxer.
Game Commander Pro, haven't heard from them in a while, but their product looked good a few years back.
Pwnboxer is out there too, but it costs more than IS Boxer and isn't as powerful.
