Hey guys! I've read all the stickies, and have purchased Keyclone (love it btw). I'm at work right now so I can not post my system requirements in regards to what my PC can handle. I'm pretty positive that I'm okay in that department as I've been tri-boxing three new mages using Keyclone and Maximizer with the PiP enabled to teach myself a few things. I actually have a Shaman, Warlock, Mage all of them are already level 70 that I intend to do my boxing with. So my questions are in regards to that. I do to primarily play these three together in PvP. My shaman is enhancement but I intend to purchase that starter elemental set that came out in 2.4. The warlock is SL/SL - I'm going to probably be changing him to Destro. The mage is a PoM/Pyro build and I plan on leaving him right there.

Any suggestions on keybind (using a regular dell keyboard & mouse) layouts/macros/addons for three different classes? Is it even possible or would it be too difficult to run this setup? While I do enjoy being able to solely play the game with my own characters, I do still enjoy talking over Vent. My vent is always jacking up when I'm running the three accounts w/ Keyclone. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Should I just scrap this idea all together and level up 2 other shaman, locks, or mages to join one of the level 70's as a same class trio? The auto accept script that is posted in the beginner section does not seem to work for me? I got the inviting them down, but my alts do not auto accept the quests, groups, rezzes, etc. Suggestions? Alot of this stuff is pretty complicated but I've managed to figure most of it out by reading all the documentation here, and I just want to say you've guys have done a wonderful job with the wealth of information that is to be had. Thanks for bearing with me, and this new aspect of the game is a blast!!!

- WS.First off, welcome to the world of multiboxing! I can't answer all of your questions, but I will answer what I can.

Any suggestions on keybind (using a regular dell keyboard & mouse) layouts/macros/addons for three different classes? Is it even possible or would it be too difficult to run this setup?
One thing that I have seen people do who play multiple classes, is they start an Excel document with all of the spells of each class. In this document, they list similar spells together so they can bind similar spells to similar keys. For example, if you had a Warlock, Priest, and Mage -- the similar damage spell (at level 1) would be Shadow Bolt, Firebolt, & Smite. Or, have it so when a warlock casts Life Tap, the Priest Automatically casts a Renew on him/her. Of course, it will change depending on which 3 clases you choose. Each spell could be bound to the same key on each character. Hope that makes sense.
I've heard it's not too difficult to do, it's just sitting down and figuring out similarities between them to make your life easier, and then go from there.

Should I just scrap this idea all together and level up 2 other shaman, locks, or mages to join one of the level 70's as a same class trio?
You could always try out a few combinations to level 10 and see which one you like the best. That's what I did. I heard Shaman x3 was great, and I tried it, but I didn't like it. I also tried 3 mages, but the one I have loved the most so far is 3 warlocks, and it's probably going to end up being my main trio. You really shouldn't take anyone's opinion on this question, but your own. Play what you want to play, experiment, and if it doesn't work, tweak it, or try something else. You'll have fun with whatever you choose!

The auto accept script that is posted in the beginner section does not seem to work for me? I got the inviting them down, but my alts do not auto accept the quests, groups, rezzes, etc. Suggestions?
If your macro is correct, it sounds like you may have a binding problem. You may want to double check everything. Make sure the macro is the same word for word, make sure they each have the binding set. If everything is set correctly, I honestly do not know what the problem could be.



The BIG Button:

/script AcceptGroup();
/script AcceptQuest();
/script AcceptTrade();
/script RetrieveCorpse();
/script RepopMe();


I hope this helps at least a little. I am new to multiboxing myself, and loving it! I don't think I'll ever go back to solo!

Good luck!

Good luck!Thanks for the awesome reply. I'll take a look at my accept macro again I think I'm going to probably just grab that TwoBoxToolkit addon. It seems to have stuff setup to take care of all that for me. Well, one huge benefit of playing the Shaman/Lock/Mage is that they're all level 70 already and I would not have to spend the countless hours grinding and questing out the exp. On the downside to that is that I'm not going to have that invaluable experience of already being skilled at playing three toons at once. The excel spreadsheet idea is wonderful and I'm going to actually do that right now and see if I can set something up. Thanks again for the reply.
