Setting up Multiple Accounts

[cakesarepies]

Hi,
I have a question about account setup. Right now I have 2 accounts that are not merged from 2 different emails. How do people generally go about setting up the 5 accounts for multiboxing? Do you have 5 different accounts from 5 different emails? Or can you launch each account even if they are merged from one bnet? I read somewhere that only 2 battle.net launchers can be open at once. How do you get 5 open at once? I am planning to run 5 accounts from one computer.

As far as getting all account characters to max 120 level , do people buy the Heroic version of the complete edition to get the 120 boost and up to current content? Or is there a cheaper way to go about this? Thanks

Generally people use 1 battle net (ie 1 email) for 8, then buy a second bnet at that point. Unless you have some particular reason it's nice to be able to share your mounts, toys, transmogs, etc

You don't need to launch wow through the launcher, but since I only have 16 accounts I haven't bothered to try whether you can launch 3 battle net launchers.

Cake: basically you log into your main accounts battlenet account. There you can see the game you have so far, named "wow1" (it might be named something else though). You can there add more accounts, up to "wow8". (if you have another attitional battlenet account, you can send in a ticket and ask if that battlenet account an be "merged" with your main battlenet: then it will later show up as "wow2"). When you log into the games later on, you will need to just adjust which "wow" you want to log into. You insert that info in isboxer. Like: toon named "cakemonster": opens (is located on) "email...wow3" and so on.


Sidenote:
you can log into multiple battlenet accounts aswell, thought ive never had any launchers open when i log in (when i launch the games using isboxer).

Ah ok gotcha, that is much easier than I thought. So even though the accounts are merged on one bnet you still have to buy shadowlands for each one?

Yes sir... you have to buy games and have a subscription for each game/account. One full battlenet account = 8 games/accounts = 8 times the costs.

I have three accounts that need upgrades. Two are Legion game status and the third is a starter edition. Would it be better for me to wait to buy shadowlands on them after its launch? I read that BFA will be included after that. Is that correct? Paying the extra money for BFA on three accounts seems silly at this point.

If you want the boosts included with BFA, then you buy now, but if you don't, then you wait.
