Okay so i've read the stickies from Wiki, and i still don't understand it.

Like i'm wanting to 2box two mages on my one PC, but i can't figure out the programs or what to do...
I thought this was suppost to be some what easy, but I guess i was wrong lol.

But could i get some help setting this up? I have no money so i can't get the key clone, but i'm going to run 2 WoW accounts with 1 computer.

edit: added last line and Understand.

A common misconception brought about by ani-mbers on the official forums :D

I still don't understand how to 2box. Like i have Autohotkey now, but thats about it...
I don't understand a lot of this mumbo jumbo, but i'd love to be able to 2 box two shamans, or two mages to see some real firepower.

If you want it to be a little easier then hold off on dual boxing for a month and use the $15 you save from the second account towards the $20 cost of keyclone. Apart from that, if you are having trouble with the info presented in the stickies and the wiki then perhaps dual-boxing is not for you...it only gets harder and more complicated.

Correct. You were wrong.

All the information you need really IS already right here for the taking. There are no turn-key solutions here (though KC is pretty close actually!) and I don't believe for one moment that you've read all the stickies and the relevant parts of the Wiki.

You've chosen AHK as your software boxing solution. That's fine - we have plenty of AHK expertise around here - but Keyclone will get you up and running in minutes (literally), and is especially useful if you're not already familiar with scripting and/or the vagaries of AHK itself.

If you post a specific question, and you'll find people falling over themselves to help you, but you can't expect people to hold your hand through the entire process.

Your turn.

I got started pretty fast using AutoHotKey just by reading the stickies, I suggest you do the same. ;)

Ask and you shall receive, but look first before you ask or be prepared to get flamed.

Think I've run into about 20+ people while multiboxing that thought it was the coolest thing in the world, they try to do it and I never hear from them again. Someone needs to record a video of themselves sitting at the computer with multiple wows open and macro windows open writing , breaking, fixing macros over and over :P
