which MMORPG is best to multibox

Just by curiosity, which MMORPG is best (or easiest) to multibox?
I've only multiboxed WoW and I do love the way macros are handled. Do the other MMO out there have similar macro abilities?

I've played LOTRO and AoC as singleplayer some years ago but never bothered to check out any macro capabilities.

When I played LOTRO in 2007-2008 I was greatly annoyed by the fact that many group quests were forced on the player to move the story forward, in fact this was the main reason I stopped playing LOTRO. Back then I didn't even know multiboxing existed, If I had known I most likely would have tested to do it in LOTRO.

EQ1 Was Kinda better in that you could put delays and cast as many spells as you could fit in 5 lines. So with one key press you could do 5 spells. Not sure if its still that way or if EQ2 does the same. Just google the mmo and "macro delay" and see which ones allow timed delay commands.

If you're looking for the "most configurable" game that has the best in-game macro options, that would be WoW.

Honestly, though, with some of the stuff I'm seeing in ISBoxer, that app has leveled the playing field quite a lot. Even with it, though, the ISBoxer addon for WoW makes things like FTL so damned easy to set up that WoW is probably also the easiest to get up and running.

I can only agree with this. WoW is by far the most configurable and multiboxing friendly game there is (That I
am aware of).

WOW hands down. With all the addons and everything- I don't think any other game can compare to its flexibility.

LOTRO is a great game and is ok to multibox. They've changed it much since you played and it's no problem to solo to max level now. It's also free to play and that can be viewed as a plus or negative. Recently I checked back on the game and it seems to be doing really well.

From a feature set, almost certainly Warcraft.

But the correct answer will always be, whichever is the most fun for you.

I thought this as well but then I went back and played on the Fippy Darkpaw progression server, and realized that EQ sucks hard.

Total grindfest at the early levels. And irritating as all get out once I got back into the game. Gave up once I realized that everyone was rolling Mages due to their OP pets.
