WoW Starter Edition and multiboxing

Hey,

I haven't played WOW in years, but when I did, I always wanted to try out multiboxing but didn't really want to spend the money on 5 accounts each month. Now that blizzard lets you play free up to level 20, i thought it would be the perfect time to try it out.

I got everything setup, but when I logged in on the starter accounts, it tells me that start account characters can not form groups.

Are there any add-ons or methods I can use to get around this?

Nope, definitely no addon or anything is gonna fix that. Allthough I not sure if those limits also exist on Recruit A Friend accounts.

You want to recruit a friend for each account you want to play from your main/paid account. And play those. Recruit A friend(RAF) gives you 300% XP and summoncapabilities.

I started a few starter acnts via RaF and they were able to group fine.

Add each other to friends lists, ask a nice normal player to invite you and your 3 friends to group and promote someone leader, then never drop group.

Free 4 boxing at 20 for life :p

If you log out for too long it drops group for you.

I believe if you are in a raid group it leaves the group together indefinately, or at least a longer timeout than regular groups.

I wonder how long it will be before someone figures out that they can farm for months at 20 farming low level stuff linen wool etc, then pay $5 to activate the AH, then let the account die, and make another... NVM that sounds too complicated for not much reward. Good for potential boxers though :)

raid does work and you can change it back to a party (rightclick says change back to party) a server reset my kill the raid group though.

For anyone that would like to 5 box for free to level 20 i would get one paid account . then the 4 other clones are free then stop XP on the main accont at level 20, for that group.
