WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILLLBUUUURR!
(think Flintstones)
Most people do a diamond setup like this:
..X
XXX
..X
This isn't illegal. All you do is bind different movements to the same key:
Main toon- backwards = ~
Toon1- strafe right = ~
Toon2- strafe left = ~
Toon3-forward = ~
Toon4-backward = ~
So, when you hit ~ they all move in different directions.
Yes it's legal and here's a hint...when you next log into WoW, hit esc, click on keybindings and enjoy figuring it out :D
[EDIT]
Bah, Gallo...build a man a fire, he's warm for a day....set a man on fire, he's warm the rest of his life :)
Might just be me but I'd rather give people hints on where to start looking and at least see them try to help themselves before spoon-feeding them...especially when all the answers are pretty much already available here.

I think basically how it is done is by rebinding a particular key for different movements on alts. Say I pick 'p', I rebind it on alt 1+2 to strafe right and alt 3+4 to strafe left, so when it's pressed they move out from their original position (1+2 go right, 3+4 go left). I think two of the alts need to walk (as opposed to run) left/right for a proper formation, but never having done that myself I can't say anymore about it. I believe that there is a sticky explaining different formations and how to bind them.
As you're just rebinding movements it's allowed, it's just a different movement for each alt, so no different from pressing 2 and getting a consecrate, fireball, shadowbolt and heal cast on different toons (depending on what each alt has bound to '2').
Generally I would use this route as well... but I like to debunk any thoughts that anything is "illegal" ASAP.Quote:

yeah, understand that....guess I was a little too subtle by just pointing them in the direction of their WoW options :)
It's hard to be patient with noobs when you know most there is to know about multiboxing already. Patience is a virtue young padawan :)Quote:

On my main acct, I have Arrow keys unbound
On my 2nd acct, I have left arrow as strafe left, and right arrow as strafe right
On my 3rd acct, I have left arrow as strafe RIGHT and right arrow as strafe LEFT
With keyclone unpaused, I press Left Arrow for a second and my main stays still, alt1 moves left, alt2 moves right, and I Have a Triforce of Death >D
