Magtheridon - US - The Multiboxer Server

Erm yes.

change the login address to us.worldofwarcraft.net or summat, theres posts about how to do that all over the Internet :P

isn't that kinda risky ? :)

Why would it be risky? You have to have US Accounts to login.

so why shall I change my login server from the European to the US Login Servers when I need to have US Account to login?

:?:

There are two issues with EU players playing on US servers and vice versa. The first, and easiest to solve, is connecting to the right realms.

The second is the fact that the servers know nothing about players from other regions. They do not have a shared user database (and nor would I expect them to, given the business model Blizzard have adopted).

So although the quick hack to connect to the US servers will work insofaras we (EU players) will indeed be able to establish a connection to the servers, the only way to actually PLAY there is to buy a whole load of US versions of the game.

Which is a shame really.

When I first started boxing, I felt the need to go it alone. I was concerned that the presence of many multiboxers on a single realm would draw attention to us, and perhaps force Blizzard to look more closely at their "spirit of the game" clause.

That remains a concern, but now I've been at it for a while, I feel the need for the support system I so sorely miss from my solo characters, and if I were playing US servers I would indeed now be re-rolling on Mag, despite the time zone difference.

Who knows? Maybe some time we'll get enough EU players on a single realm to support each other over here too. We seem to have too diverse a range of tastes for that at the moment though (I'm enjoying my Horde characters on a PvP server, for example, which is a 180 degree turn from my "home" server!).

Sorry to derail the thread with this OT stuff - feel free to split this and related posts off :)

What server are you on Otlecs? I will happily reroll...

just jumped from dual to triple boxing and the level difference is too small to power level yet too large to level together :( and I prefer Horde anyway! :)

afaik I'm together with the "oom" chars on terenas EU, don't know any other in there though

As some folks have been talking about in /guild, we need to get a big guild pic together some time. ;)

Thats a great idea, but we would have to find a good time for everyone, preferably on a weekend when more people should be on.

Hey All! Been visiting this site for awhile - full of good info. Great resource in getting setup. Touched base with Oathbreaker last night.

Gonna roll a dual-boxing team on Mag this weekend - most likely 2xShammy. See you soon.
