Well of course with Linux anything goes because you've got the source code to the operating system and to the Win32 emulation layer (Wine) so you can fake it to do anything you want. I've always had a difficult time running more than one instance of WoW under Wine though.Quote:

Not sure about Mac.
I don't buy this at all. first of all, they could just restrict it and call it an offense now. all GM conversations and Blue posts indicate that they will never ban this mode of play.
they would never do the thing with the cd key. how many people use one computer for multiple accounts? i know several. They are younger people who share a family comp and use 1 copy of the game on 1 comp...but when each brother logs in , it's to their own account.
how about playing at a friend's house on their roomate's computer? or an internet cafe that has WoW - there are a few in NYC, people used to play WoW at neutral ground all the time (neutral ground is like a club for geeks to go play magic and they have computers there as well <3 )
just sounds like crap to me. these anti-multiboxers are ridiculous.
All blizzard has to do to kill multi-boxing is remove /follow and /assist as macro commands. You still could box without them, but I know I probably wouldn't.
This is just some jerk trying to intimidate you. What he wants is attention -- don't give it to him.
CD key isn't stored anywhere in the registry. Basically, this guy went all Gilligan on the SS Failboat.

Great. Now I have to clean coca~cola off my monitors and keyboard. :thumbsup:
:D
Also I can personally confirm that at least as of ~2 weeks ago, you can on one machine run 2 instances of the WotLK alpha client and log in 2 accounts and play them.
We didn't get a chance to test key broadcasting software yet, I'll try this someday but likely won't get a chance until late July.
That's hilarious. I agree - I do not believe there's any truth to this.Quote:

Not gonna happen. If it does I can guarrantee that there will be a notice way before anyone is banned. It would be a PR nightmare to ban all the mboxers without an ample warning that they are changing their stance on the practice considering they have stated many many times that they are ok with boxing. Changing stance and insta banning all of us would just be bad business. I do not see this happening anyway.
I will never understand why people hate multiboxing so much... The main reason people say they hate it is because of PvP/Arena/BGs/Ect.. Ect... 1v5 will never win.. MB or not...
The real reason is they're just jealous they can't get mommy and daddy to dish out $75/mo for something that takes the rest of us a couple hours to make. It's the same reason asshats will key a nice car in the parking lot.. if they can't have it, they want to make sure no one else can enjoy it as well.Quote:
