Im on it. I have time now for a few days. Getting my EQ guys stable for bazzar trading, then Ill start making the wow characters (all accounts are made) and setting up the UI and keyclone. I might go to bed though its 86degree in here right now ... but the computers is running even though they only have 2 fans each lol ... (power supply and cpu, no case or video card fans) thats solid performance.
CoolQuote:

Sam, I'll give ya that you're a damn interesting person. Odd, but that's my type of people right there. Half my friends dress up as pirates on weekends and do live steel fights... the other half, well, lets just say they are odd as well.
Hey, if I had the money and a supportive wife (believe it or not, the supportive wife thing would make it harder then the money aspect) I would do something like this as well.
Why not? There really isn't any purpose to anything, except for what makes you happy. And no one can tell you what makes you happy.
Well, OK. If by "long term" you meant "let's wait and see if he plays wow as long as it's been since I was listed on a piece of paper with Gary Gygax," then you're probably right...I doubt he'll be 36 boxing shaman in 39 years.Quote:

And while it might be true that your "long term" is longer than mine (ehem../cough), it might not be. You know what they say about assuming things. :)
so, apart from lagging Orgrimmar, i'm still unsure what people will be able to do with 26/32 toons. I'm genuinely interested, but can't see.
- instances? nope, limited to 5/10
- 25man raids? i sure doubt it with shamies and/or 1 paly
- arena? nope
- bgs? only av (so far) and its going to be boring real fast
- World pvp? can't see it happening, but who knows. Maybe standing in a spot for a couple hours will bring some enemies, but in any case it's going to be a lag fest.
The only answer i'ev got so far was 'going to kill some mobs to get the phat lootz' or something similar.
if it's only an epeen thing, then ok, why not. To each their own.
25 dailies x 30 = 9000 gold a day!!!Quote:

Why does no one think wintergrasp is viable, I mean even if you dont have spread macros you can just stop auto follow on 5 at a time to spread out and not die to bombs.
Someoone said you get 4000 hero ponints or something I forget honor maybe whatever (doh Im such a noob) for killing enemy city bosses, is that possible?
Look
1. They guy posts here under "termor" (or something the guy asking about 15 is max or not and under "prepared", he did 5 or so posts under prepared helping others out.
2. The guy has not himself claimed he 30 boxes. Does that not strike anyone as odd at all, considering he was very concered if 15 was the max or not?
3. Even if they are not trial accounts, he has not paid a dime yet. I have 6 months on ALL 26 of my accounts and my credit card will nto be drawn for 1 week and 1 month, LOTS of time to get to level 21 if not past 60. Lets see if he is still around in 8 months if he is then Ill think about what to do different.
4. He is not running a SINGLE mellee, thats means he is not able to set up his system to micro manage one character, which means umm well not sure yet.
5. Like everyone says this is not all that easy. I don't have a wife, I don't have childern, I don't have a 40 hour a week job, I don't have anyone to tell me what I can do or can't do with my time. Not a lot of people are in the postition I am. Plus I am older and know what its like to have done this or that, when you are young you always think that you will be happy when you do or have X thing, so there is lots to distract.'
6. On the other hand someone saw him kill a 70 rough and hunter multiple times today ...
See the last 5 posts here:
http://www.fohguild.org/forums/retar...ng-wow-15.html
7. Still not a single log of his exploits, I have tons and tons of EQ logs.
Some one stated a few hours ago: "I tried finding him with a lv1 char, but I wasn't able to... I did get my char to Hillsbrad, but he was on the farm and there is no way you can get a lv 1 all the way to the farm" without dying 100 times
Sam,
I understand your reasons for wanting to box 27 or so characters. I hope you do it and get 80 on them all. I am too in a similar position in life although younger. Do what makes you happy.
My only question is what exactly do you hope to accomplish? Destruction in PvP? You will smash face in Wintergrasp, no doubt. People will still try to (and will) pick some of your guys off. If you can rez in place then who cares? Take a look at the siege weapons. They might hurt a bit but who knows. Bombing runs might be an issue but the dps is massive to say the least.
But what is your GOAL here? To beat people in PvP? I still don't get the 27 characters - why not 25? But still - I am looking forward to seeing how this unfolds. Do what you love man.
I have 27 accounts. I will play 26 of them, the 27th is so that all 26 get the free mounts. Ill discontinue the 27th account (unless I get some buffing class maybe - not sure).
The reason I picked 26 is because I have 6 computers, no other reason.
I could play 24 I suppose but 5 computers with 5 characters each and 1 computer (the main) with just one character on it with full resolution and effects seems to nice to pass up. In fact if it works out good here Ill probably move from 24 to 26 in EQ. The edge of always having your main controlable is very strong. I can play ONE character as perfect as any single toon player, and do simple heals and casts with the other 25. I think my set up will give me an edge over the 30/32 boxer guy. But we will see.
My goal is to singally kill the strongest pve mob there is (as any pvp goal is going to be hard to set, and wont be as universal as a pve goal), by one person, and then to do some winning in pvp, maybe there will be some kind of wintergrasp ladder or leaderboard....
If I kill a stronger pve mob then anyone by themselves then I think I can claim to be the best single player. Might take years to get to that point but we will see.
How would you say who the best single person player in wow is right now? I would think that whoever killed the strongest boss mob by themselves would have that honor. Same in EQ.
Right now I am leaning towards not tileing, I think the system I use in EQ is adaptable (fliping through each group), has some good points here. Sure I won't be able to cast at the same time with all 25 but I can cast with 5, drop totems with 5, heal with 5, cast cl with 5, all withine .5 seconds of each (I flip though 4 eq groups in 2 seconds). Whats the difference in doing you 25 chain lightings all at once or over 2 seconds ... And I can drop autofollow and spread that way, by group. We will see but right now Im setting up liek i did in EQ. I mean why should I be stuck with casting heal with all 25 ... if I just need 5 heals ... I dont know not 100 percent sure on anything yet, still setting things up. I basically rewrite most of my EQ socials every new camp (I stay at the same camps for a few weeks though), so I am sure I will change but tonight Ill be tryin the old way first.
I don't understand how people play with these tiny little screens in tile mode, and dont play in first person all the time, its just so strange, where is the immersion in the game when you are not in first person?
In EQ, at lvl 65, another bard and I duo'd Sontilak in WW. I've also soloed Harla Dar in WW. The same bard and I tried Klandicar, but failed, due to him DPSing us faster then we could heal.
We used charm + the entire zone worth of animal mobs and Ice Burrowers to cycle back and forth sending them to tank the dragons. We would stack Harmonic-something (63 debuff to all magic) to prevent charm dispell. When a "pet" died we would take from the pack that was chasing after us and continue. We would take damage quite a bit, as dispells would eat charms at awkward times. We healed using songs and Fungi tunic (crappy, but 52hp/tick helped a lot).
I thought that was a pretty cool achievement.
Lake wintergrasp is overhyped, it will turn out like the rest of the world pvp zones - maybe its because im on a normal realm, but on our server there is never horde taking nagrand. You dont need 25+ charecters to dominate in pvp, i took my first trip to AV yesterday upon dinging 60, they are still in level 30 year and i was picking them off like flies - untill there mages found out that i had 3k HP and decided to dragons breath + aoe me down ;(
Even if wintergrasp is abit more active than the current world pvp zones, you think there is going to be 20+ alliance in that zone? because without that your not going to get a good battle, it would just be you ganking people - but i guess the only way you can see is if you try it - getting to 70 would be an achievement in itsself ;)
I dont see much of the, soloing bosses thing since TBC came - most elites can be solo kited with ease, if its doable its normally easy - and if its not doable its just impossible. But if i was to put my money on anyone it would probablly be faxmonkey (pre-tbc) or one of the korean mages who was soloing UBRS bosses. I do remember solo farming ZG crocs on my mage, great fun and a great challenge - but there must have been at least 1 mage on every realm who could do it.Quote:

Why do you try to bash/suss Temor/prepared? you probably no nothing of his goals, intentions.. Maybe he just thought it would be fun to try lots of toons after reading your post. and RAF'd all his accounts.
Seems to me you're trying to run a race where the other guy doesn't even know there is a race. Who but Temor knows what he wants to do with his toons? maybe he just wants to get to 30 and basta.
Why don't you try and play the game for your own enjoyment instead of this pseudo epeen contest. You might be 'older' but sure sound like a pre-teen to me.
And IF Temor is trying to get them most toons, well, suck it up. To be the best you need to beat the best. Not just try and pinpoint that perhap, maybe, there is a chance that the best is possibly using different accounts or whatnot.
Lots of talk and no action so far. Get your 26 toons to 70/80 and then people will go 'whoaaa', me included. Hell, get ONE toon to 70 to begin with ;)
In the meantime, you're just some dude who bought alot of WoW boxes and is talking lots on the web.
At least, that's what coming out of your posts to me.
-Zub
Thats true enough, can't kill boss mobs with boxes .... Ya lots of talk and no action, but Im talking while my computers are moving files all over the place, if I was done setting up Id be playing so you'll be seeing less talking soon. Had to redo my raptor on my main to match the others ... now I need to move the BC files from the main to the other 5, then make all the winEQ2 set ups, then make the characters, then finally actually play ... rome was not built in a day.
I'm not dissing the guy, Im just saying its a bit soon to claim that he is in fact 30/32 boxing. He reads this forum, its possible he is busy leveling up, but if he has read these threads then he should come in and speak his peace, as I do.
Probably he is it does seem like it but then again far far from all the facts are in.
But even under my own measurment suggestion (killing pve boss mobs), Im still dead last lol ...
People are competitive, what with all the rankings and pvp in wow, I mean there are 100 or more sites just devoted to rankings of all different kinds, trade skills, gold, arena, pve achivments etc. etc.
Its not resonable to say that I'm wrong for being competitive. Next time you get ganked are you going to post that "its unfair cause you weren't playing "competively"".
I'm from Sullon Zek. Level 60's were killing me when I was level 20, 100's of times. Take every ganker and hacker and no holds barred cheater in wow and put them on one server and you'll have it 1/2 as bad as SZ was.
You log in, you die. Welcome to WoW PvP, enjoy your stay.
One nice thing here is that on Zek, I know so many people from buying/selling and them helping me and me helping them, its almost impossible to sort out who is going to attack me or who isnt (in EQ I don't gank I just wait to see if someon attacks me). In WoW its just attack Allience automatically on sight lol, gives me 2 seconds more then I have on Zek.
More power to the 32boxer. As to why he's not stepped up and said yes thats me and this is why im doing it, why should they everyone has there own reasons for doing things.
Me personally i see anything over 5 as getting a bit excessive and not worth it, ive been happily Solo Boxing since WoW came out but have splashed about a bit with a Friends team and found it to be fun, once i have PC capable of playing Wow again i'll be trying out Dual Boxing with a view to possibly going up to Tri Boxing.
The great thing i foresee with it for me is the capability to Do some of the Group type quests that i cant solo (if i cant chill it its going to eat my mage undead).
This is totally off-topic but does anyone recognize the unit frames mod he was using?
Actually, I'm planning to do 16 at a time with AV. :) And 5 at time in the other BGs at the start to see how it goes. It's difficult if not impossible to do the BGs with all slots filled because of the constant running around. Of course, I still have a long way to go before I do any of the BGs as my first goal is to get them all to level 60 with recruit-a-friend. The way I have it is that I had 16 accounts and then each one of those recruited another friend to 32 in total. So I have 8 groups of 4 in each group so that they all get triple experience for the group that gets the kills and to complete quests. With this, I get about a level a day (maybe slightly more right now) but that largely depends on how many Alliance I run into during the day that want to camp me. Of course, those Alliance that camp me don't get any honor because they're usually a mage or priest at level 70. When a 70 camps me after the first kill, I usually go play on my other realm that I box different classes at level 70. No one on Aegwynn at 10 levels above me has been able to kill me so far :) They can't even kill one of my characters. It's quite funny because I don't think they know how many I have because they're all stacked on top of each with the same guild name and almost the same name. The way the names are is Preparea through Preparet, then Prepar(a, e, i, o, u)(d, s, r). The guild is named We Are Prepared. My main was going to be the one labeled as Prepared, but that's not the case really as I can switch my main to any of six on my main computer. I use a macro that does /target (name here), /focus to switch my main assist.Quote:

I didn't think my Internet connection would work before I recruited the other 16 accounts but it actually works quite well. I'm using a fast Comcast connection and I'm in California and the Aegwynn realm is apparently in Los Angeles so that could explain why it works so good with 32 accounts. :)
My hardware is 3 desktop computers and 6 laptops. The first desktop has the Q9300 quad processor and 2 - 22 inch monitors with 6 accounts. The 2nd and 3rd desktops are quad processors and runs 4 accounts with a 22 inch monitor on each and the laptops are 17 inch screen duo cores with 3 accounts each. So that's 14 accounts running on the desktops and 18 accounts running on the laptops = 32 in total. :)
All my graphics are turned down and all machines have WoW installed in one directory only (except for Wrath of the Lich King Beta is installed in a separate directory on one of the laptops).

Actually, I was waiting to see if someone would post a video or picture as in Orgrimmar, there were many that said they would post on youtube. And you're right, I'm busy leveling. :) I'm up to level 27 on all 32 shaman right now. It takes awhile to level with 8 groups of 4.
Why did I go with Shaman? Because I've already leveled up and boxxed every class in the game on a non-pvp realm. Those characters have season 2, 3 and 4 gear already. The second reason was because Shaman ROCK! They can battle self-rez, rez others, heal, wear a shield, wear chain, cast area of effect spells, drop four totems each, fire and earth elementals, and best of all, NUKE. Imagine at level 70 with PvP gear, 3 times 32 totems (96) plus 32 fire elementals hitting Stormwind or Ironforge? A lot of guards would spawn, but they would die fairly quickly too.
Why did I go with 32? Mostly because I wanted to try it. Why do men climb mountains? (because they are there). I only recently found that I could run more accounts on the machines I have by turning down all of the graphics options. My goal is to make level 70 before the expansion is released.
I leveled up mages and priests to level 20 on 26 of the accounts so that when the shaman reach level 59, I can ding them all to level 49. I'm not going to wait til 60 because I'm unsure of the faq blizzard has about the recruit-a-friend where it says that you can't use any of the features after the character reaches level 60. The mages and priests would really only be for giving buffs and water, etc to the shaman. Unless I decide later to switch to using them. The options are open :)
I use Octopus. But I also use Keyclone's maximizer feature then shut it down.Quote:

Understandable, that's why for these shaman, I'm doing what Aelli did. Only focus on enchanting and maybe a little gathering here and there for a little gold to help along the way.Quote:

In that same time one cast of Chain Lightning from 32 shamans on the mages wipes them out. Of course, prior to Chain Lightning, the talent that gives an instant cast (sorry forgot the name of it) would be used. :)Quote:

OK Now I am convienced he is actually boxing 32 on his own. And he has a ton more wow exp then I do. Still you are losing out a bit of exp by not having groups of 5, if you are exping in groups of 4. And nine computers seems a mess, but we will see. The only way for me to beat you would be to either get 10 more accounts (with my set up I can only add sets of 5) ... bleh or just level faster even though I know less about the game. Also this guy is clearly ligit as compared to that 23/23 whatever boxer guy with the cheap computers, who I completly discount as any kind of ligit competition.
So Prepared is the single top WoW active boxer number wise, where as I am the top MMO active boxer number wise with 50 total accounts (24 in EQ and 26 in WoW).
Well lets see if you stick with it when the bills start coming in .... plus I am sure if you are still around in 8 months Ill be pissed off enough to get whatever number of accounts is necessary to win lol, I hope 3.2 Gig is enought to run 7 accounts at low resolutions ... bleh.
Its does appear the only minor edge I have is that I can micro manage a single mellee whereas it appears you might not be able to. Vs yur extra 6 characters that dosnt seems to matter much but it might help in some PvE battles.

It all means nothing while the toons are not top level.. I could buy 50 boxes of wow/eq/war/aoc/.. what would i achieve? Your need for epeen titles will always impress me.
See what Prepared said? "Why did I go with 32? Mostly because I wanted to try it. Why do men climb mountains? (because they are there). I only recently found that I could run more accounts on the machines I have by turning down all of the graphics options. My goal is to make level 70 before the expansion is released."
He seems to play to have fun, not just to "be the one, woohoo look at me" (People will still look at him anyway;)
Good luck to 70 guys, Prepared has more wow experience but Sam believes he needs to race, so who knows who will be first.
The real race you guys have to fight is the 90 day RAF limit really.
Ow and prepared, i granted some levels with my toons at 64 (to lower levels), so it doesnt go away when you reach 60 - at least for me it didnt ;)
Well at least I have the best monitor set up: And Im kinda fasts at posting pics heh:

Seems as though a lot of people here make assumptions. I still have my 32 accounts that I boxxed in Everquest 1. They will be expiring in October though. I played on Maelin Starpyre back when I did play. The guild I was in let me box 6 characters in raids. I always pay with the most discounted method which on EQ was 2 years at a time. With WoW, I am paying every six months. So I don't quite understand why you're mad about anything as one of your previous posts indicated.Quote:

I started boxxing with Diablo 1 in January of 1997. I had two buy two copies of the game because I couldn't hold everything I wanted on battle.net with one copy. I didn't even know there was a term for it then. When Everquest came out, I purchased two copies of it 4 days after it was released. Then just kept adding because I kept needing things in the game that I couldn't have even with groups. That was what got me started. I didn't learn of this message board until this year nor did I know about keyboard software programs like Octopus and Keyclone until this year. I always managed my characters from the keyboard and switching windows. Yes, it was very hard to do and when I heard about keyboard software programs that sent keystrokes to all of the windows, it was WAY easier than moving to the keyboard to do one key press.
What pictures do people on here want to see? My computer set up? Or pictures in the game? For some reason, Fraps videos don't work for me on youtube when in windowed mode. It worked when I was in full screen but I've not been able to get them to display in youtube recently. Maybe someone has some information about how they can be fixed to work in youtube. The video runs fine on my machine, but after uploading, youtube says it has a problem with the codec. However, I was able upload a couple of videos to youtube prior to switching to windowed mode so I'm really not sure why they don't work there.
sigh. you're so AWESOME. i want to be you when i grow upQuote:

You boxed 32 at the same time in EQ1 and no one has ever heard of you? Well I guess some prefer a lower profile, what the EQ 1 guild yur in or is there a list of your toons someplace? Why would you let your EQ1 toons expire?
I havint even logged in yet but I have 3 free days now... gonna get some sleep and get back to wow, be posting later, night.
Im not mad at you, I'm just kinda mad about losing so badly. But even though I am vastly behind right now we will see what the future brings.
Its not unreasonable to assume things until proven wrong ... Lets see the pics, but ya kinda smarter to level instead of posting heh...
And I thought I was crazy with 12 active acnts.. I feel better now 8)
I've told this many times in the game to players that don't know. Trial accounts cannot get over level 20. Nor can they be in a guild.Quote:
