So after Wow (not gonna risk banning now, even with JMB) what would you guys say is the best game to multi-box now? Been trying to 4-man SWTOR, but there is just so hard with no macros, stupid following system and no interact with target, this is a game much more suited for 2-man really, but I really liked 5-man teams in wow.
I enjoyed Guild Wars 2 as solo, but I've heard they don't allow multi-boxing? LOTRO? Secret World?
Redsorc did a few more elaborate posts on some options going forward for those leaving WoW. https://www.dual-boxing.com/threads/...ving-WoW/page2
As far as I know GW 2 really doesn't allow multi-boxing.Quote:

Policy: Dual or Multi-Boxing
Playing multiple accounts simultaneously—more commonly known as dual-boxing or multi-boxing—is permitted in Guild Wars 2, though only under specific circumstances. Please ensure that you understand our full multi-boxing policy outlined below before engaging in this sort of activity.
Policy
A player may own and operate several accounts, but they may do so only when they play and control each account independently of any other account. This means that:
- Each account must be attended at all times.
- Each account must be operated independently of each other.
- Accounts must not be operated simultaneously using macros or bots.
- One keystroke should translate to one action on one account.
Here’s what you should keep in mind if you plan to run multiple clients:
- You may use more than one account at the same time.
- You may use more than one computer at the same time.
- You must be actively playing on each account.
- You may NOT program your keyboard to perform functions on more than one account at a time. For example, if you press [W] on your keyboard to move forward, a single character on a single account should move forward. The keystroke or mouse click should not perform functions on more than one account.
- You may not use a macro to activate the skills of a character or multiple characters on more than one account.
- You may not use third-party botting tools to manage and play any number of characters, or to engage in unattended gameplay.
As a final note:
- Multi-boxing may ONLY be used in PvE areas. You are not permitted to run multiple accounts simultaneously in PvP*, WvW, activities, or in other competitive environments.
* We make an exception for the use of multiple accounts in custom arenas, but encourage anyone hosting a custom arena to, as a courtesy to all participants, specify that multi-boxing is allowed in that arena.
Yeap, the game doesn't support it.Quote:

So far been happy with FFXIV and Diablo 3 as good options to multibox. Diablo 2 remastered will be an option sometime soon as well as Diablo 4 next year.
I would say FFXIV is as close as you can get to WoW though and is quite fun.
FFXIV has become my new favorite replacement for WoW pve. The class system is so much better then WoW imo. It's so boxer friendly. The quest story is almost as good as SWTOR. I was checking out WoW 9.1 today and i'd honestly rather box FFXIV out of the two if i had a choice right now. I got a sick feeling while soloing the new patch it wasnt fun at all, i could tell i would only be doing mythic+ non stop and that feels shallow after a while. I really enjoy Lotro too, i still play it a lot, there's so much to do in the world as far as leveling and exploring goes, it's massive.
But for now FFXIV is my new favorite game to box. Might change when i reach level cap and see endgame for boxing. Lotro is underrated for boxing, but probably not good for entry level right now, it costs far too much for anyone to start boxing without waiting for sales and giveaway promotions. The legacy classic servers are free with subscription so that's not bad and 2 new servers just opened today.
Would be nice to get a FFXIV dedicated forum, i feel like a lot of wow refugees will land on this game.
FFXIV right now, even in the non boxing world is experiencing a resurgence like I've never seen. There is so much momentum and hype around the game and many players from other MMO's are flocking towards it. This point in the patch cycle should also be at it's lowest because it's 4~ months away from the newest expansion so the content is hypothetically stale for some but it doesn't seem to matter and their numbers just keep going up, and when the expansion does hit. It'll be even more intense.
I wouldn't be surprised if by the end of the year FFXIV is definitely the most played MMO.
Currently playing it right now and enjoying, and if I had to choose as a solo player which to play it would be Final.
Finally decided to go for 4xman FF XIV, is there a guide somewhere how to set it up in isboxer?
I used a pro setup in wow, but will start with a basic one this time, feeling a bit rusty.
What program should I point to in innerspace, there is quite a list. Windows 10 64-bit.

check this out - usefull thread https://isboxer.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=52&t=8087. I shall warn all of you - most of the dungeons in later game are not really boxable, due to mechanics.

Old school grind. Really complicated build decisions at the end game.
