Thanks for addressing all my questions! I'm looking forward to giving this a shot. I completely understand what you're saying as far as hobbies go, and you're right: $75/month really isn't a bad total at all if this is your primary hobby. I unfortunately am attracted to expensive hobbies, so I've gotta keep this one a little more reasonable, which is why I'm not planning on going beyond 2 subscriptions at this point.

I'm pretty sure the base game includes everything through MoP (so up to level 90). So I could try out dualboxing on just that for now. And as you've said, I plan to refine my dual-boxing skills extensively before I venture into a dungeon or group with anyone.

How complicated are the macros that multiboxers tend to use? A lot of what I'm reading seems to cover the otherwise basic functions (jumping, targeting, assisting, etc) that I take for granted when only controlling 1 character. When planning out a non-same class/spec character set, do you plan out and map things like: key 1 = opener, key 2 = spam attack, key 3 = interrupt, key 4 = heal, key 5 = AoE, etc and just make sure to put an appropriate spell in that slot for each character? Or am I oversimplifying things, and you actually use much more complicated macros so that you can do more advanced things while playing multiple characters?

Do multiboxers tend to modify attack strategies to simplify them? Depending on the class, there are a huge number of spells/abilities, each that's optimal in certain situations. It can be challenging enough mastering this when playing 1 class at a time...I can't imagine knowing each spell to use for 3-5 different classes at the same time. But I do know when I need to interrupt, or heal, or AoE. As a rule of thumb for a new multiboxer, should I avoid "majoring in the minors" and just focus on the big things like binding an opener key, a point builder/spam attack, heal, AoE, interrupt, and finisher? I guess this is a moot point if I'm doing the same class/spec since I would just map the same actions on each one, but I'm curious in case I venture to something more advanced like Healer/Tank or DPS/Tank in the future.

I have a Logitech G600 mouse. I read in one of the newbie guides (http://www.dual-boxing.com/threads/2...-minutes-Setup) that the Logitech software should be turned off, or is this just to get some special keyboard function and I don't have to worry about my mouse? I currently have my G9 - G20 keys bound to 1-= via the Logitech software, and have found this to be a huge help when playing only 1 character at a time.

What is Jamba? Khatover references it in his "Newb's Guide to Multiboxing".

Thanks again. I'm hoping to start the free ISBoxer trial this weekend and RaF an account to myself.
