Other Multiboxable games discussion for those leaving WoW

[Purpleflavor]

I, for one, think i'm done with WoW. I dont think i'll even play a single account at this time. I just paid for 6 months on 1 account and reuped 4 accounts a few days ago, so i'm pretty upset about that as well. Refunds officially denied. Thankfully i waited to buy SL's. Going to start looking for something to fill that boxing void, but i'm not sure what yet. Anybody else feeling the same, or have some opinions on other long term options?

Lord of the Rings - is an excellent game, albeit slow and movement can feel like you're on ice.

Final Fantasy 14 - i've heard good things about, but have no boxing experience. I hear you can make one team and switch jobs(classes) easily. I'd love that kind of system. There's no specific forum here for FF14 so what's up with that?

Star wars SWTOR- I never boxed this but i played it during it's beta and thought it was perfect for boxing 2-3 characters because the mercenary npc followers are completely viable to fill the rest of your party.

Im in the same situation. Just reupped 8 Accounts with 3 Month game time and was waiting on SL upgrade. They denied refund for the game time as I used already a few days of it. Altough they offered to transfer a big chunk of that time to my main Account (around 400 Days).
I accepted that, but I also think that I wont play 1 WoW Account.
Looking for alternative games. For some reason I find FF, LOTR etc.. pretty unappealing, although Ive never tried em out myself. Was rather thinking about 4 boxing D3 or looking into EQ2. Not sure what to do yet.

I'm personally gonna keep playing WoW Retail and Classic until they give me a warning. After that, I'm done with Blizzard games for good. 16 years of my life on this game all thrown out the window, not easy to digest. I might wait for Ashes of Creation's release to see if it's multibox-friendly.

Tempted to go back to Rift... used to 5-box that for a couple of years after I quit Pandaland.

However, i do fear that other companies will see Blizzard's move and start to ban broadcasting/MBing themselves.

I was thinking about SWTOR. you can box 4. Maybe something changed, i remember follow was really screwed up. but still playable.

Best game to multibox apart from WoW has been EQ2 for me. It's not as good as WoW and is very expensive but there's a huge world to discover and it's nothing close to discovery friendly as WoW is. There's definitely a lot of quests to look upon google and stuff.

There's a very very large quantity of quests and stuff to do through.

Ashe of Creation but we have to wait ^^ ! They talked about it and they will allow multibox.

I was 2 boxing swtor a couple months ago. It works fine except yes, there is a massive issue with follow. Using follow in combat causes massive FPS drops/stuttering for anyone in the area. I don't really understand why or how, but it does it. It's not much of an issue for a ranged team in PvE, but it makes a melee based team really awful to play.

Who knows though, they seem to break auto follow in swtor every 6 months, and when they fix it sometimes it works better, and sometimes it works worse.

I second EQ2. It has an absolute ton of content. It's actually pretty MB friendly in terms of how stuff works. Going forward, Pantheon is what I'm looking towards. Hoping they don't completely ban MBing.

This is my concern as well.

On topic: I'm going to give Rift a shot. I played pretty hardcore when the game first came out. I'm basically going to approach it like I would a single player RPG, and just play through the storyline and explore the game a little bit. I'm sure it won't take very long to max everything out, but it might be some fun while I figure out what next steps are.
