Who's the 30 boxer? :)

[Prepared]

Its legal, it does LESS then Keyclone (btw even though I have decided upon wineq I strongly suggest that everyone else use Keyclone, as its vastly superior in most all respects, I have just concluded that I dont need/want key broadcasting to backgroud instances). The edge for me is that because I use it for EQ, I can keep everything exactly the same as I go back to play EQ, plus its easy to edit it in its ini file moreso then editing keyclone in its text ini file, seeing i been doing it for years. Plus Keyclone seems set up much more for tile play (which most everyone else does) instead of full screen like I do.

Wow Sam, if you're going to be playing both WoW and EQ, it's even going to take you longer to level up in WoW. I was the same way when I started WoW from EQ. I kept playing EQ for about 1 1/2 months before I finally switched permanently to WoW. In my humble opinion, WoW is so vastly better in game play than EQ in every way. From PVP to graphics, to trains, to just everything, WoW has EQ beat. This is the reason I believe WoW has so much success. Of course it has things that the Warcraft series were based on that got it started, but the reason it has so many players is really because the game play is so much better than any other MMORPG out there (including Shadowbane - sorry Rob). I've always said that any new MMORPG released after WoW that has more differences in game play than WoW has will have that much less subscribers. This is my opinion of course, but subscription numbers tend to back that up. Other than a few bugs here and there in the game, WoW is the best there is for an MMORPG. I love playing in PVE and PVP.

But I strongly disagree with your suggestion to have everyone use Keyclone. My recommendation to anyone that boxxes multiple accounts is to use Octopus. I've stated the reasons why in other message threads and don't want to get into all of the reasons why here. Even though Octopus isn't being further developed, it still is in my opinion the best multibox program available now.

couple quick comments :

prepared: you can grant levels at 60, I personally have done this and can confirm it works. I leveled up 2 druids to 31 on two vet accounts, and granted 29 levels (the max you can grant from a single character) to each of the druids from two RAF'd level 60 shamans. Try to arrange it so you only need 100-400 xp to hit level 32, then do the grant, because you will end up 99% into level 61.

Thanks, yes I saw that trick about getting the percentage of experience left to hit the next level right at the max so that when the grants are done, they only need to do a little bit to hit the next level. Right now they are sitting just under level 21. After my shamans are leveled up, then I'll go back and work the alts to just about 32 as you said (if I have any time left from the 3 month recruit-a-friend time).

What is the point of 32.............seems like overkill.....

The point of 32 is to destroy Stormwind and Ironforge (with a little help from others not just me and my boxxed characters) using 32 Fire Elementals and 96 totems right in the center of town. That's the entire reason I am boxxing 32 right now. My goal is to get to level 70 and get some PvP gear and destroy the Alliance on Aegwynn. It's really funny because Aegwynn apparently aren't used to seeing boxxers around. I get the 'WTF is this?' message all of the time.

using 32 Fire Elementals

Video lag from the elemental alone will kill most PCs.

haha

"why do you box 100 shaman?"
"because I can drop 400 totems, 100 elementals, and spam lightning shield until the entire zone freezes and goes offline. It's like shooting fish in a barrel."

Why bother with 4 totem clicks when you can crash everything by using your Barov Peasant Caller
Damn i'd love to kill a 70 just with this trinket x 32.

Make sure you summon pets beforehand too.

Well I wont be playing eq much for 3 months but Im not abondoning goals that i have had for 6 or so years. There is so much more left to do in EQ. Maybe the moeny will force me to but maybe not, I have close to 300 days in my guys, in game, and probably the same aruging with people out of game. Im not throwing that in the trash. EQ gets better all the time. They come out with expansions that are better each release. They have mercenaries in teh next expansion. Sides, I am playing the bazzar game, making like 200K a day or so ... Besides a LOT of people have quit wow to return to EQ so its not like everyone thinks wow is better. Sides 24 guys is only 200 a month. Big deal ....

EQ is much harder and way less boxer friendly, you dont automatically kill people there like here. A good group of 6 will dismantle me in 20 seconds in EQ even though I have 24. I dont see that happening here.

Also wow looks so fake, EQ looks like a real world. And who wants their toons to look like cows (more reason to play in first person) ... Still ya wow has done a lot of things right.

If wow didnt have so many more players I would not have come to wow, but Im not well known in wow and its time to step into the most popular mmo.

i don't know anything about octopus but if its not being supported anymore well ...

Ya dont you get like 4000 honor points or whatever they are if you kill the ironforge boss? Inst that the dwarfs I thought like 1000 guards come and it cant be done?

[Zub]

you do get some honor, but it's a drop in the ocean that alterac valley can give you. And usually the city tends to lag up and die when too many people are around, and it becomes a lag fest where winners are non-target AOEs.

[Zub]

did you get any levels up on your team Sam?
I guess the starting macros and stuff will take the longest, i would really suggest you start with a group of 3/5 and have a feel first, get it working and maybe level them to 10 (90 minutes maybe), then replicate all settings on your other 4/5 groups and level them to 10 as well.

[Sam DeathWalker]

Ironforge has been a thorn in the side of the Horde for a long time and its time to destroy the threat. More Fuel Horde!


Iv got three macros written, I write them out of game in the ini files then copy the files to all 6 computers. "copy muppy" does it really fast once you set it up. I just put my best offensive spell in action bar slot one and hte best heal in 2, and i dont have to rewrite everything as I level. Im in no rush, setting everything up perfect saves time in the long run. DOnt find a way to look up and down with the keybaord, really sux on that one.

Hope they work lol: Those things on the first line of each macro is just the name / icon.

MACRO 3 "follow" Spell_Holy_WeaponMastery

Um, do tell more on what makes it so fake?
Its a well created virtual world, it has a different graphical style to other games yes, but its no less fake than any other.
