Does anyone else try to seem 'normal'?

[Shaden]

When I multiboxed a year ago, I really strived to seem as normal as possible, it just amused me I guess. I used different names, different looking characters and I tried to set up my macros to best simulate different players playing the different characters. And in hind sight, thank goodness I did it that way because I was able to get to mid 40s without a report, otherwise my hiney would have been grass since I was using my husband's abandoned account back then(I missed it in the EULA that it was a no no).

I'm sure it's not the most effecient way to multi box but when my battlechests arrive on monday, I'll probably do the same thing so was just curious if my hunch is correct and that I am indeed in the minority.

I don't know why, but I don't try to seem normal. I am a bit of an attention whore, me thinks. If I notice someone checking my team out I will /cheer or /tickle. I have been meaning to ask Dr. Phil about this behavior but I've just been busy :/

mboxing seems pretty normal to me...

My original multiboxing project got side tracked by RAF so I am working on getting 3 teams to 60. Some of them have been cookie cutter look alikes and some are different. I made a 4 hunter team out of two BE hunters I had and 2 new Orc RAF hunters (named father & daughter in Finnish) . My shaman team is two male and two female trolls named twelve, fingers, eight, toes - in Croatian. The Druid team will be all kinds of names and the locks are in my sig.

So over all I like mixing them up and being "normal", not out of a sense that I need to actually be normal just that I personally like it better.

I'm dualboxing on two different comps ATM, so invariably I seem very normal apart form looking like two total noobs.

Warr + Priest combo = bad. Shoulda rolled Pallies. <.>

I don't name my characters the same.

I deliberately made them look the same. They are the triplet sons of a great shaman searching for their father to join up and avenge the death of their mother.

If you have a legitimate setup of accounts you have very little to fear from being reported. These morons that dislike you will probably still realise you are a multiboxer.

I will make no concessions for the idiocy of others.

hell no.

I'm not normal. to most people boxing isn't normal. That's half of it's awesomeness.

I name toons the same, or have names that go toghether. I also consider it a requirement that at least one thing in an entire team matches completely, be it race, gender, hairstyle or name subject matter.

Or everything matches

My four shamans look exactly the same, even the skincolor is exactly the same. Did this because my goal was pvp and this way it's pretty confusing for some

I know I'm not normal, I'm a girl who likes to game and table top roleplay. I guess it's the roleplayer in me that gets a kick out of making all my characters different, then trying to get my macros set up so they'd behave as individualistic as possible. It wasn't out of fear of being reported, but that did work in my favor because I had no idea playing my husbands account was a BAD THING. When I played CoX, I never really got into any of my characters until I wrote up a background for them, once I did then they became much more interesting for me to play. I kinda wish you could write up backgrounds for characters on WoW. And no, I don't like to roleplay on an mmo, the potential cheesefactor is just way too great for me to get into it (I tried once on an rp-pvp server and it was fun in some ways but in others...*shudder*)...anyway, now I'm rambling.

So, was curious if I was the only one who was interested in doing it that way. I kinda expected to be in the minority because multi boxing takes a lot of skill and I can totally see how it'd be fun to be more 'in your face' about it and show off its awesomeness.

Well, my new group of dwarfen hunters tries to fit in... I even changed the follow macro so they are now running in a line instead as a single person. It would be great if you could explain in a bit more detail what you did to make the feel more natural / individual.
