100 mutliboxing tips and tricks

[Dominian]

I stole the idea from wow class forums and theese treads have helped me managed new classes alot better so why not try one with mutliboxing? Just keep it clean and short

1. Use the terrain and hide behinde trees/small hills etc, as a multiboxer i tend to get zerged ALOT and by using trees i can kill 4-5 enemies before they even know im there.

2. Kill them before they kill you.

3. make sure to set your maxfpsbk and maxfps to reduce system load
4. reduce your details ( http://www.dual-boxing.com/wiki/inde...phics_Settings ) to save cpu/gpu
5. make sure you have enough system memory. rule of thumb: OS + nWoWs * 500M (OS xp == ~500M, vista == ~750M)

6. Make a macro "/say www.dual-boxing.com" for all the people that go "HACK! BOT! I WANT THAT MACRO! REPORTED!"

7. Start with a caster group before going to melee so you can learn the basics

8. Spend time refining your macros, and making sure you have all toons doing what they are supposed to.

9. Make copies of your WTF folders and keep them safe. (no longer an issue with the patch)

10. Make healing macros for your main, and the rest of the toons, make sure to keep them in order so you dont get confused (ex F1, F2, F3, etc.)

11. Do not reinstall your operating system if you using keyclone = another 20 bucks (incorrect: request transfer to new system-id to resolve )

12. Successful Fear = death or wipe of a multiboxer in PVP or PVE (granted the pvper need to know what he is doing)

13. Make a position button (when you press ` for example, one toon has that button mapped to move left, the second to move right, the third to move back, and one to move forward)

What does maxfpsbk do?

Sounds like max fps for wow when not the focus in windows.

15. Ensure your team can switch leaders when needed and still operate.

* Nothing is more embarrassing than being in an argument with a player that is convinced you are cheating by boxing than to have your main die, never setting up the leader switch key because you could never possibly die in Silverpine, and your team croak to one Dalaran Mage. All the while the idiot who thought you were a cheater points and laughs. *

16. Set up formations and /dance macros. I've had people just randomly give me gold and gear when i'm standing in org in a formation /dancing

17: Make sure your capable of broadcasting all keys when you need to.

It means that when running characters, you can make macros easily and quickly by typing them out at the same time, then tweaking anything you need to change indidually.
