Multiboxing is going to help me out... In real life. Seriously...

[Taybox]

my wife hates wow, bc it takes so much time to play. She would rather me play PS3 anyday. The reason is, bc it takes so much time to play. to have decent gear, you have to be online at CERTAIN times, which is not dictated by you. You have to be on when the playerbase is on. Which sucks for me. My main playing time is when she is at work 8am-5pm (I work offshore 14 days a month so when she is at work, i chill at the house). Saying that I say this.

I dont like to play when she gets home from work because i like to spend time with my family. But ive been playing wow for years and id like to not drop it, being my favorite hobby i guess.

I have always wanted to PVE, but i couldnt due to schedule and real life stuff. So i began to PVP in TBC... Now, you have to have an arena rating in WOTLK just to get BG gear, which also sucks for me. Because due to my schedule, I play every other 2 weeks, and i cant keep a stable arena partner.

Now with multiboxing, i can dictate my play time. I am going to try 5 WoW on 1 screen, and do it for PVE mainly. When she goes to work, I will have 8 hours to run any instance I want to (5man)(heroic) and get all the loot, which in itself will be the most fun in wow ive ever had it seems.

I am so excited I found this, and everyone has been so helpful. Cant wait to try it when i get home (im offshore atm so i had alot of time to research it, so ill be ready when i get home)

Welcome to a new level of addiction.

It'll be tough at first while you're trying to configure everything, but once you do you'll knock yourself in the head for not discovering multiboxing earlier.

I like you. I've been making an effort to spend time with my other half when she is around rather than being a "munt" on the computer. It's very rewarding.

I started multi-boxing because I could never get a group to do the content I wanted. It's a blast, however many toons you box with. I really hope you enjoy your "new" hobby. It seems like you are on the right track.

Yes, multiboxing is my ticket to seeing some raid content without having to work my time around a guild. Not because I don't like other people, but because it's hard to find the time every night all year round to raid raid raid raid....

What's a "munt"?

Urban word: The meaning I take on the word is this (there are actually many other connotations and meanings, where I'd rather not go):

The popular Australian meaning is to be broken or unusable.

Hey dude I drove over a squirrel the other day. I've got it here - look its completely munted!

I multibox for the same reasons. After the kid is in bed and before my much better half gets home from work, usually 1 to 1.5 hours per day a few times a week. Multiboxing is definately the way to go if you'd like to keep playing but now completely on your own schedule.

Playing on your own schedule is the #1 reason I multibox.
