    Default I am going to 3-box, or possibly more, I have a few questions.

    Hey, I'm new here.

    Here is my short story, basicly I leveled a night elf hunter to lvl 46 before quitting. (on a US server)
    I came back, I leveled a troll hunter to lvl 70. This time on a pvp server! YES. (When I started the word "normal" just sounded better, I don't know why, but I like pvp servers more) (O, and this time on a EU server, I am in Europe)
    Well, after having my lvl 70 hunter for a while, I quit.
    (Each and every time I started again I bought the hole pack again, now I'm starting again and of course I've forgot my account name and password and I'm simply too lazy to talk to blizzard. I usually remember all stuff but my account names and passwords for wow have been rather unusual)

    Well, now I'm starting again, I'll be playing on a Europian pvp server and I'll be 3-5boxing.

    I've got a problem, first when I started playing again I didn't have the idea of multiboxing, so I bought the game with all expensions, and in the account I picked the country Iceland (because I'm from Iceland) which is fine untill I decide to multibox and I try to use the "recruit a friend feature". But NO! of course not, Blizzard doesn't allow Icelandic people (and some other countries) to use this feature, and I can't change it because then I'd have to talk to blizzard (and thats a pain, i can't call them couse I live in Iceland) and I'd have to show proof that I am from or have moved to some other country.
    So when I bought 2 more battlechests I made the accounts from the UK (BUT still under the same name) so now 2 of my 3 chars get x3 xp and the other one gets left behind like a coward and it is so frusterating having to level him x3 times slower than the others, it is like living in heaven with x3 xp. And since I don't have any other chars I currently don't have any money and I can't boost him or anything like that. But maybe I'll just give myself a week or 2 and try to get 1k from the AH (starting with 1g).

    Well do you know any suggestions to this? What should I do? Level the normal one to 60 (60 first) and then boost the other ones since they get x3 xp, or the other way around, level those 2 and boost the normal one? Or?

    And now I also have some other questions.
    Well I first started leveling 3 shamans, 2 of the shamans I got to level 20 in 1 second, and the other one got left behind in level 12. (just great)
    Well, I'm not against the shamans but I don't think its my type, I've basicly been choosing what classes I'm gong to play from watching some youtube videos.
    Like this really good guy Aelli (i think it was) which I know is also active on this forum. He has an awesome 5-man shaman team I think.

    But most of those youtube videos are 5boxers, so I can't just watch them and decide.
    What do you think for 3 boxers? I want to do very much dps but still survive, I'm not any serious gamer, although I play a lot but I'm not going to try to solo some bosses with these accounts (and yeah they are just 3, atleast now so it would be impossible)

    I think I will just do some PVP, maybe some arenas, i don't know just anything.

    I'm really starting to like the high dps classes like the mage.
    And I've seen some have 4 mages and 1 priest, but since I only have 3 accounts it's different, should I have 2 mages and 1 priest?

    Can you help me find the right 3 boxing group please?
    Also, Im just saying hello, I'm new here and I'm probably going to spend some time on these forums. Because this is a great place!

    Do you recommend me 5 boxing?
    Nothing heavy, probably everyone on 1 super computer with 1 keyboard and mouse all in software. Couse I'm still really young and I have limited money, but getting higher soon with my internet businesses. But yeah I'm under my parents roof but I have enough money to 5 box, but I don't know if I'm ready to go buy 5 computers, but I really do want to though .

    I'm all pvp mostly, probably, I don't think I will be raiding bosses.
    And nothing hardcore pvp, just having some fun with 3 boxing, maybe even just bg's, I would just like to try 3 boxing, but nothing hardcore. I might do some arena stuff but then I won't care if I get beaten, I'm not going to try to pwn! everyone.

    or should I buy another battlechest to get another x3 xp char? And cancel the other account that gets normal xp?
    The problem with this is that I would still want to keep the normal couse its an extra account and then I can 4 box!
    And I'm just not ready to throw away 1 game and 2 expensions that have just been bought and a game card that I added to that account.

    And one more thing, I thought multiboxing was mostly done with 1 keyboard, do you all have 5 mice and 5 keyboards?
    So do you both control all the charecters on one keyboard and also on all?
    Can you please exlain.

    The advantage to five-boxing is the ability to solo the 5-man instances and other 5-man content.

    You only need 1 keyboard, regardless if a hardware or software KVM (i.e., multiplexer like Keyclone) is used. I have 2 computers and my 2 mice and KBs are next to me. I use both when required. Typically I use both mice and only the 1 KB. I have the ability to use 1 mouse and move it across both computers using Synergy but it doesn't work very well for moving toons - and I haven't fixed it, I don't even know if it can. Some people have all five keyboards available. You only need 1. Personal preference really.

    Levelling up 2 toons with RAF and 1 without is going to be frustrating to say the least. You could try and get your password from your old account and transfer your L70 and boost the new toons. Otherwise, I would get another account and RAF link it to the unlinked account (i.e., So you would have A -> C and B -> D). Once your time is up, you can just cancel your account/transfer toons etc. The price of the Battlechest is relatively low now. And, if you get 4 you might as well get 5 =).

    The classes you pick depend on what you like to do (for ideal setups, otherwise you can really make anything work). If you to run instances a lot, it's easiest to pick up 2 DPS classes than a tank/healer, so you would pick a tank, healer and a DPS. If you don't mind possibly having to wait to do the instances then go with whatever you like. Three DPS would be the easiest route. All the same class can be easier for some people, but it's not necessary. If you're primarily going to do BG's, three toons works fine. I don't know what classes are the "best" for PVP, but Shaman are very popular. Any range-based DPS class would work great in PVP IMO. In the end, you can make anything work.

    Ok, thank you very much. But I have one question.
    How can I raf link to the unlinked account?
    The unlinked account is from Iceland, and it can't recruit anyone, and no one can recruit the unlinked account because it has already been created.
    The only way I think is possible is by:
    ok account A is the unlinked from Iceland, and B and C are linked together. Only thing I can see is that B or C invites another account that I have to buy, D.
    So
    A
    B-C
    B-D

    (a is not connected)
    (b is connected to c, and to d)
    because I can't link A to anything because when I created that account I picked Iceland. Which can not use the recruit a friend feature which SUCKS! Why would they do that do people?
    There is no reason not to let everyone use it.

    -
    Edit: So I would have to buy a new battlechest to get 3 chars, (the problem is that I have already bought the lich king on the Icelandic account and a game card, a lot of money wasted)
    But hey its christmas, I might get gifts lol, I can always ask for some extra money from my parents too, since its christmas, but there is NO way I'm telling them that I am paying three times more than a regular user. Or even more.

    Well, the problem is is that I always have this normal xp account hanging on my, I want to use it, no matter how many other accounts I create, I'll always have this one which doesn't expire till sometime in march ( )
    And I will always want to use it too no matter what, and then when I start using it I will always stop using it because its slower.

    But, what if I just level the 2 up and then boost the other one?
    Is that going to work, should I then level them both to 60 (x3 xp ends at level 60)
    and then boost with both of them? Or should I boost with 1 level 60?
    Can you help me a bit if I'm going to boost this guy, couse I have this account till the end of february so I might as well use it, even if I get more accounts, and lich king has already been bought for it, so I'm going to use it.
    (I don't mean you helping me boost this guy, but please give me helpful hints, and answer the question, should I boost the other guy with 2 level 60's or just 1?)

    NVM!

    I quit.

    Sorry, but although I'm just 14, I am not going to play games, it interupts with my online businesses too much. I'm building up my future business here so I can not play games, especially mmo's.
    I should have bought call of duty 5, and let that do. Not buy 3 wow's, 3 burning crusades and 1 lich king!
    omg I'm such a stupid ass, common I'm 14 and I just bought 7 games, darn. I need call of duty 5 and play it sometimes.

    AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
