My new set up - building for aoe

[Sam DeathWalker]

5 boxing and trying to 25+ box just because someone else already is

I 24 boxed EQ for years, why wouldn't I 26 box WoW? Also my plans were already in place before anyone even heard of Prepared (he was basically unknown untill the "who's the 30 boxer" thread about Aug 31st 2008). Check his posts on this forum, or try and find anything on the internet about him, prior to 8-01-08, there are none before the middle of Augest, under his Prepared name. You'll find one post by me that has over 200,000 hits even years before 8-01-08. I mean even the title of the thread "WHOS the 30 boxer" indicates that the OP of that thread had never heard of him.

Whereas my plan was set on 7-29-08:

Go to samdeathwalker.com or google sam deathwalker, I think its safe to say I been around a while.



Still just waiting for the account moves and renames to finally finish before I test Keyclones idea.

Sam, all this mention of EQ means you're missing the point.

There's nothing "special" about owning X number of accounts other than you can afford the setup. What makes multiboxing special and meaningful is what you are able to accomplish in game (like leveling for starters). We all recognize that you have the resources to be able to do this. That's cool in its own way but it's really not what anyone cares about.

What this community cares about is what you can do with those resources.

Being better than some other boxer isn't necessarily a numbers game. In fact, some of the cooler accomplishments in wow involve just how few toons are able to do something. You want to be better than Prepared (or anyone else)? Accomplish something different, post some screen shots, videos and teach others how to accomplish the same thing. That's what this community cares about.

So get to it.

I agree I am in last place in WoW, but probably First Place in EQ.

Ya action is where its at ... just waiting on the account moves and renames... can't drive to Blizzard HQ and thunderstorm them you know.

25 level 35+s now. 4 More playing sessions of 3-5 hours each and they should be 55. 3 more after that and they'll be 60.

[Sam DeathWalker]

How many can you get in the game at one time though? If you can only play 10 at a time then your 10 best are the only ones that count.

[Bigfish]

I could get all 25 logged in at once if I really wanted to. You, better than anyone, should understand its just a matter of throwing $$$$ at it. At this point though, there is no reason to. Why log in with 25 characters if they're all useless? No, I'll be waiting until the point when they all hit the only level that matters. The ship has to float before it's worth loading up with gold from the New World.

Do mages aoe grind or do they quest?

No I have 5 guys each with the 2 main professions at 150 plus.

Professions are getting me gold which I use to get spells that I need.


If you could drop 25 fire nova totems with no threat you would quest?

Questing has always been, and will always be the fastest way to level in World Of Warcraft. If you're just not into questing, you're playing the wrong game. No matter how many toons you run, no matter how horrible the quests are, you're always going to be faster to quest. The ONLY time this is NOT the case is when boosting with a high level via instancing. But you can't exactly do that with 25 toons in 1 instance. Sure mages are very efficient at AoE grinding, but they're still leveling slower than me. All things being equal (mainly # hours played, no boosting) I'll out level anyone that is grinding, simply by questing. It doesn't matter what faction or class, I'll beat you to X level every time.


Sam, You catch a lot of shit here but I think it's like someone else stated above, we don't box to say "I box X toons". We box to do shit. We box to PvP, we box to PvE. What you're doing is cool, but this isn't EQ, this isn't ANY other game for that matter. What you did in another game is totally irrelevant to WoW. At any rate, GL with whatever you're doing and I hope you get a frickin Christmas card from blizzard.
