Anyone boxing LOTRO?

I started out using Keyclone. But I moved over to Innerspace when I found out I could run more then 1 instance of the game on my system. I currently run a Hunter/Minstrel combo. Thinking about rolling a 3rd. The answer is yes to both keyclone and Innerspace. Keyclone you will need 2 systems, Innerspace you only need 1.

How do you exactly control your characters then? Do you use ctrl + key for one toon and shift + key for the other? Cause atm I just synch the skills of my champ and captain.

I use my num pad keys for most of my minstrel heals. I put them on quickslots on bar 4 then assign them thru keymapping in the game. I could do this in Keymapping for innerspace but it would be more difficult to do. Being that I don't use these keys its perfect for running my minstrel on. I also have it set so that I can get in and out of warspeech using the numpad. I do have an issue with fighting trolls this because of AoE attacks they do. Problem is Minstrel is to close to the fight. I was thinking if I could put a Guardian up front, then a Hunter, and last the minstrel following this would work out great. Only part I have yet to figure out is how to get them back on follow after a CJ pops. Might have to consider the N52 keypad for this. Us it to issue follow commands will have to chat with Lax if his keymapping supports the n52

hello, since some of your are multiboxing with synergy, i wonder if you could help me. when moving my charakter on the remote computer, the screen move weird to any direction, but the one he is supposed to move to. so controlling the char with the mouse is impossible.
anyone else had this problem? i am using the original synergy, do i have to change to some other version/software?
thanks a lot in advance for any good hint.

Use /follow to move alt characters. if running 2 character use F2 to set assist back to main character. For CJ's use Num Zero which you have to go in and set up on keymapping and then arrow keys to set your CJ color, then F2 after the CJ completes. This is how I currently do my setup, works rather nicely

I am currently dual boxing Lotro, I have started a thread on how i have it set up using a G11 keyboard and HotKeyNet.

I now 6 box LOTRO ...

I am a hardware boxer with 6 PCS 6 LCDs so wont be of any help on software for boxing lotro though ...

it has been a blast ... i leveled my main to max level of 50 and stop playing for awhile came back to game and got second acount and made a hunter to run with my lore master ... did that for abotu a month .. recently add 4 more lifetime accounts

and currently switch between running the 4 young hunters or the two high level chars ... I am set up to 6 box but have not had a need for it yet ... becuase the others are still to young but when they are all at level 60 or close enough to group I will 6 box them

best follow command sfound for LOTRO imho

1.) set your keymapping to select F2 which is leader of group who youll be controling as main oe whoever you want them to folloe f3 f4 f5 f6 --- f2 is alwasy leader of group though and who i use ... now keymap this to the keystroke [




2.) make a shortcut key ....

type this

/shortcut 1 /follow

this will put a shortcut hotkey to autofollow in your spell slot 1 on user interface ( makesure its cleared for the time being )

now move this icon to an empty slot like on user bar 5 ....



now keymap this action on bar 5 to the key ]

Now when you hit [ all your chars select leader of group or whoever you set ... then when you hit ] they follow target ( leader etc )

now you can use formations ( assign w a s d keys different functions for dif chars to set up fighting formations and get chars away from melee you wish etc during fight .. then when figh over hit [ ] and everyone happy and following again

I hope that made sense heh

Thanks for posting the information, I discovered this just last weekend. I had been doing the the follow without /shortcut 57 /follow before then. I then mapped that to my num 9 button as I don't use my keypad when I play just one character. This helps me in other ways as well, using the numpad. When I need to turn the character on follow I set up my num + - / * for the a s d w keys. Using innerspace I set it up to go to all but current as I only use 2 character at the moment but it was enough that I was able to not only back up my character I can push it forward and even turn it if the npc I am attacking is a little to far to the right or left or even behind the character that is on follow. This truely has helped me survive much better.


For my minstrel skills I have cleared almost all of bar 4 on my hunter. It in the place of those I have slotted all my healing skills to that bar on my minstrel with 8 being warspeech and 9 as I said before for /follow. For fighting I use the 1 thru 9 keys for both. Its been very effective and survived alot of things in the past I would have died from. I think there is more that I could do but my concern is that it may automate the process. Thanks for the information.
