I wish I could be there when the GM gets back to them

[Majestic_Clown]

ok guys,

I found the solution, showing off helps alot!

Just go to org and go formations and group buffs, to mass kiss', dances, flirt etc

let everyone know what your doing, this is what I do and I have people defending me on my realm cos I'm known and when I level I generally get quite a few whispers grats'ing me.

I still get the normal "LOL", "WTF", "Are you real?" say messages but when im in org the educated people defend me so now I don't get harassed at all.

My locks are level 29 now.

Try it, show off, get known by the level 70 people that go in your Major populated city and have fun!

I actually get more cheering than anything else. More people seem to think its cool than not, especially when I am in town. Usually while I am working on one character in town (like at the bank/mailbox) I stage the other two.

My combo is one dwarf priest; long white beard ugly face; and two gnome female locks; both in pig tails with the first is red and second green; its kinda of obvious. To make it even more obvious the Priest is named DrClay and the girls are Washu and Washyu. (Tenchi).

I need to create a guild to link them under. Will probably do it this week.

My main is Guilded into the same Guild as my friends, November Fifth and all my followers are in their own Guild called November Clones

I have wasted probably over a days played time just explaining to people what I am doing - now I just ignore all tells and only reply to whatever I feel like. I stoped caring after I realized how much time I am wasting.

I have watched people argue like crazy for over an hour in General Chat about me. I also have found that between levels 1-20 people are stupid and ignorant and think your hacking yet as you get higher up the levels people know your multiboxing.

I do formations in Org at the mailbox simple so I can run off and do skills or banking or AH on my main. People know what I'm doing and defend me - and it helps we have another multiboxer on my server also.

Our server has massive queues at the moment though so I'm strongly thinking about xferring accross to Magtheridon. See how we go.

My standard response: "I use one keyboard, 4 receivers, /autofollow, /assist." Works all the time. Since I've been goofing off with 4 characters, if someone grinding in the same area comes up and says something positive, I will offer to let them join the group and watch what I do, I just repeat the above quote to the "OMG HAX" crowd, and go on about my business, never hear from a GM or had anyone keep bugging me.

When asked if I am Chinese, there is always: "Me Chinese, me play joke...", always good for a laugh.

I somewhat have been getting the alliance on my server used to my presence by hanging around IF occasionally when i have to go learn new skills, by doing this they have taken a liking for what i am doing and made a few interesting friends with an interest in multiboxing, but also i have other alliance backing me up and telling the noobs that still call me bot that i am not :P, but yeh, i worked out also with keyclone if you make your (ENTER / standard keyboard keys not pass)

You could do this

press shift + enter (that will open your say on all chars by bypassing the do not pass rule by holding shift)

hold shift and enter your message

press shift + enter to post it to all clients

This scares the shit out of people at best but also some good laughs, because when people start yelling bot, you can reply back with all 5chars at a time and say they they are a bot or l2play or any of the standard insults :P.

[Slats]

Or just press / and remove enter from being used on the clones in keybindings for those not using software.

Char3: /dnd [Pst Char1 for the 1st msg] I play 5 chars on 5 accounts using 5 computers hooked up to 1 keyboard. I use in-game /assist and /follow macros. For more info on multiboxing, see www.dual-boxing.com. Pst Char4 for more info.

i got flamed by these noobs for lvl'ing 5 toons in valley of trials and decided to be nice and civil about it, explaining what i do and how i do it. Any way, they werent having a bar of it so i decided to move on. In which they followed me and tried poorly to kite my mobs.

10 mins later i get a /w from a GM stating a harrasment claim has been made, i recieved this in my inbox.

id think twice about advertising dual-boxing ingame. Seems this clause is there for the gold spammers. but apparently when this GM saw what i was doing and there was nothing he could do, he decided to hit me with this.

Thanks for the info. I haven't had any negative run-ins yet in my juvenile multi-boxing life but when I do I'll be sure to just put them on ignore and/or report them for harassment.

I find this completely outrageous. I'd send a ticket and try and speak to someone from account management, this sort of thing takes the piss.

I'd be very curious to see what will happen as clearly the people who were following you were the harrassers. They are the ones who should be punished, not soeone who is legitimately multiboxing, and to avoid answering 20 questions links them to a website.

Bastards.

[drtheman]

i completely agree.

Further to the story, after the their 8th poor attempt to kite my mobs, i opened a GM ticket complaining about it. The ticket never recieved a response and i logged out about 4 hours after the incident occured.

This i know was blatantly ingnored by the GM as these scrubs who ticketed me had theirs opened and actioned within 10 mins, based on the time between the incident and the time i got the warning.

outrageous, sure is. Im going to limit my boxing to 2 - box on my main server and roll on a "multi-box friendly" server for my 5 man. Any suggestions on where i can find a home for my new 5-horde team?

Oceanics are just too full off immature people. I really miss US servers, but unfortunately my time zone isnt raid friendly for a US time zone server.
