The biggest down side to Multiboxing in AO is the lack of macro commands and how they can be executed. For example /follow doesn't take a parameter so you have to have your /follow target already selected. There is a way around this as I will discuss later.

Can you give more specifics on how you accomplish successful following? Is there a technique to ensure a particular group order in the party? All the overview information you posted is really nice but I would appreciate more specifics on how to setup your clients, keybroadcasting (what software works), etc.. I've always loved AO and have a couple 220 characters but I always had problems getting multiboxing to work very well.

I used Keyclone and it worked well for AO. If I recall correctly I sent all the invites at one time and then as they were accepted by the alts it automatically put the leader in the second slot (F2). If an alt crashed I had to drop the group and reform to get the order back for the crashed alt.

I will follow up when I get home.

Thanks for the info. At some point I want to start trying to get AO setup and until now there has been very little info on multiboxing it. If there is a way to get the entire group ordered in a particular fashion then Fkey healing would be possible. Also please tell how you handled multiple clients on one computer to minimize lag.

Updated client configuration with some info.

Thanks for the update. I had one little issue where follow was getting messed up by Octopus. Hotkeynet worked fine though so I may use that or actually start using Keyclone again. Been testing things out with 3 Soldiers and besides the lack of fancy macros similar to wow it seems to work.

Also do you have any nice scripts to share that you may be using? Not sure if the scripting system works with any combat stuff.

not trying to revive an old thread but, if there's already one made on the issue..why make another eh?

i used to play this game wayyyyy back in the day, like alien invasion had just come out. so while i'm questing to find another free game to box, I REALLY wanted to play this one as the side game and main game to box after i'm done testing the 180ish others on "the list".

anyway onto my question, i got 3 accounts registered yesterday(wafflefrieA B and C) but when i went to sign up #4, it said "too many acocunts registered under this email, please call customer service" even after smudging some of the details i wasn't able to get the account registered for some odd reason...ideas?
