What they are saying: "Why are those guys following you? Why do they wear the same stuff? Did you pay for all of those accounts? Boxing is so unfair. Ebay? Lozer. Get a life. WTF? Retard. Gay." What they are thinking: "Damn, wish I could do that. That's so cool. This guy rocks! Lucky bastard. Maybe I can get mom to buy me more accounts."
multiple if you have the space, IMO.
Allows me to save video settings and customize their interface, as well as not having to retype all the account names.
Different directories for different video settings and interface.
On different hard drives, for faster hard drive reads... (in theory).

In my latest machine, I stacked 3 125GB 12,000 RPM HD's on each other with the game installed on each. MUCH BETTER PERFORMANCE!!!

FFS.
One Copy of WoW.
Increased performance from load times and texture loading.
Reason? Cache, on your CPU, RAM and HARD DRIVE.
This is basic computing knowledge guys.

Yes, I agree 100% with Wilbur. There is no reason to have multiple copies.
If logging in is the issue, then write a script that does it for you. I'm pretty sure that does not violate the EULA.

Actually, it does.

Well tough then, I guess. Haha.

I am going to disagree. In theory, what you are arguing makes sense. But in practice, I disagree as to the extent those caches make a difference for WoW. Only testing will reveal what is truly best and there are a lot of variables to consider. I do reserve the right to be wrong about this as I have not tested software setups very well.Originally Posted by Wilbur

I have only tested this subjectively(as in I don't have numbers), but 5 clients running from separate directories is significantly slower. Especially in Shattrath...oh god.
Though I would like to set video settings individually for each character, the performance I would have to give up in the process is far from worth it. Just my experience and opinion, of course.
