Is this really allowed?

[Yetiman]

Hi all, forgive me if I have missed the FAQ or anything that explains this, but I am looking to Multibox 3-4 accounts, is this 100% legit? What is the best add on for it, I see there is one on the main page but also another one?

Is this really allowed? I want to do this but really do not want to get banned

Thanks

Just to make sure...what game are you wanting to multi-box?

Khatovar has a great post going in another thread:

IF any mods read this, you might want to take a look and sticky it.

Thank you all for your quick replies. I read the Wiki and some great information in there, I did not realize the wiki would contain that!

World of warcraft is the game I will be playing...

From what I see a lot can be done with it - but I cant see how I could say tank and heal and DPS in a heroic or an instance? I understand I would have to have the most used spells on certain key numbers etc, but can I set the tank to focus on 1 mob the healer to focus on the tank and the DPS on another? I know this is going OT but don't want to make a million and one threads. Very interesting Concept. I have been basic multi boxing for years and this will make life so much easier

A trinity group (tank/heals/dps) is by far one of the most challenging multiboxes you'll ever do. Lots and lots of micro management there. How do you do it? Well the best thing I can suggest is create a team at level 1 and play them together, build the team from the ground up and you'll see where you start having problems. As you have problems you'll develop macros for situations that allow you to handle those issues. You'll build muscle memory and reflexes and tactics...

I can tell you that if you jump straight into a trinity group @ 80 you'll spend a LOT of gold repairing and be very frustrated as you learn - it is possible, but the leveling process was easiest because as your characters grow, so does your setup.

You'll want to take a look at the macro sections in the wiki and read through some of the general help threads. All the info you need is there and more!
It's not as hard as you might think, but may take a bit of work to get set up the first time. Once you are done, you'll be rolling through everything with no problems.

Good luck!

Thanks again all, I must admit I am very technically minded and just find it hard to get my head around! I will be reading a lot and hopefully set this up on the weekend - can see it being very fun and interesting

^^ this.
In all honestly its quite a bad idea to jump right in like that, grab 3 of one class, learn the ropes, go from there.

For tanking/healing/dpsing I use macros instead of spells directly on my alts. An example is that I use the Numpad keys to pass through keystrokes to my 'team'.

Healer: Keys 4 (self target), 5 (1st DPS), 6 (2nd DPS), 7 (3rd DPS) and 8 (Tank) target various members of the group. /, *, - and + cast various heals so a combination of 5 followed by * would target the first DPS char and then cast X type of heal on them.

DPS: Keys 0, ., 1, 2, 3 are 'DPS' and utility keys. The attack keys (generally I use 0 and 1) all use macros like this:

#showtooltip Spellname This ensures that the macro shows the correct details of what spell is used
/cast [target=party1target] Spellname This casts the spell at the party leaders target - generally my tank is always set to leader which gives me the luxury of knowing that all the DPS will actually be targeting my target for once >.<

Just a rough guide and I'm sure that the Wiki will contain tonnes more ideas on how to run a trinity setup
