Questions about Dual Boxing on 1 PC

[Steven88]

WoW, that sucks having to go through all that. I wish I would have read your story before I bought one. I did alot of research (read hundreds of posts) and the majority seemed very pleased.

Hope I never have to contact customer service!

It makes one Helluva monitor, especially using it for two boxing from one pc, like having two monitors built into one.

Question about dual boxing to TV's. You gotta love it

I am going to add an opinion here....

I have two copies of wow installed now because it is much easier to keep them seperate on my "bot" character because I really like to play him stand alone and not with all his drone commands which I have to setup differently than when I play him normally. (because I have to ensure that the keys arnt too awkward to work with when I am using the rogue as the main)

I highly recommend Trinity bars, as you can simply create extra buttons that simply in no way affect the blizzard defaults, and create duplicates with different "add on" locked keybindings..

Not to mention having two copies of wow keeps two completely two different settings and stuff too

Hi all,

FYI this will be my first attempt at dual boxing (figured i would start with two then move on from there)

Question #1. I am assuming you need 2 WoW accounts. Follow up, how do you get the second account without installing a second copy of the game?

Question #2. I just built a new PC configured with dual nVidia 8700gts cards running in SLI mode. Will I be able to dual box on one monitor with that vid card setup?

Question #3. I have my PC hooked up to a 47" Vizio HDTV (through a DVI to HDMI cable), do you forsee any issues using that as my monitor?

Hopefully the answers to these questions will be enough to get me started. My apologies if these questions have been answered elswhere in forums, i searched but did not see any related topics.

Thank you all in advance,
Steven - The DualBoxinNoob

The other advantage to the dual WoW directories is the Interface folder. I like to turn off Auctioneer and its ilk along with Omen, DBM, NECB, LootLink, etc. on my drones. My drones sit at around 8MB memory for AddOns.

That is great advice. Thank you.

I just created 3 different WoW directories. 1 for when i play 'regular' and 2 for when i am dual boxing.

Now if i can just get keyclone activated, i will be in business.

Question about deal boxing to TV's. You gotta love it

Hey, I think I should forewarn people about companies to avoid like the plague. High up on my list? Maxtor (now lolSeagate), HP, palm, and Nextel.
