First of all, greetings. I've been lurking on these forums for a couple of weeks now, and finally took the plunge 2 days ago and now have a second account and have started fiddling around with the whole dual-box thing. Personally, I blame Youtube; I stumbled across a short vid of 5 gnome mages frostbolting the flora and fauna back to the stone age. A few google searches, and I trip into this site.

Well, my first attempts at D'boxing ( is it wrong that I keep referring to it, in my head, as Hot Boxing? ) have met with medium degrees of success. Both toons jump when I hit the space bar. Slave follows the master when I hit the 'follow' macro, things go kaboom when I hit the 'fireball' macro and so on.

The problem I am having so far is, I think, mostly software related. I'm currently using Auto Hot Keys...ughh. Ease of use and reliability seem to be up (down?) there with Windows 98. Installed it, blatantly plagarised someone else's script (well, less plagarism, more copied word for word...*whistles*) and thought I was good to go. Silly old me I've found the script needs reloading every 15 minutes or so, stutters and is, in general, a bit of a sod.

Can anyone give me any advice on, and reasons for, which software to try? An awful lot of people here seem to think Keylogger (?) is the way forward. Other sites indicate that it's not all that reliable when it comes to aftercare etc etc. Octopus doesn't seem to be kept current anymore.

I didn't expect this to be easy to get sorted out- nothing worthwhile ever is (hell, you should have seen my first attempts at skiing). I don't mind paying for software; the mentality of ' I can afford 2+ PC's, 2+ WoW accounts but can't afford software' is laughable. I just would like to draw on collected experiences and get things ship-shape from the word 'go'.

Lastly, people who make comments along the lines of 'L2play nubz' or 'L2script, Autokeyz da shiznit' are cordially invited to make love elsewhere :P Thanks in advance for any input folks.
