From the thread on the official boards:

So, multiboxing if you control all 6 characters signally and you have to type a command for all 6 characters separately is ok. Multi-boxing with the use of hardware OR software which allows you to control 6 characters with 1 command is not ok and considered in violation of the spirit of the game as it gives the player(s) an advantage over other players.

What this means is that its perfectly fine to still have one keyboard for 6 accounts as long as you are controlling each client signally and uniquely. You can accomplish this with ISBoxer using keymapped steps while making no use of the repeater whatsoever.

I just changed my setup to comply with these "new" rules. A few examples:

First press goes to client1 second to client2 etc etc

Num9, client one invites all group, clients accept - I press 6 times and voila
NumComma, Client stops follow - I press 5 times
Q - Assist and autoattack 1 - Same thing i now have to press 5 times

I also have an elaborate keymap setup where i use 3-4 different ingame macros on each toon with the one of my "spam" button, depending on which mode set on my main guys keymap a different keystroke is send to a specific client. This button where before i had to hit once every sec, i now have to spam as it first goes to client 2 then 3 etc.

This complys with no simultaneous keystrokes or cloned keystrokes, and would be impossible for SoE to even determine or scan for since every action on all chars happen at different times.

It does however still give me the "unfair advantage" over other players. And SoE can just as she said at their sole discretion ban everyone they feel like for no reason whatsoever, so ya.

I think what started this was this being brought to attention on the PvP servers, where this indeeds gives a huge advantage everywhere except T8 pvp.


Im going to continue to box with the current setup i just posted, im fairly certain i wont get banned tbh.
Its ofcause up to you if you wanna continue to play, but i wouldnt break a sweat if you swich to a different round-robin kinda setup

Good luck!
