Tribute To Ellay

[Daeri]

You sure the HMgt was Ellay? I thought that was someone that ran a 5 shaman team. Granted, I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure I know the video you are referring to.

Here is the Veronika H Mg T video I am thinking of.

Andby no means am I trying to say Ellay didn't have a huge imapact. I love the bastard, but just wanted to make sure Veronika got the love deserved as well.

It was one of Veronika's videos that introduced me to multiboxing back during BC

[Toned]

I boxed Everquest, in the traditional sense.
Five computers, each with a keyboard and mouse.
Two massive desks, in a rough L shape.

In warcraft, started with two accounts, and two boxes.
But unlike EQ, it was quite possible to play solo, which I did - basically filling two accounts.
A couple of years later, basically was ready to quit.

Then I see some of Ellay's movies and grab as many as I can find.
Which leads me to this site.

A bit of research and I pick up Keyclone and a third account.
Two days later, and massively interested in the game again...
Pick up two more accounts, making it five.
RAF on four of them, with assorted boosters - no tanks to speak of.

A year later, having read and re-read Zanthor's post - Zero to Hero about 25 times...
I try out IS Boxer, immediately messing with the configuration options to get my perfect set up.
And of course breaking a lot of things along the way.
A lot of patience on Lax's part, and its working as I'd like.

Would have quit a little over two years ago, except Ellay provided motivation to stick around.
And really want to thank both Rob (Keyclone) and Lax (IS Boxer) for great products.

I did the 6 boxing in EQ as well before Sullon Zek was released sorry Sam. The guy who got me into multi-boxing was Falkonn on Vallon Zek. My experience is almost identical to Uaala I started with a rogue and a druid for stealth farming back pre-bc. Then i expanded to my own pve 5man during BC nothing fancy alt tabing etc just to do instances. Then I saw Xbox videos clearing heroics with just shamans that made me start to browse Youtube. Then I ran across Ellay's first pvp video not the one listed in this thread, but his first arena video when he hit 2k. That's when I got Keyclone and came over here and ditched the alt tab boxing days!

No mention of Prepared in this thread? FWIW, I'm thankful to Ellay for setting up this community, Rob even though I've never used Keyclone it seems like it was a significant step in broadcasting software development for multiboxing, Freddy for making a powerful free product with great support, and Lax for developing the current best in class product making my life and other multiboxer's lives more enjoyable with our hobby.

Prepared was way after Ellay... He's another Sam just less public.

[Owltoid]

Wasn't Prepared on Yahoo! front page? I think that brought in a ton of multiboxers if any one event did.

[Powerwar]

Ellay and Zin also got me into boxing.

Good times

[Sam DeathWalker]

Well rats .... looks like Falkonn is playing AoC as of 2008, after doing EQ1 before me. And it does loook like he was six boxing (at least from his characters).

I think I was the first to control all toons from one keybaord though, but maybe not.

Ya its so odd that Prepared, who might be the strongest of us all, never hardly posts about stratagy, set up or anything .... I'm kinda sure he also moved to IsBoxer but to what extent?



Oh well back to IsBoxer programing lol will it ever finish.

[Toned]

I'll be honest Sam after you got your wizards all sync'd together is when I had the idea to sync a bunch of rangers lol.

[Fat Tire]

Veronika,Ellay and Vyndree got me into boxing with their vids.


Funny though talking about the old times, seems wow boxing has a shelf life.

[Seldum]

I think it was an article about Prepared which got me into multiboxing.

I would never have been able to multibox without everyones help here on these forums. You guys are doing an awesome job.

And thanks to Ellay for keeping the site running and contribuating to the community.

Ohh and ever since I saw Xzin's vids I have alwasy wanted to tryout the priest+4xmages.
