Would you have the same attitude?

LOL... a bunch of elephants following... the thought of it brings a tear to my eye

My first multi-box was actually a horde and alliance character shortly after the game came out. A level 1 gnome and level 1 orc I corpse-dragged to the arena in STV. Most people hadn't even hit 60 yet and this was before people had mods to use 'l33t sp33k' to talk cross faction. I would coordinate fights between players and take bets from spectators. Did it for about a month till a sore loser rogue ruined it by ganking my low level toons constantly and some other players took the operation over. After that I did what alot of multiboxers did back then and just drug a healer behind me(Hunter/Druid) and grinded to 70 and did some battlegrounds. I did some other small combinations of 2-3 after that but didn't do the full five till after Keyclone came out.

I never really thought about it until I started setting up my first team, but I believe that I ran into a 5 man sPriest group in a BG once. I didn't notice their names, but I do remember that they were all in the same guild and were absolutely WRECKING my mage (and the other players in WSG at the time) the just DoTd and ran away... and I was dead.

But I just thought it was a premade, so never even put together that it was a multibox team. I think unless you see one in a city, there is really no way to tell easily, as the odds of running into them in the world is small on most servers. I really don't know how many multiboxers are on my server. but I hope there are more!

/on topic - no i'd never report a boxer and wish I had seen one waaaaaay sooner

/off topic
I can't remember where I got the idea to multibox but it was primitive before I found this sight a few months ago. I was 2 boxing on 2 machines and 2 keyboards a priest/lock from 60-70 out of shear boredom and my friend quit wow. I proved that healing and cursing is definitely possible while drinking in the lower level dungeons in TBC. I was still learning so I only got a few guys who would let both toons in while we all leveled post TBC. I turned to 2 boxing because I got sick of getting off of my alts to use my priest to heal other guildee alts and decided to make 2boxing my fun way to heal.

Then cancelled my buddy's account after deciding to make a few more chars and be able to transfer them if needed. A few months ago I ran in to a mage team in AV that were bungie-cording just like my 2 box set up, although I had never thought to run in PvP after getting totally dismantled in a practice arena. It took me a few months to find this forum after fearbombing that mage team in to digestible pieces for my 2 meat shields, read as happy as shit I'm getting healed in AV warriors.

After ~2hrs of reading this forum I jumped on a private server to see if my machine could handle it. Another 2-4hrs later, I was cursing this whole forum and my confused dog at 10pm on Friday night...I had to wait until 8am to get in to a store to buy 3 more copies because there is no way to buy keys online!!!

...this was the first macro I made that I did not see on the forums or have already from dual boxing:
/r google multibox wow. I play 5 different accounts on 1 computer. cheers

Heh, my first multiboxing encounter was a buddy of mine in SWG. One of his friends started loaning him an account, and then another. At the time, and for several years afterward, I thought man you're crazy but it was nice and convenient when we were out questing. Didn't really think much of it past that.

Never really saw one in WoW that I know of but if I'd seen them in a city I would have been like, 'oh cool that's just like my buddy', and if I'd seen them out in some remote area grinding through mobs I would've been 'farmer!', but I don't think I've ever reported anyone, what's the use?

My transition however has been completely organic, just progressed through a natural series of events.

Leveled a warlock to 60 and spent the next few months LFM. Said forget this I'ma play a priest or a warrior, people always want them in groups. But I'd tried warrior and no heals sucks... played priest but have to stop every mob or 2 to drink.... hrmm... I'll play them together (cause warrior was on wife's account anyhow)!

Got them to 60, then 70.... moved warlock to a new account so I could powerlevel with the priest (infinite mana anyone?). Then a buddy gave me his mage account... well hell, raiding sucks, let's go hardcore 5 boxing, lol.

[H2BH]

Well i had no idea about multiboxing but i had 3 accounts and played all in windowed mode and moved the mouse over the screens moving my chars, but then i got kinda tired of changing each time and made some research on the internet and found this site and i just wow

And havnt met any boxer yet, but if i do im defo gonna smile .

And some has said to "WTF" when my 3 dwarfs running on follow :P and some has even said "Damn ill report you" when i take so much mobs that them are getting sad about it :P
