What made you start boxing

[Sam DeathWalker]

Just seemed to me to be the right way to play. EQ1 was my first MMO and instantly I could see that two guys is going to be better then one guys ....


Started 2 wizards on SZ, figured out how to connect 2 pc's to one keyboard (I guess I was the first to use focus fire multiboxing) and then went to 4 wizards (I remember how nice it was when I got the spell rend I was able to one shot mobs in Emerald Jungle coined the phrase "instakill"), then added a cleric/warrior/chanter, and then just kept adding lol ...

Looks like someone remembers pvping against me when I only had 4 wizards:

1. I can't stand pugs.

2. i work 10-13 hour days and usually 6 days a week. committing to a raid time or even heroics with my guild is quite difficult.

3. watching youtube video of boxers in action was very inspiring

4. I can't stand pugs. yes, I hate them that much

This, plus Team Wizzy in DAoC. I've semi-multiboxed (as in, 5 accounts but no boxing software) for a few years before discovering hardware boxing about 6 months after WoW went live. Been boxing WoW and now Rift ever since.

Started in EQ once I saw how hard it was to solo mobs for XP. Never looked back.

My first toon was a human warrior in EQ1. I played him solo, grouped when i could, but soon found out that having to rest for many minutes to regin my health sucked ballz. I bought a 2nd PC and started a cleric.. I have been hooked since. When i started my cleric /follow was not even in the game yet. They added that a few months after the game went live. I would steer two guys with two mice/keyboards at the same time. one n my lap and one on the desk.

I also boxed as many as 5 accounts the old school way. at/tab ftw. I was 3 boxing WoW years later when i saw 5 lvl 18 shamans stacked, running around one shotting things..all casting at the same time. I asked how and the rest is history ( they pointed me to this site )

Its very difficult for me to NOT play a full group now. The hatred of pugs..waiting around etc.. I will try other games.. but If i cant eventually run my own full group.. I might not be there long.

I was pvping on my hunter back in BC, and got facerolled by 5 human warlocks in wsg. Started googling and what not, ended up giving it a shot, and here I am.

i rolled a lock, had my wife's account that had the priest on it, had the priest on follow, and kept alt tabbing to heal. Googled how to play multiple toons at once in wow and stumbled upon this site, and now i'm 10 boxing.

Damn this is addictive. Like crack for nerds...

[Zub]

pretty much the same, was using the wife's account on follow, alt-tabbing.
Had enough of asking for instances (that was before the LFG tool) and saw a few vids, (Ellay and Vyndree notably) and added a few trial accounts.
3boxed at first then 5boxed through the end of TBC and Wrath

i work crazy hours and there's no way to raid on my schedule. started 5boxing so i could run dungeon groups while hanging out with mates in gchat. ... now it's turned to 10boxing and i assume soon 25.. ack!!

[Khatovar]

I started with the old alt-tab method in EQ2 because I wanted to level up my crafters a bit for something or other. I don't even remember. It didn't last long, it was meant to be a very short term thing.

Eventually our friends convinced us to come back to WoW and try out that there Burnin' Croosayd. Since raids could be 10manned, we decided we wanted to give it a try, but we didn't have enough warm bodies and no one wanted to heal. I'd wondered if I could do the same thing in WoW that I'd done in EQ2 and found the whole boxers vs bots junk on the forums, so I decided to look into it further. Lo-and-behold, dual-boxing.com.

I started multibox because I don't want to play with random strangers and it's not possible to play with irl friends all the time. Also I hate rushing through dungeons and often take short breaks (checking email, chatting etc) even inside dungeons. This is not possible if doing pugs.

You can also log in and log out whenever you want without having to care about feeling guilty abandoning other people.
