What made you start boxing

[Eloxy]

Randomly saw a movie of ellay on YouTube got me in. First started 3boxing then made another for a 4 shammy team. Miss tbc pvp

I was solo playing WoW when 5 identical shammies ran past me in Elwyn forest. I whispered them asking how they did it and he/she was really helpful answering all of my questions.

I was sick of fail groups and loved the idea of being able to run things on my own. So once I checked it out and found that it was legal I started 5 boxing.

I'm a slow learner and I'd say it took me a good 12 months before I felt like I knew what I was doing.

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

Pretty much that, I hate relying on people who have no clue on how to work together... I was in Wintergrasp and I saw the most amazing thing.. a 5 Boxer w/ 5 DKs all casting AOD and demolishing the advancing Alliance.. I started wispering him and he sent me to this website, and I knew I had found my salvation! Now everytime someone wispers me w/ a "WTF how you doing that?" I remember those DKs named "Bones" and I tell them to visit www.dual-boxing.com for information.

I started back in BC when there was no dungeon finder, so getting a group together for a run took a while. I wanted some gear off of some heroic, I forget which, but I got the group together, I flew to the stone, waited for a second to fly to the stone so we could start summoning, got 2 ppl there, then the tank bails and the group falls apart. I had spent 2 hours up to that point and I was like "there has got to be a better way"

I then made a new account, started small, alt tabbed boosting with a paladin, dual screens made it a bit easier than it could have been, but still, hard to keep track, and I said to myself "there has got to be a better way" then I started googling, found the Xzin PvP videos, and Ellay's arena videos, found this site, and keyclone, and the rest is history. I took a break from wow cause shaman were doing shitty DPS, but they got a few buffs, and now they are on top again. Not sure if I want to keep paying for them all (currently using the free 7 day promotions on AV weekend to get geared up again.)

I started in EQ 1, without using boxing software and using multiple computers i boxed and farmed many of the zones.

for wow i was doing 3 boxing, tank dps heal, then went to 5 after seeing the video fat tire posted

i was boxing it seems in BC days no software i just had my mage and pally on there own acconts for food water and her profs for the pally i used to keep the mage in the city at raid time on my laptop selling portals all the time making some gold. easy gold back then.

saw a live steam someone told me to watch (prob a lot did) i really like this and did why not try it so got a old pc and started 3 boxing with keyclone as the other software could not work over networks. now on isboxer for a good year + and love it. even help when i can in the irc channels.


reasons why.

1) LFG just came out guild runs die my 50 players a day that used to ask me to tank for them stoped. as they all started using LFG.

2) wotlk seemed more fun did not have time to do dayey quests and all the dungeons on my mage, ok ins que for tank 50min for the mage and wonted more alts (hunter. shammy and a lock.) and wonted to try out see what i could do i was very happy what i did in wotlk. boxing a raid boss with 2 real players is the most stessfull thing i done ever but wow after the 60 or so wipes and he killed him and had access to the full loot WOW! it feels so good. to work so hard and kill something. you know u was doing half the work for.

3) just saw a lot of videos over the years ok shammys x5 is not something i really wonted to do. i did do them in the end as a backup for cata but that backfired and i ended up running deathkights that i love they just feel a bit automated sometimes with the same bar to easy to play.. saw the 5 mages here and gmones and allways wonted to have mages played them since start of wow and really love the mage class i do love the lock class as well with pets. but am back on mages and the game has changed 100% for me. made goblin mages and well i got them to 80 and hated them.

whats next?
will i quit wow? well before i moved back to ally yes i was, I was paying to log on and hating it. 3 years of ally is going to be hard but i wonted to be with more boxers so as i had reroll a group i moved. Do i wish i moved? not really it was fun but to be fair we did not do a lot together. though i find it hard to spell i do like to talk a lot in chats and guild chat good job dual-boxing.com got irc . in a guild of boxers sometimes its dead and though i talk noone really wants to.

I just hope my mages can do and offer me what i need out the game. even if its running old stuff for T5 and just doing random stuff i Love AV and can spend days there just doing it so thats all the pvp i need and i hope blizzard brings back some kinda random pvp in the world i can have some real fun with. I still do not think am on the right server to be fair that's a shame. the server i feel i should be on has a lot of world pvp and its RP something am very much into. but to be fair i could not level on it there was tom much world pvp so i would have to think about moving there.


anyway i talk to much....

The number 1 thing that got me going was xxin and oathbreaker on magtheridon. saw them a few times in bc when i was getting started, and it's been all downhill from there.

[cmeche]

It was the Veronica Hmgt vid that did it for me.

I saw this dude named Ace, he had a whole bunch of toons with ACE Variations, A pally with 4 mages, and a priest set aside for doing randoms. I haven't seen him around for a long time. Oh yeah he did have toons with King, Queen, Jack, and such too I think, but bliz made him change those cause they wanted to keep open the idea of making those titles.

But if you read the forums here Ace, I bow down to you in thanks for opening up my eyes to the possibility of multiboxing.

In fact the first time I saw him was when I wanted to take over Hala when I was on my level 80 hunter, and I did a /who for Nagrand, and I saw all the same names like his, and I started chatting with him and thinking about it, I felt like I was one of those people I see when they turn and look at me with the WTF look on their toon's face as I ride by them. I was one of those people, but after realizing that he wasn't hacking, I started googling multiboxing, searching on forums, and watching videos on it, and came to the obsession of wanting to do it myself. Now I can't imagine leveling up a toon without having 4 others to back him up LOL

Had 4 accounts in EQ1 but was never a serious boxer, was just for leveling some alts that never ammounted to anything . Was not using any software just 3 computers and some external numpads.

When WoW came I quit EQ and started with 1 account but sort of retired before BC and restarted with EQ. Returned to WoW when some RL friends started it up, changed main from a rogue to a warrior tank and added another account (priest) to heal myself, later added a third account with a mage so killing would go a bit faster. Boxed some normal and heroic dungeons with 2 or 3 toons with friends still using multiple comps and numpads during BC but mostly during wrath.

With Cata with every quest beeing soloable I almost dropped some accounts but ended up buying 2 more togheter with isboxer. Trigger was seeing some boxing videos and reading Ualaas guid to isboxer and thinking to myself that sounds like fun, wonder if I can do it

Am currently boxing a mixed team and have just stared on heroics (12 orbs so far) so I am bit behind the curve. With isboxer and my own full group (or at times with 1 or 2 RL friends) dungeons are fun again.
