Accounts w/ Different Names + Keyclone?

>but I'm not going to risk it with keyclone

I think you've missed the crux of the matter here. Multiboxing raises your profile. Keyclone does not. A raised profile means more GM attention.

At the time of writing this, Keyclone has absolutely no impact whatsoever on the risk to your account. There are multiple accounts right here, on these forums, of people proactively contacting GMs to explain their setup and being told it's fine. There are also lots of posts, including very recent ones on the WoW forums, saying that the way Keyclone operates is fine.

I'm not jumping on you here, not am I being pedantic for the sake of pedantry. I just want to be certain that nobody reading this thread will walk away under the mis-informed belief that Keyclone operates outside the current rules of the game, because it does not.

I understand Keyclone is safe to use. However, I also understand the image of a character being followed by two or more other characters, and the characters all casting synchronized spells can cause reports that cause investigations into the accounts. With manual multiboxing, I'm guessing I don't get reported often (or at all) because it doesn't look like that. So, I do think that multiboxing with Keyclone in particulary *can* raise your profile.

I don't doubt Keyclone is safe, I've read all the posts with GMs and CSRs saying that it's well within the TOS. I am just guessing it's not safe in my case - since people report that Keyclone + Multiboxing = ban, and I (as well as others I know) multibox with different contact name accounts without keyclone and have never received a ban.

Warning: THEORY ahead!
Also, we do know that Warden is invasive, although with good cause in my personal opinion, I'm willing to accept it - nobody (legit) wants botters/hackers and that it can probably tell that you're running Keyclone. Theoretically, Keyclone could be used by botters to very easily farm gold or powerlevel or something. For all we know, that DOES flag the accounts for 'investigation' to make sure that the accounts are being run within the TOS. Nothing wrong with that, just not a risk I'm willing to take. I bought the boxes, paid for my accounts, leveled my characters, but I made the stupid mistake of putting fake names on there. My own dumb fault.


Note: I updated my initial post so people understand I'm not questioning Keyclone's safety, just the risk in my particular situation.
