since this game is going free to play Feb 5th 2013, and nobody here has of yet bothered to explain
how to dual box this game (thanks for nothing) i thought i would post how i finally manage to do it;

STARTING:
start launcher, login, start game, select a character and get it into game.
close launcher while keeping open the game client with your character active.
open launcher again, login (different account), start game, select a character and get into game.
you should now have one launcher, and two separate characters, accounts and clients running.
CLOSING:
close either game client (does not matter which one you do first), then close the other game client.
you should notice behind the black launcher screen (when minimized) is now a new white error message window.
close the white window first, then the black launcher window.
if you don't do it in that order, you may have to restart the launcher several times to get back in game later.

I have used the above method three times each day, playing 90 minutes each time,
for the past few Months on the same 4 core 4Ghz 8gb Win7ult PC in two 1440x900 windows.
performance'wise the second client adds 50% more CPU,RAM,FPS utilization to both
game windows, so plan your multi boxing and hardware accordingly. you can always
reduce this impact using smaller game windows, but then it can be difficult to play them.
i primary a mystic with a boxed priest on follow for buffs only, so this works out fine.
priest buffs add 10-20% more party defense and offense, than mystic aura/buffs alone.
with this game going F2P you can expect boxing either class of healer to become popular.

if you want to remove the splash movies that delay the starting of each game client, use this updated solution;
