Multiboxing Tips: What was the one thing that really helped you move from a good multiboxer to a great one?

Learning to manage wife aggro. The best tip I can offer you is to take out the trash, do the dishes, and clean the house BEFORE she asks. As a bonus, rub her feet or shoulders without her asking. It goes a long way.

Finally, if she asks you to do something while you are playing - drop what you are doing no matter what it is. 1% left on the final boss? Stand in a fire and die and pay attention to your wife, no matter how trivial of a question it is.
She wants to know she is more important than the game and if you continue ignoring her...you'll find your multi-boxing time will be severely hindered.

Good advice for the guys with non-gaming wives, Daanji. Here's the other side.

Learning to manage wife aggro - by The Wife.

The best tip I can offer you is to take out the trash, do the dishes, and clean the house so I don't have to step away from the computer to do it. As a bonus, don't rub on me while I'm trying to play, unless it's going to be bow chicka wow-wow time. Breaking my concentration makes me PMS-y.

Finally, if I ask you to do something while I am playing - drop what you are doing no matter what it is. I've probably been sitting on my ass so long that my legs are numb and if I try to get up to do it, I'll probably fall over. And you don't want to feel all guilty that I hurt myself because YOU didn't step up and do what I asked, now, do you?

Of course, you're more important than the game, but you wanted a gamer chick, so suck it up, Buttercup.

Sam I am not sure if you remember this but I do. On the Sullen Zek PTR I was multiboxing three Mages with their pets and saw you coming out of the Dark Elf area. This was before you were boxing. Needless to say my Mages chewed you up pretty quickly lol. We use to play Age of Empires together too back in the original AoE/RoR days I went by Pacman23

I was also on the zek server. I was in ascending dawn. I boxed a monk named harrington weber, a gnome cleric named thufer hawat, and a bard named korbon dallus.

Good vs Nuetrals vs Evils... I miss those days. I would love to see WoW really shake things up and add a third faction. I think that would breathe alot of life into the game.

Reading this made me lol...... To which my wife looked at me with that "wth are you reading look". But like they say great comedy has some truth behind it.

For me...

Moving from four computers, each with its own keyboard, mouse and monitor...
To software boxing, with everyone on a single PC.

I used to 4 box in everquest, with 2 comps, and 2 accounts on each and alt tabbing between accts. Had no software help, just manually performing all tasks on one toon at a time. Was slow, and not very effective, but it worked. When I tried 5 boxing WoW with keyclone on one pc it was alot easier, although when i 3 boxed on a pvp server that wasn't so good when someone got bored and decided to mess with me.

You should try it when everyone finds out you are lvling a 2nd team via quests after becoming one of the most hated gankers on the server. Although that does make for some awesome world pvp

What made me a better boxer?
Simply grinding out ISBoxer and learning the ins and outs and how to apply it to mimic how i'd normally PVP as best as i could on a single character so that it felt seemless to go between multiple characters to singles. Other than that it was just getting use to my new keybinds and understanding just how to use all of my abilities on a round robin setup and tracking their cooldowns effectively. By doing this I became the top rated PVP boxer in the world in cata... last season getting glad on all 4 dks (though i did sell these before i quit, looked down upon here so i obviously didn't make an "OMG LOOK AT ME!" post and yes that was dual-boxing two of each in 3's)

Also people's dislike for me fueled me to be better than them :P

But I've since quit a second time I obviously have kept my accounts , but I likely won't be returning. Few months into quitting and no desire to play.
