A few questions about multiboxing in WOW

[Sibroc]

Good day,

I would like and need to start fresh accounts. The idea is to 5 box so I can do pve instances by myself. Im not used with the new system blizzard uses with account management. Would you be so kind and answer some questions please...

- if I understand this forum right I would create 1 battle net account and place 4 subaccounts in it so I could login 5 toons?

- I still need to buy 5 copies of WoW for it so I can play 5 toons at a time or is it just needed to buy 1 game for 1 battlenet account that I could use with all subaccounts?

- do I have to pay the full monthly fee per account or is there a bonus I would get when I run 5 toons? Means do the subaccounts get cheaper?

- leveling my toons up without being able to powerlevel myself takes me around the same time it did like 3 years ago? or is it faster these days?

- and last but not least if it possible to multibox pve heroics at highest level with a good group (tank-heal-dps-dps-dps) or does it just have to much movement etc on boss encounters so multiboxing isnt possible?


Thanks in advance for your time and help!!!

oh, forgot to add... Im using IsBoxer. So controlling the toons is ok for me. Just having heavy movement on encounters is kinda hard for me

You need 1 battle.net account, which is free but includes no games outright, then you add 5 wow accounts ($5 each at the store now)

No discounts for multiple accounts, unless you feel like prepaying for up to 6 months at a time, you could theoretically stagger the 6 month subscriptions and pay a few bucks less a month per account, but that's a bit of a stretch for most people to assume that they will still play 6+ months into the future.

Anything is possible, some encounters may require more gear and more creativity, but it can usually be done. I remember we had a 10 boxer boxing 10 man ICC back in Wrath and he managed to do the lootship by himself, before it was nerfed.

It is almost certainly faster now, since the amount of experience required to level from 1-85 has been reduced repeatedly. If you're running an RAF team through dungeons with the LFD tool you're getting bonus experience a number of ways. From mob kills, from quests and from the LFD bonus. You'll probably gain four or five levels per run in the low-level dungeons and still be getting most/all of a level in the 80s. Especially at the low levels there aren't many gimmicks and most bosses are basically tank/spank because you'll be able to heal through most of their abilities.

Leveling gets faster every expansion.

I completed every heroic with the group in my sig. It's not faceroll, you still need to be able to do some micromanagement, but it's possible with just about any Tank/heals/DPS setup.

I guess I will give it a shot and roll a multibox of 5. thanks again!
