    Makes me recall what i heard years ago on vent. Oathbreaker was pretty angry. He is the author of isboxer's competitor keyclone. He contributed alot to the community. He's the author of oque the premades addon. He also made the incredibly useful l omail addon. He said that after Lax took over dual-boxing.com he took steps to deny competitors a foothold there.

    Just remember what ol' Jack Burton does when the earth quakes, and the poison arrows fall from the sky, and the pillars of Heaven shake. Yeah, Jack Burton just looks that big ol' storm right square in the eye and he says, "Give me your best shot, pal. I can take it"

    Uhhh... I'm pretty sure Keyclone/Rob/Tinymasher is the author of both Keyclone and oQueue, not Oathbreaker.

    Is that what Rob's been telling everyone? You can read about Lax's elaborate plan to "deny competitors a foothold here" () and all the drama here:

    To everyone, I'd recommend not turning this thread into something besides a thread about a new multiboxing tool/script.

    >_> We don't just ban people here because they disagree with something or make a snide comment. If that was the case this would have been empty long ago. The point of the last statement of my prior post was because this thread could easily go offtrack.

    It'd be great if someone would come along with a fancy product and light a fire under Lax's ass to get the next generation of software out.

    But, I think Svpernova said it best in a different thread about new multiboxing software:

    Networkable
    Keymap / Hotkey configuration
    Easy drop in macro creation

    Sit in IRC all day and answer questions about your product.
    Sit on a forum all day and answer questions about your product.

    It would be nice to see all this in a free product, GL.

    That's why my first post in this thread was cautious, but at the same time AHK can do lots of bad things and if you just follow the rules of the game you're playing all should be well.

    -Easy to use and to setup. -> definitely
    -Instant PiP swap and accurate mouse broadcasting -> I think a 1s PiP swap delay is acceptable for WoW (i.e. the hotkeynet one), but accurate mousebroadcasting is imo far more important
    -Keymap / Hotkey configuration -> iirc the keyclone way could be enough for most people
    -Possibly network support -> not sure how many people would need this
    -Macro support -> I have no idea how many use a build in macro system vs the ingame ones

    I don't think sitting entire days on forums and on irc is a real requirement for a product to be successful. If a new open source tool becomes widely used, the community itself will offer more than enough support (e.g. hotkeynet). Besides, isboxer is incredibly powerful and the only thing it can't do is doing your dishes. My guess is that most multiboxers only use a fraction of the isboxer features, and in order for an open source tool to be successful I believe that covering the most used features would be enough. Point being, with less features (complexity) there is less need for support, and none will expect the same levels of support for a free tool that isboxer gives.

    Why you decided to quote my general reply to JackBurton boggles my mind; but if you quoted my text to ask me the question directly, then my answer is... I didn't write the tool, I don't play EQ2, and I have no idea.

    It has been Rob, not Oath, who invented all this stuff.
