World of Warcraft Classic Discussion Megathread

[waddles]

I am getting very curious why so many people new to multiboxing want to learn by boxing classic. Why not retail? Classic will be more challenging and lack many of the QoL improvements we have in retail.

I fit this demographic to some extent.

I've boxed EQ for awhile, but it was just ALT+TAB boxing. So, while I am new to IsBoxer boxing, I am familiar with the challenges inherent in controlling several characters at once, balancing automation with the ability to customize actions, etc.

I've been practicing in retail for the last several weeks. So in that sense I am learning, at least the basics, in retail. But I don't particularly enjoy actually playing retail.

I have known that I wanted to play classic WoW for a couple of months now. Once I made the decision to play, the decision to box followed pretty closely. I liked boxing EQ. I enjoy the independence. I like running dungeons more than questing. I like not having to worry if I am going to win a roll on an item. And frankly, I like the idea of being kind of a bad ass who has access to five or more max level toons, who can farm just about anything that a real group can farm, and who has access to all of the max level professions.
