Regarding "What we're doing moving forward - hardware boxing or nah?"...Originally Posted by z0k
Note that "Hardware-boxing or No-Boxing" are not the only 2 options moving forward...
Since the ToS change there are some fancy hardware configs that some folk are pursuing but the majority of boxing configs that I have seen in action and in discussions are what I would call "mouse-over-focus" boxing which is just on a single PC with no special hardware an no 3rd Party Software involved while playing...
Many folk are using some 3rd party software to help size/line up the WoW windows before playing. That can be done even before logging into the WoW clients and then shut down the window arranging software before logging in and starting play. If Blizz were to take exception to that the window arranging software the client windows can be arranged manually with no 3rd party software...
It is also convenient to toggle on/off the windows mouse-over-focus settings via 3rd Party software and that can also be shut down before even starting the WoW clients... If Blizzard were to balk at that for some reason the mouse-over-focus feature can be turned on and off with standard Microsoft Windows functionality...
If you are curious the following is as complete a list as possible of the approaches I have seen (only a few hardware related config stuff is mentioned):
