So... hardware multiboxing?

[bpkdasbaum]

Right now it's just a warning, the blue post stated that suspensions will follow "Soon thereafter, the warnings will escalate to account actions".
I recon the warning phase will last at least till Shadowlands launch and I continued playing every day with HKN after I received a warning for each of my wow licenses (6 in total).

Since only software was named in the policy update I plan on switching to hardware solution with one PC and Aster (Edit: Multiseat desktop virtualization superior to VM) setup:

Existing Hardware:

Slaves Display: Luckily I already own an LG 43UD79 42" 4k display with 4x 1080p PBP / PIP options, can be easily set switched via remote.
Master: Acer XB271HU
i7-7700K
16gb DDR4
GTX 1080TI
GTX 1660

Additional Hardware ordered:

8 ports KVM switch USB synchronizer 8 ports synchronous controller a set of keyboard/mouse control 8 PC
(had to order on aliexpress, no retailer has it in europe/france, amazon.com doesn't deliver it to europe T_T, kudos to jak3676 pointing towards the tech)

PCI-E USB 3.0 Extension Card with 5x + 2x USB
(need more USB slots for the keyboard inputs)

16gb DDR4
(was planning to upgrade for some time now anyway, running 5-6 wow clients brings me up to 12-13gigs, running the additional VMs with~4-5gigs would hit a limit)

4x HDMI cable

4x Display Port to HDMI Adapter (graphic cards have mostly only DP outputs)


Goal

Run 5x Windows via Aster (https://www.ibik.ru/)
Keyboard sends a signal to the KVM switch USB synchronizer
Each Windows receives it's own hardware keyboard signal
Each Windows runs one wow client
4 slaves run on 4k display via 4x 1080p PBP
1 master on main display
