How can i box easily without having to buy keyclone

[Eteocles]

There's also a difference between "help" and "doing it for you" ;p ALOT of multi-boxing will require specific work you'll do yourself that noone else CAN do, best to learn that now

And HAY Ked, go read my new karaoke ;p

what forum is it in? i can't find it

[Ughmahedhurtz]

i wanna box but im not the best with comps so maybe someone can talk to me on a vent or something

Look, while we're a really helpful bunch here, I have a suggestion for you. (Don't take this the wrong way.) If you can't figure out one of the non-keyclone tools and how to get it working with the mountain of data already in the stickies, walkthroughs and tutorials, maybe multiboxing isn't something you're cut out for. Seriously, there are a TON of variables to consider and different situations you'll need to comprehend and adjust for. Consider this a challenge, if you will.

I look forward to hearing how you progress. Good luck!

It's amazing how helpful and friendly, and also how tolerant people are on the forums. If it was up to me, I'd probably just flame the crap out of this guy as he apparently has no interest in doing anything for himself and just wants someone to do things for him.

Ked, general as always, still on page 1 ;p

You can multibox without any extra software at all. Just run multiple copies of WoW (windowed mode recommended) and alt-tab through them. You can only control 1 character at a time this way, but it will at least let you see what your machine(s) can handle.

Also, there are a lot of excellent resources here about setting up several different multibox software solutions. Check the sticky threads in the appropriate forums, the search button, and the WIKI. You can find everything and more there that you need in order to make a decision about which solution you want to proceed with.


To be brutally honest, setting up any of the various multiboxing software is probably the *easiest* and by far the *fastest* part of the whole process. You will spend far more time learning to play your group effectively, setting up UIs, figuring out talents and group roles, writing macros, and things like that.

If you download the script for wow broadcasting with Autohotkey, you can get a start, BUT as everyone has said, that is the easy part. I'm just starting out myself and I am very familiar with programming yet there is still a learning curve. Try two just by alt-tabbing between them. By doing that you can figure out what you will need and go from there or whether you want to even fool with it.

Yeah, sadly I believe the conversation goes something along these lines...

Q: Can I have my cake and eat it too?
A: No.


Sadly, the answer given isn't always the one you want to hear... You will either have to work very hard to learn how to use a free software alternative or pay the money and get an easier-to-use version. Either way, work will be involved to set up macros and get moving with multiboxing.

This isn't exactly a straight-out-of-the-box plug and play type of hobby. Think of it like building model cars -- the point isn't to show off the shiny model car on your mantle once you're finished -- they joy is to build the car in the first place. Showing off the model once it's finished is just a testament to the work you put into it.

I'm going to be very unproductive and add something that doesn't add or help the conversation:

I want a pony!

I want a tiger! :< The Zul'Gurub one preferebly.
