EQ2 People speak up!

[Bradster]

I am currently 6 boxing the game. I have 6 separate computers currently without any special hardware or software being used. Its all ironman! In the process of buying some Vetras to make my life easier. Will use the Vetras on my healers and my mages. Perhaps get one to link my tank and scout. Not sure yet.
Set up is:
70 Mystic
70 Warden
70 Paladin
70 Swashbuckler
70 Conjurer
70 Wizard
My biggest accomplishment is taking down Sothis. I am proud of that so I could get my Hoo'luk hats. Was difficult and it took me 3-4 times to accomplish and figure out the placement to do it.

Awesome man I too look forward to Hoo'luk pimphat for my monk. Mean time i'm almost of level to get the Blood adept hat which for my monk looks the same. A bunch of irl friends decided they wanted to play EQ2 with me, along with some friends from wow. I ended up down sizing to 2 boxing, I never got a chance to invite my alt accounts because my friends and I play in a static group. Having a blast right now, playing a Monk and Fury combo. I really enjoy monks. The fury is fun DPS. Not the best of the best 2 box combo, but its a lot of fun and enough to farm some names.

Our static group is normally
Berserker
Monk
Templar
Fury
Warlock (or his alt ranger)
Conjurer

Not sure what server everyone is on, but we are on GUK. Created a guild for now until we find people that play the hours we do 12:30am - 5am EST (we work 2nd shift). Guild name is <Ten Inches Unbuffed> ha, still hasn't been nerfed yet.

I have been 6 boxing for quite awhile now and have 19 level 70 characters. I mix them up and try different things.

Accnt 1: Guardian/Zerker/Dirge,
Accnt 2: Dirge/Troubador/Wizard,
Accnt 3: Necro/Warlock/Mystic,
Accnt 4: Wizard/Fury/Conjuror,
Accnt 5: Conjuror/Templar/Paladin,
Accnt 6: Wizard/Fury/Illusionist/Wizard

Those classes are all good or neutral I am working on my badboys group of 6 evil gnomes but they are only level 33.

Shadow Knight, Necromancer, Defiler, Brigand, Coercer, Warlock

I use Multiplicity with 6 computers/displays and a wireless keyboard and 6 receivers, No automation outside of the ingame macros.

I have my mains outfitted in legendary gear that I have collected running instances. And now I can take on pretty much any Heroic instance. Recently a guildee ask me to help him finish the Draco Mortuus vos Liberatio quest. So he hit the Spirit of Do'Ellin, a 70^^^ ghost dragon then my group killed it, afterward he commented how easy it was for my group to take out.

Right now I am working on the Epics in Sof, and finishing the Castle Mistmore portion of Swords of Destiny Quest. I hope I can complete these things befor the next expansion.

Tempted to go to EQ2 from EQ1 and 6 box it. Have 2 boxxed it before and it is a fun game to play. Hopefully Kunark for EQ2 will be as cool as it is in EQ1. For now, think I will just stay in EQ1, far too much invested in it and still having fun playing it. Just the idea of starting over and building a whole new 6 box army from the ground up. My current bot army was pieced together over the years. I'd probably do an all gnome set up as well if I started over, provided they can be the classes I want.

[MistrOrnge]

Yeah I am an altaholic as well. Have several six box groups as well. My 70s group, my mid 50s group, my low 50s group, my mid 40s group, and a high 20s group I just started. My 70s would still be my 60s group if I hadn't stopped playing all my alts to level them to 70 before Kunark. Finally I have a group at max level prior to it increasing and I have been playing since 1999. Gotta have goals right?

any of u guys playing eq2 gotten keyclone to work on it? or a other way of sending keys to all the clients? Im using innerspace atm, cant get it to work :roll:

[MistrOrnge]

I was told by the maker of keyclone that it won't work with EQ2. So I gave up on it. Have 2 Vetras on order to improve my boxing.

With expansions coming out for EQ1 and EQ2 that includes the full game and all prior expansions, I am seriously considering moving over to EQ2 and 6 boxxing there from the ground up.

I want to play on a crowded server. Think AB had a good amount of players on it. I like to 6 box for fun, but also like raiding and will have 1 character that I will concentrate on and get guilded. How friendly is the average EQ2 player to 6 boxxers? How well does 6 boxxing work on EQ2 compared to EQ1? I played a short time on EQ2 and 2 boxxed it, which worked great, but I thought anything more would be much harder to do then EQ1 since in EQ2 you don't really make camps ...at least at the low levels I achieved (highest level I got was 31). Are there instances through most of the levels that I can use? Gonna decide one way or the other by Nov 10th.....maybe sooner, since I have 2 accounts(maybe even 3 accounts lol) on there I can start working up now.

[MistrOrnge]

EQ2 is much easier then EQ1 in my opinion. You can hit buttons so that a spell or skill will follow another skill which speeds up boxing. Also there is implied targeting so you can just highlight the tank and you will attack whatever he is attacking. Overall a lot easier in my opinion.
Generally most people are a bit awed when I tell them I six box. Though on occasion I run into some moron that immediately thinks I am botting. Some don't seem to know the difference.
I am running EQ2 on 6 separate computers. I am sure you could do 2 on one system. The system requirements are such I'm not sure how many more you could get to work.
I ran a berzerker, fury, and dirge for a while until I branched out and added more classes. Anything is possible really.

Got Keyclone to work with Eq2 im using innerspace to force the eq2 windows to stay locked forground, works like a charm.

But i have a new problem now, i get a direct x error when having more than 4 clients on my pc... any one else get this?

Btw my system can hadle it

[MistrOrnge]

How did you get it to work? I still can't get the macro keypresses figured out. Do you know if there is a how to somewhere. Documentation on this software seems minimal.
