Can you multibox in AoC?

[Evilseed]

Now that AoC is out, has anybody tried to multibox in the game?

I'mma pick up a copy or 2 today.

I've heard there is no /follow command in AoC

So it's doubtful without something like that.

Well, with enough devotion, yes.

There had even been an official statement that multiboxing was not against there policy.

But without conveniences like /follow (Altho who knows, might be implemented sometime.) it's going to be hard to manage and very likely frustrating at times.

As I understood it, the /follow command was in there but not operative. Seems to me to be the basic building block without which no multiboxing is going to go more than 10 feet before 5 characters have headed off in 5 slightly different directions.

With some creative use of buttonry, and seperate turning keys for every character. Traveling could be coped with. Not sure about the combat system tho. I haven't actually played, I'm theorycrafting based on assumptions.

But hmm, I suppose it wouldn't be undoable, just not very easy. x)

I saw one post on the AoC Vault about it....the guy claims that /follow is in the game and "works" - he said that it is fine but you just happen to get stuck evereywhere...on various objects...each top step of stairs etc.

Assist is in as well...he was waiting for his special gaming keyboards though and didnt use his other characters as one ought to...they were kind of bots but I guess with the right key duplication software it should be fine...

If it does in fact have an auto follow it should be doable. In previous games like EQ the auto follow was there but also left you stuck in various places so you just have to plan accordingly and drive it like a tractor trailer.

I managed to try it out yesterday and /follow works. It only works with group members though. I think the tractor approach might be necessary though. I think the question is...is the game good enough to invest time and cash for the multiboxing...hmm...(plus, can my other comps even run it hehe)

I love this game. Unfortunately, it is a HOG on your system. If you're not running a 4x or 5x computer setup I doubt you're going to be able to multibox very well. If you've got 4x or 5x computers, sure, but... Shrug.

Im currently playing AoC there is a follow button, but it doesnt do anything

Im not sure if they plan on implementing it, but atm its not an option.
