I can live with the hatred.

If someone has an issue with it, it's their problem not mine. I will not respond to any idiot - a good tactic Is to whack them on ignore the second they start giving you hassle. Nothing is more annoying to these guys than for them to spend 3 minutes typing a whisper to tell you how sad you are, only to realise that you haven't received it and they can't talk to you again

I initially thought about trying to minimise my multiboxing footprint. So I was thinking of mixing the look of my characters. Making sure they are all named something different perhaps even mixing classes.

Then I thought stuff it - created 3 shamans all named phonetically similar (all of them named after my 70 shaman). I made these new shamans look exactly the same, but different from my main shammy. I'm on a roleplaying server (don't do much) but figure the story for having these identical shaman is that my main is their father (he looks older and wiser - luck not design) and that he is showing his triplet sons the ways of the shaman.
