Now now guys.... remember you were all noobs once too.

@ OP - you need to get one thing straight first up, you aren't going to find people in the multi-boxing community who will hold your hand for you and take you through the process step by step. Most multi-boxers are generally quite sceptical to people trying to get straight into the action without doing all their homework first, this is for a very good reason. Basically some of the things we do have the potential to be abused in ways which break the ToS (Terms of Use) for WoW. It can't be stressed enough, you must make sure you are 100% sure that everything you do is not in violation of Blizzard's ToS (the big wall of text which you agree to after every patch).

The best way to accomplish this is to read as much as you can from the wiki and forum stickies. I especially recommend reading the links to GM posts regarding multi-boxing. This way you'll also get an idea of what kind of reactions to expect from other players in-game.

I strongly advise against rushing in headlong without doing all the background reading, as it could easily result in account bans or suspensions. By the time you are done with this, you will probably have some more specific questions which you can search for on the forums, and if you dont find the answer then start posting for help. You'll get a much more positive reaction when you can show that you have made the effort to figure out the basics for yourself.

Good luck

*edit* can I get some of that popcorn now?
Ya good advice, i personally spent a good 2 weeks researching and reading as much multi-boxing things i could. Which includes videos and podcast initerviews.
Then after that i downloaded some of the software and tested it out with warcraft guests passes.
About a month later i decided multi-boxing was for me and upgraded my guest passes to full accounts + expansion.

So all in all, it took roughly 2 months from thinking this might be cool to do to actually doing it.

It's not for everyone, having all these screens moving at once can be a little disorientating, my roommate got nauseous from just watching me play.

I was typing out step-by-step instructions, but really, if you don't understand what to do from the wiki, then multi-boxing probably isn't for u, the software is pretty straight forward, macros are tricky if u don't have experience with them.
