oh i've been having account two run account one thru instances for loot and such for a while now, but i've always had troubles with afking out, plus the switching back and forth to loot was a pain. Trying to quest like that was just a waste of time to me. But, with Octopus, i can set my main to follow my noob around and keep her healed as she quests. hopefully once expansion comes out, i'll have two that can level together to 80. Plus the idea to have two different wow directories seems to have eliminated the lag i experience, but the real test will be having them both in the capital city at the same time.

The little i had read before on dual boxing seemed such a hassle and not well explained, so i gave up quick. But this seemed quick and simple . . and it was. I really expected for this to not work without a lot of tweaking and editing and general headaches. I was pleasantly surprised and quite ecstatic!
