New 3-boxer here, my expierence so far

[-silencer-]

Hi all,

I started experimenting for a while with my girlfriends and my own account in leveling together using various software setups basicly by using 2 computers with a shared imput device (KVM).

Please tell me you're going to not use her account for multiboxing. People are getting banned for "account sharing" if you're caught multiboxing with different names on accounts. You can count on many people /reporting you for 'hacking/botting,' and when a GM looks into it, you better have all accounts in your name.

So far I encountered 2 problems:

- Looting questitems / using gameworld items / interacting with npc's. In general, everything that involves mouse imput. This is one of the standard issues I read on these boards so far.

- The second one concerns my screenlayout. I have 1 big (main) window on the left side and 2 small windows up on the right side of my screen. I want to use [a low resolution / less video detail / diffrent interface and addons] on the smaller screens. I was brainstorming this morning and thought: Would it work if I made a seperate WOW folder with other settings? And if so, would keyclone still work for instances of wow started from diffrent folders?

1. Yes, a lot of mouse input is required, but looking at the WoW UI API, there are a few commands available in NPC interaction - Getting quests, turning in quests, accepting quest rewards, and possibly repairing armor.. so you *should* be able to write macros to handle all your alts in doing most NPC work.
2. Many swear by KeyClone and it does have the feature to set up WoW windows like you describe. I use the Maximizer program to do the job though - it's apparantly more difficult to set up than using KeyClone, but I found it first and works for me. Yes, you can use a copy of the entire WoW folder for other accounts to have different visual settings - that's what I do. I use 5 copies, but I'm considering trimming it down to just 2.
