Multiboxing, How I do it

[TheJoe]

So, some of you have seen me running around with 4 and 5 avatars logged in. Namely my 1 Shaman and 3 Hunter team. (I chose this combo to learn how to control pets and how a shaman works)

I did a quick couple of videos on how my setup is and a quick run through the stockades:

The system with the big monitor is an unmodified HP Slimline s3330f (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01316418&lc=en&cc=us&lang=en&dlc=en&product=3648244) nothing fancy. It's driving a Samsung 2693HM 25.5 inch monitor at 1920x1200.

The Keyclone software is splitting the screen into 4 800x600 regions.

I am also using Synergy to share my keyboard from the Mac to the other two PC's.

Some of you that were around in my early EQ days (circa 1999), I have been fond of and using the X-Keys keypad. I have a generic setup on it. The top 3 rows are 1 to 0 and - =. I use the in-game macro system to map keys to specific commands I want the characters to do.

As for addons, I mainly use the Twobox Toolkit, Questhelper, Feed-o-matic, and bongos.

That's about it.

It's a pain in the butt running 4 toons, but I have fun with it. :)

Sweet stuff.

Damn, I'm having trouble two-boxing my Mage and Shaman in EQ1, and youre running 5 toons at once .... *needs to practice harder*

That's pretty amazing, love the x-keys keypad, need to get one of those, will come in really handy for graphics stuff too :)

None of this should violate the EULA either, the closest thing to violating it would be the Keyclone program, but as long as you're not modifying the data sent between client and server I don't think you'd ever come close to violating the EULA. You're paying for the accounts, and this is your playing style, they can get used to it ;-)
