@ Darand and Helmer – I truly appreciate the advice; I must admit though, I am not particularly interested in doing much multiboxing (beyond a the traditional “run-through”) and as Indigo Haze said, I am not sure about how well those programs would play with Linux/Wine anyhow! But thanks for the info anyway!

For the folks recommending DualBoxing… keep in mind that Pike is on Linux. Most of the multi-box stuff I’ve seen has been Win32 and might not hold up under WINE…

I used RaF to get a second account, and am now duoing 2 hunters. It’s a blast, although I don’t use any programs for it. I switch between game screens and do it all manually. It really is easier if you have 2 computers (or at least 2 monitors).

I’m also leveling a priest by dragging her thru instances. I actually transferred my level 80 DK to the second account just for that reason. >.>

Hello Pike,

I’ve read your blog for some time now, but this is my first comment. Please go to dual-boxing.com – there are several really good articles that will help you get the most out of your RAF time. It is so easy to 2-box with some awesome free software. If you are only using one computer hotkeynet and jamba are FTW! I 3-box across three computers using just those two and Input Director (another free program that lets me use one mouse and keyboard arcoss the computers).

While I’m commenting, I’d like to thank you for all the informative and entertaining articles!

Elune be with you!

@clra2 – ER has a Shaman on the Horde side that’s a 6box setup (one main, 5 clones to copy results) and he does ok, until he gets near a Prot warrior on the ball. 6x Chain Lightning reflected back is quite painful when you’re THAT clustered… heh

@ Mithe, Albyll, Llyrra – Aww! You all make me feel warm and fuzzy inside. You commenters are too good for me! <3

@ clra2 – I’m not sure if I’d actually want to multibox, it was never really something that appealed to me. Although, I do like the idea of having a healbot following me around to provide buffs and get me out of any tight scrapes, but I think it’d be… much more focused on one of the two characters.

@ Kyle – Indeed, I was definitely doing that, I still couldn’t join the guild though. Told me I “didn’t have permission”.

To add another toon to the guild, you still have to be on at the same time even with raf

Please, ramble away Pike! You’ve got a unique voice in this game (and it’s nice knowing that I’m not a lone rambler)! I check AofH daily as well, and if too much time goes by without hearing from you… well, I start to worry about you….

omg! did the boss maker her stop playing?

did one of the critters she works with do her in?

has she lost all sanity playing two accounts?

and such and such.
