It's so crazy I just had to make a topic about this.

Check it out: WoW in 36 boxes.

And a Wiki on how to make such a multi-boxed set-up: Multiboxing Wiki.

I wonder how people can still effectively play like that...that's like multitasking². Shocked
Not cheap either, according to the Wiki it costs about $4280 for that particular set-up!


PS: I'm not making this topic to make fun of people who do this nor WoW in general. I just think it's so cool/interesting it's worth posting. Smiley

Yeah, it costs him quite a fortune aswell:

Quote from: Prepared
It costs me exactly $5711 in subscription costs per year with 36 accounts on the 6 month pay schedule. Not bad considering I'm looking at it like it's a hobby and there are more expensive hobbies out there than World of Warcraft.

and

Quote from: Prepared
When Wrath of the Lich King is released, I plan to be at the store when it opens and will purchase 36 copies of it. With tax, it should be about $1500 for all of them. Then the shaman are on their way to level 80 along with the priest, druid and mage.

Blizzard's most loyal customer.

Besides the costs of actually buying all the stuff needed to do that, I wonder what his electricity bill must be.

Or a nice fat inheritance. Which could also explain how he has the time to do it.

That's really depressing...

Well, everyone has a right to do what he/she wants.

Only thing I find hard to understand how you can limit yourself to the same game for so long and not get bored. Or not get bored from leveling up 36 different characters.

It would be a hassle, although he can probably just pull an entire zone and chain lightening everything dead in moments...Still, does not seem fun, just a sort of I BOX MORE THAN ANYONE type deal.

This is pretty nifty. It would be nice to have these type of controls for all MMO's.

I guess instead of going through the effort of finding a good guild he decided it would be easier to be a guild by himself.

Sell all 36 of them and recoup 1/10 of the loss.
