Multiboxing and reselling.

[Smitten]

Your main account would have mac address of 11.22 and IP 22.11

Your Multiboxers will have mac address of 44.55 if they are all within the same virtual machine. Depending on the Proxy solution you use, they will either share the same IP (if you use a VPN), or they will each have a different IP (if you use commercial mmo latency reduction software - smoothping, lowerping, wtfast, etc - since only one account and therefore IP per WoW open.)

If you want each to have its own mac address, they'll all need separate virtual machines.

Do you think it would be worth it to make virtual machines for each copy of wow.
Or would that be to intense.

[Smitten]

If your computer can handle it, that'd be the best way to handle it.

Even if you have two copies on 5 VMs, that'd be better. The more spread out, the better.

However, if you are RAFing, there's no point spreading them out across multiple machines since they're already linked in Blizzards logs anyway. If no RAF, spread them out.

[impulse1992]

Yup you just saved me unnecesary work im raffing.


Though i wonder since there linked would it be worth it to go through the effort of assigning the 10 diffrent ips.

I know atleast when i lvl them up 5x2 both groups will atleast have each one VM and 1 ip.

[Smitten]

5x2 groups would be best in two VMs / two IPs then.

Blizzard really only catches onto account selling when:

a) people are stupid enough to post proper armory links in selling threads.
b) multiple people call Blizzard / ticket Blizzard with Photo ID scans wanting account back. Three different people claiming they are the owner of an account obviously isn't good.

Hence if you level the accounts privately, sell them with masked armories or no armory at all, make the buyer wait a few days before logging on and ask them to only purchase game with with the 60 day cards you get in the shops, it'll basically be safe.

The reason to use 60 day cards from the shops is so it doesn't have your name on the account (ie John Smith), and then another persons name buying game time with credit card in their name (Joe Brown).

Yea. seems legit .

Well thank you so much man.
Youve cleared up aloooot of questions i had.I really appreciate all your help.

[Smitten]

No problem.

Best of luck with it!

Here's a tip. Don't level 10 hunters during AV weekend at lvl 85+ and expect not to get reported for wiping a raid group at Galv/Bal. It might be alot of fun but do you really want to risk it at that point?

[impulse1992]

Yea james i dont do that theres no point, and sincerely i wouldnt even bother leveling 10x of the same class.

Anyway Raided, does this mean i need a torrented Windows? For each VM.

My windows 7 would not work ??

[Smitten]

Installing an Operating system in each VM is like installing it on a new computer so it needs to be registered/licenced as normal with Microsoft. Your Windows 7 would work if it's multi-licence. If you have spare windows XP or Vista CDs laying around like I do, you can use those.

If not, you're going to have to figure something out, since warez isn't allowed on this forum.

[rafowner]

im going to be doing something similar to this
