Thanks

I also started multiboxing again and if i find anything new, i can add them.

For example:
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieTPtV4HLGA]YouTube - Multiboxing looting - How to[/ame]

In your keybindings page in World of Warcraft you have a little bit down in the list:
Interact with Target.

What this is is either talking with a friendly/neutral/talkable NPC in World of Warcraft, or looting mobs. I find this really handy for quests because i used to go to every World of Warcraft region, and then open the quest by clicking on the NPC with all my toons.

This way i can just hit my focus assistance key, (like frostbolt with /assist focus in it) and they all have the questgiver targetted. Then i hit my Interact with Target key, mine is ; next to L. And they all have the questwindow opened on the same time. This saves a lot of time.

Also you can use this is your doing a collection/a quest like: get blabla's head/whatever. You can just hit a key with /assist focus in it so they all have the dead MOB targeted, you hit your interact with target key and they all loot it. Notice that you have to spam the key a bit for them all to pickup, because when they all open the loot screen they will get: This item is already being looted or something. But when you press the interact key again, one of your toons will loot it. Press it again after toon 1 toon 2 will loot it, and so on and so forth.

I hope this was a useful update

Kind regards,

Steven

Biggest question: Is the Keyclone program legal? I don't want to be banned over it.

[Chronic1337]

It is legal:
Multiboxing is generally allowed by MMORPG End User License Agreements, because the characters are still subject to all the normal rules of the gameworld and are controlled by the player directly. However, when combined with bots that partially or fully control the characters, it would be against the terms of service of most online games. [3]

Most MMORPGs only allow a single character per account to be logged in at once, so multi-boxers need a separate account for each character they want to play simultaneously. In subscription based services, this means paying multiple monthly fees, and buying several copies of game expansions.

Most game developers allow multiboxing in their games. To date, World of Warcraft, Warhammer Online, Runescape, Age of Conan, Anarchy Online, Dungeons and Dragons Online, Lord of the Rings Online, Vanguard, EverQuest, EverQuest II, Lineage, Lineage II, City of Heroes, City of Villains and Ultima Online all allow multiboxing. Aion will allow multiboxing upon release. The Chronicles of Spellborn allows hardware multiboxing, but prohibits software multiboxing. EVE Online allows the use of multiple accounts to be played together on one or more machines, but does not allow the use of programs to communicate between instances of the game. No company provides technical support for multiboxing, so while it may be allowed, you may find certain games are not designed to be multiboxed.

Multi-boxing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Basically what's told is:
You can use multiboxing software, unless you use bots for automation. But if your characters do nothing UNLESS you press a key, its okay. But if anything goes automated, your banned.
Also you can get banned if the 2 or more accounts that you play don't have the same contact information.
For example your accounts are:
Bob Apples
Bob Apples
Bob Apples
Bob Apples
John Rake

You will get banned. However if you use your brother's/sister's account you can also say that he/she just has follow on you for RAF or whatever, thats probably okay. But i wouldn't risk it.

Kind regards,

I'm rather new to multiboxing, and well I'm trying to figure out how to make it simple with macros and so on.

At the moment I have Do-not-pass set on:
Leftarrow
rightarrow
uparrow
downarrow
A, S, D, W, Q, E, and NumLock.

And to make it as simple as possible with macros I've made one macro that enables every time I click the left mouse button and my left-side button.

Settings > Mouse-map:
Left button Is bound to the key: + (ADD)
Left side button Is bound to the key: * (MULTIPLY)

These two keys are in turn, set out on the action bars on my two following characters and are in turn bound to different macros.

The ADD ( + ) key is bound to a macro looking like this:

/Target [target=focus]
/follow
/Cleartarget
/Assist [target=focus]

This macro makes the characters follow the target on their focus (in this case, my main character) and whenever I target something with the mouse on my main one, the other characters will target the same target.


The MULTIPLY ( * ) key is bound to a very similiar macro on the two following accounts.
It looks like this:

/Target [target=focus]
/follow
/cleartarget

This one is simply made so that whenever I start autorunning on my main, the other two will automatically follow. This one isnt really necessary, it's just an extra follow macro just to be safe.


Do you have any tips on how to make it simpler or better, Chronic1337?
I have one small problem with setting it up like this, and that problem is that whenever I target something I have to click it twice, in order for the two following characters to target it. Don't exactly know why this is.
Might be because they go off exactly at the same time I guess, so it's acting a bit too fast. Any way to fix this?

[Chronic1337]

Hmm,

If your 3 boxing maybe you have the key for that spell on round robin?

And my macro's are combined like this:
#showtooltip (dont put name of spell here, it automatically sets it when your done making your macro)
/assist focus
/cast NameOfYourSpell

5 Macros used by Shift 1 to 5:
pick any icon you'd like.
Name it F1 (for your first toon)
/target your mains name
/focus

My totem macro:
#showtooltip
/castsequence reset=11 Air, Fire, Water, Earth

Thats how my castsequence looks like.
If you have a spell -> spell castsequence its like this:
#showtooltip
/assist focus
/castsequence reset=8 Immolate, Corruption, Curse of Agony

I walk with Q W and E on my main
A and D turn (not strafe) ALL my toons to left or right. (needed in pvp/arena/anything you can think of that turns around you).

My follow key is F,
My earthshock/windshock key is 4 thisone is on roundrobin

Thats pretty much it,
If you want more questions answered just ask
