Paladin: Niftyr
Shaman: Niftur, Niftor, Niftir, Niftar
I made 1 Blood Elf Paladin and 4 Tauren Shaman. Dragged my little elf from his starting zone all the way to the Mulgore plains to begin his career with his macho guardians. Belive it or not that was the easiest part.
Multi-boxing is the art of controlling multiple characters simultaneously. Initially named after the need to use multiple computers to accomplish.
This can be done using different methods. Primarily a hardware method, and a software method. A hardware method is done using multiple PCs and controlling it by using splitters, multicasters, and switches. Basically you use one mouse and keyboard, but you can chose to multiply the signal to each PC, or using various switches send signals to specific PCs. This is a rather expensive option, but provides best results as each PC controls their own client with minimal slow downs.
The other option is software. A software which multiplies the signal it receives from the mouse or keyboard to specific applications. There are certain limitation to this method. The mouse cannot be used in all windows simultaneously. Although there are programs which let you pass in mouse clicks. It is very difficult, if not impossible to use mouse turn using these programs.
My Setup:
The method I use is entirely software. I use a single 19 inch monitor, with 1280 by 1024 resolution, on to which I fit 5 game clients. I use a key broadcasting software called Keyclone. Which has so far shown good results, however I have yet to try any others, so my opinion of it is still biased.
Welcome to my very first blog post. I am entirely new to this sort of environment, and I am not entirely sure as to the conventions and rules that might be involved with it. If I mess up, go easy on me.
In my life as a player I have read many blogs of various players that logged their adventures while multi-boxing. It allowed me to experience some aspects in greater detail combined with screenshots and videos along with author commentary. It was a great resource filled with information that I found interesting. Hence the reason why this blog is created. I can share the quirky things I come across, as well as keep a log for myself in case I ever want to look back upon my adventures.
