MultiBoxing

Over the past two days, first Feifer and then Skrah ran into some multi-boxers. Of course, we had no idea what we were looking at or that there was such a thing as multi-boxing, but after some online research and a chat with a very robot-like GM, we got it all figured out.

This vid tutorial pretty much says it all, covering how to multi-box very thoroughly. Very thoroughly.

And here's a screenshot of the multiboxer Skrah saw out there doing it. It's a rough image, but you get the picture. I had a short convo w/ him, and he said that this was his first time "doing hunters." Ohhhhkay.



Commentary: Okay, at first I thought multi-boxing was either a scam or cheap, but having seen a few tutorials, I kinda think it's awesome. The cloning aspect (it seems multi-boxers prefer look-alikes to throw off enemies in PVP) is very weird, and in that one player can be five is a variation in the game. A variation? I simply love any little variation in a world that can be so predictable. Now I want a multi-boxer in our guild!
