A Question Regarding Multiboxing

Post by Petter600 » Wed Jan 15, 2025 11:14 am

Hi all,

The rules state that multiboxing is prohibited in Hardcore mode. However, the description only mentions the simultaneous control of multiple clients!
Multiboxing is the act of controlling multiple WoW clients simultaneously. This can entail having multiple clients open on a single machine or utilizing multiple machines to control the actions of both accounts at the same time for combat or moving.
What about the case where the clients are not being controlled simultaneously but are running on the same computer?
In theory, it should be allowed as long as both characters are not being controlled at the same time.

Has anyone had any experience with this topic?

If you have two clients open and logged in on the same machine, it's considered multiboxing.

But that's essentially the absurd part: If I install WoW on a second computer sitting right next to me, then it's supposed to be okay.


But thank you very much for the quick response.

I believe it you're controlling both by yourself, it's still considered multiboxing. It will most likely get reported. You can't run an HC character around with a pocket healer or any other sort of combo. It's meant to be done by one person at a time.

Virtual machine + VPN and run as many wow clients as you want
Good luck to any GM trying to accuse you of multiboxing

Thanks, I don't need tips like that, I just found/find the wording of the rules vague.

Where's your proof? You have their IP addresses? You're the only one on here admitting to it.

Another certified "trust me bro" answer from the forum's clown, posing again as an expert

If they use a VM + VPN, they gonna have different IP, different MAC, completely untraceable from any GM

How can any forum member provide proof or IP, when even GM's can't ???
