I used to watch a guy who would multibox 80 accounts at once and always wanted to know how he did that. Unfortunately, multiboxing was made illegal and all the communities surrounding it dispersed.
At the absolute minimum level? I reckon probably 5-10. Depends on the content you’re doing I guess.
This is not true. Multiboxing by itself is fine to do. However, using any software that will mimic pressing keys across the multiple accounts is a definite no-no now. All of the individual accounts must be controlled by inputs from the player themselves.
Also, was it Prepared you’re talking about?

I think it was. Either Prepared or Furyswipes.
Prepared got rekt by someone from his own faction, by using the Lightning wand thing from Ashran, QQ’d a lot, etc. It was funny.
I have a pretty beast desktop that my husband bought for me. It can run at least 4 out of my six accounts, with the caveat that I just multibox in major cities or do questing stuff. I haven’t tried with all of my accounts, but I am very confident it would be able to handle six accounts up and running.
I have not yet multiboxed anything in DF, but I doubt it would be a problem with my system.
Why not try making several trial accounts, and just run lowbies through a few quests, and see how your system handles things?
I have 10 accounts running now and I want to run more but before I invest in more accounts, I wanted to know if anyone out there’s able to run 30 or more on a single pc. I could probably boot up my old pcs and run more on those, but that’s a lot of power consumption. All the vids I find of the big multiboxers are always using more than one machine but their vids are also a decade old.

As others have said, mboxing is not ‘illegal’. Its just against Blizzard’s rules to play them using third party software to automatically mirror keystrokes to multiple game clients.
You could play multiple accounts which you operate manually without breaking any rules. How successful that would be above a certain number I am uncertain of.
If it was me, I’d honestly just test with a bunch of trial accounts.
I haven’t heard of any mega multiboxers in a very long time, on par with what you’re talking about. But I also don’t seek them out, so… eh lol.
What GPU and what settings? NVIDIA 3060 with low settings and 8fps background cap and 30fps foreground cap could probably handle about 5. Assuming mid-range other stuff. 3080, you could probably get away with 10. Test your computer with userbenchmark to see if it’s good for gaming or not, if it’s like 70% or above on the gaming score, you can probably handle 10 instances of WoW on low settings.
64 gb ram and a RX 6700 XT MECH 2X 12G OC. I don’t know how it compares to a 3060.
Is the ram ddr3/4/5?
ddr4, I think. 3600 MHz.
define mid range
I’ve been told that my specs are midrange but 64 gb of ram used to be overkill.
I see ram and GPU, what CPU are you running?
That’s my Achilles heel. I use a 5600x Ryzen.
On min settings, you can probably get ~5 open at once, more and you’ll start to run out of vram, which will kill performance.
Is that because of how old the cpu is? Would upgrading it give me more vram?
vram is GPU
Before I upgraded my computer (mid SL), I was taking a massive performance hit because I only had 2 gigs of vram on my GPU, which meant it was having to use main memory as vram, which is slower.
So it will work, but good luck pushing the clients over 30 FPS
It looks like I have 12 gb of vram with my 6700 XT. Other than fps, are there other settings that can be changed to reduce the resources needed to run the game? Any cvar settings I can turn off?
