Those doing multiboxing for actual professional purposes aren’t using keycloning software. Nor has Blizzard’s policy on multiboxing actually changed. Not contradicting anything.
And to tell you the truth, I don’t notice multiboxers now. I don’t expect any change in the future.
Are you sure about that? The policy change made it sounds like just the key mirroring software was banned. People have already found a way around it using macros, VM, and hardware tricks that are all legal.
Yes but this specifically pertains to “Truebox” servers as I mentioned. Those are especial servers where only 1 character is allowed. Its EQ version of saying Multiboxing, even alt tabbing is NOT allowed on this server.
multiboxing is not banned. I can log into my 20 accounts from 5 different computers and keyboards and still press 5 keystrokes at same time then alt tab and do again and so on… every client will have it own keyboard so you will still get destroyed.
the multiboxers this not the problem, the problem is a multiboxing tool or any tool wher you play with more character only with one button.
I already read well what Blizzard did, it seems to be correct, it is not bad to use a dual or multiboxing while you use the alt + tab and play with several characters at the same time in different windows, but it is bad if you use a tool, addons, scripts or bots that you use to play with several at the same time or send it to farm at the same time.
worse with the abuse in China, let’s not forget that this use happened a bit that in the end it is not because of the experience of the game that you ruin them for others and incidentally misuse the game just for your business.
yea all keypads, but they still have keyboards as well. my setup is wild but there is no software installed, its not as fluent but will still destroy lots of players
don’t know tbh. I play on a regular EQ server. But have heard that people are using software like isboxer in that game. Maybe a slimmed down, or diet coke version of it lol.
They brought the problem upon themselves. By swarming, and causing chaos everywhere they were at with those 10, and 20, or more toon teams. If they hadn’t got carried away with it, and started abusing the game, and players around them using the software, then these discussions would not be happening, and blizz would not of had to clamp down on it.
They only put a ban on software, hardware is still ok as mice/keyboard has built in game overlay I’m using hardware to mb so am safe been doing it since they announced it had my guild mass report me had a gm whisper me told him the exact mouse/keyboard I was using 5 mins later he gave me the ok. My 10 druids are still farming

because this game needs players not division to keep it going, trust me it’s not fun to have game you’ve played for years and years shut down from lack of players
