Definition of Multiboxin

[Patience]

I just have a quick question regarding multiboxing.

Is it multiboxing if I have another account for banking, and having it online at the same time? Or is this allowed? Will not break anything in the game, and this was definitely doable in vanilla retail. All it does is make life easier.

If the question has been asked before and answered, please link it to me!


Thanks,
Patience

Multiboxing is when you are running several clients which are then controlled by you, via replication software that sends keypresses/mousemovement to all the wow clients at once.

Having two clients up at the same time is not multiboxing. Using key-replication software to play on all at the same time is.

Thank you my friend!

That settles it then.

How about multi-boxing and bots ?

Multi-boxing and bots are forbidden on our server, as it can impact others players moods and the global economy.

So, keep a character on follow, while the other kills is fine?
No "replication" software involved.

If am not misstaken, as long as 1 keypress doesnt affekt more then 1 client, it isnt multiboxing?

I thought all methods of multi-boxing was banned regardless if you control both characters with software or just have two computers with one character on auto follow.

So I guess you won't be allowed to use multiple accounts at once, regardless of using software or not.

The quoted definition comes from Wikipédia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-boxing).
And Grungie is right, your are allowed to do that SanderP.

multiple separate characters simultaneously

When you use a first account to enchant a second account, there is no "simultaneous" action. It is not categorized as multiboxing, and it will be allowed on Nostalrius Begins.

Multi account: yes (except specific cases precised on the term of use, for example PvP abuses, ...).
Multiboxing: no

So ... leveling one char with the help of my main WITHOUT a program is allowed, or is it not?

From what I've read it works like this:

Alt-tab between multiple clients at the same time is allowed.
Using software to send key presses to more than one client is not allowed.

So yes you can have char(s) on follow if you intend to boost someone/yourself or for w/e reason you want to use more than one character at the same time, but that's it apparently.
