When I played Everquest 1 I multi boxed for several years. I played Ranger class in a top tiered raiding guild. I decided to level up a second box as a Druid (heal type class). Playing a second box was challenging and brought something new to a game I had been playing for five years.

By having two characters I was able to "solo" several minor quests. Additionally when guild members needed to get something done much of the time I could just log my box and help push them through whatever they needed (quests or keying for raiding zones).

If our raid ended up short on players for some reason I could log the box and help out heals.

There are tons of benefits in having a second box to play. That said the way TOR works with no auto attack playing a second box becomes much less appealing to me. It could work if you played both tank and healer but even then you would need to make sure anyone you grouped with was careful not to pull aggro.

I would think that if I throw enough money and power at something, it should just work the way I want it to.

I agree. The thread is more about showing off the OP's ability to pay too much money for computers than asking about multiboxing.

i looked at the memory usage today on my laptop for SWTOR and it came to almost 2 gig of memory used. check you specs. sometimes games require a change in settings to run two clients at the same time. you may have to install the second copy to a separate directory to make sure no problems. I will get my second, and use my other desktop for the second account and friends.

I really think the OP is trolling, lying, or his parents paid for everything. How can you have such terrible grammar and be even remotely capable of building a decent rig. Not to mention his "gaming" laptop. Anyone with a brain knows that there is no such thing.

God people are *********** stupid, really. Multiboxing is a common theme across the gamut of MMOs. Everyone just likes to respond in the most negative, condescending way they can find.


There is no reason not to allow multiple instances of the game client to run, unless they specifically want to stamp out multiboxing. That would be perfectly fine if it is their stance, but let Bioware tell him that and get of your soapboxes.

honestly this isnt a high prioity and i thought i saw a post before release that multi-boxing wasnt supported in TOR.

either way its not really a high priority and to be honest i think they shoudnt allow it as it could be used for credit farmers or some sort.
