Namely what happens when you are not actively boxing.
1) Preparation
Many of MMO players are altoholics! If said MMO player is a multiboxer - this condition, naturally, gets multiplied by X (where X is the number of characters you run)! I have quickly discovered that it is very easy to lose track of many teams across many servers.
To solve this issue for myself I have made a spreadsheet holding some useful information.
Here's an example:
You can see the class info, level info, account info for various characters. I am going to add some simple stats of how long it takes to level each character etc. This helps keep thing organized.
2) Community
Very hard to overestimate the importance of community in multiboxing! Figuring things out when it comes to setup, group composition, encounter approaches is SO MUCH EASIER when there are other people sharing the same passion with you.
I currently participate in the following communities:
Dual-Boxing [http://www.dual-boxing.com/]
ISBoxer [http://isboxer.com/]
They all have a ton of great, helpful and generally fun people to talk to!
3) Day-dreaming
Got some time in transit coming to/from work - think about that awesome setup for group or this dungeon that you will try! Helps pass the time and most importantly set your mind up with a plan for the multiboxing session. This way you optimize your gaming experience and don't waste time.
It is very important to not lose yourself in the game. Spend time with family, friends, loved ones! So the less time you spend just jumping around major cities in game (not saying this is not fun!) - the more you can accomplish.
That's it for today ;)
More posts to come tomorrow!
