Multiboxing - Taking The Second M Out Of MMO

Friday, June 2nd, 2006

Durga durga, mahatma jihadRight now, there are only two unanswered questions in gaming.

Question One: “At some time in the past did Blue say to Mike Martinez, ‘I can never thank you enough,’ not realizing that it’s just an expression?”

Question Two: “Is it possible for one person to control forty World of Warcraft accounts at the same time?”

This is the story of Xzin, and his claim that he is going to attempt to answer Question Two.

Already known for his ability to wreck battlegrounds with his solo-controlled team of one priest and four mages, he’s looking to make a quantum leap forward in what’s called “multiboxing”.

The good news is that hardware, bandwidth, the $600 a month in subscription fees, and the introspection that makes the less intrepid man add “Should I do this?” to “Can I do this?” don’t seem to be an issue.

The bad news is that this pointless stunt completely lacks the upside of every other pointless stunt, which is to say that there is no chance hipster doofus David Blaine will be killed.
