so ZK is on the way out, or so it seems. Here is my idea for a last ditch "save". Allow Multiboxing for PVE, not for PVP. So many people have theories on how Multiboxing ruins everything - we can put it to the test, and possibly attract people to make accounts on ZK since it would be the only realm to allow PVE multiboxing. Inb4 "Die Cheater!" Why Multibox? Here is how I got into it and why I think it adds an entire new dimension to WoW. I joined Feenix's blizz-like Emerald Dream (RIP) that allowed PVE Multiboxing - I had 2 hours a nite to play, and I spent a week wasting my time trying to run Dead Mines with PUGS that would fall apart half way through, hence wasting my time and precious play time. Rather than rage-quit I gave multiboxing a try (aka, I had no 60's) 1. I died a lot. Try running Dead Mines with 5 lev16's who are on auto-follow, have the most horrible response time, and how the fights go are about only as good as the macro's you sat there and tried to figure out. There was a lot of tweaking macro's, playing with positioning, playing with different classes, etc. Even though I easily died over and over, it didn't feel like I was wasting my time like on PUGS that fall apart after the first wipe. 2. It got worse as the Instance levels got higher - I spent weeks figuring how to beat a few bosses that did AOE silences/stuns. Needless to say I got really freaking good with macro's, because the situation forced me to get good and think outside the box at solutions. I really didn't need to develop crazy macro's until I was in a NAXX raiding guild on a different realm. The problem solving challenges one faces while multiboxing are massive and multifaceted, but once you figure it out the rewards are great. 3. I still quested and ran instances with guildies - of course I made sure all my toons all stayed close to each others levels. I probably spent close to a year multiboxing and still didn't hit 60 on any tooms - I was high 50's on all my toons when Feenix killed ED. I didn't log many hours, but it was all split amongst 6 toons, and countless hours of wiping in instances kept me low. Basically I had a really fun time learning to multibox and I wish people knew more about the challenges it offers, people are quick to just yell it down because of whatever reasoning they have. Anyway, just my idea I had for ZK - obviously, for technical reasons, it probably isn't a good fit for high pop servers.
