Dual Boxing Programs L22

Hey guys! Sorry for intruding into the UI/Macro Forums from the CSF, but have a question.
I just RaF'ed myself(can't pass up the flying kitty), and now I have an issue. I want to try dual boxing, but am unsure what program to use. I want free, decent, and won't get me banned. :-)

Unfortunately there's not a lot if any information on here about multiboxing, best place to look would probably be google.

Yeah tried that. Just looking to see what current Dual and Multi boxers are using. I've heard of Octopus, but didn't want to commit to anything until I've heard of others who used it, and got semi-thumbs up that it won't hit me.

Yeah used to be a guide on here, but it was removed for essentially being an advertisement for a paid program.

Yeah, I've noticed a lot are paid programs. >.< That's what's making it hard for me. heheh.

You should probably start here:
http://www.dual-boxing.com/threads/36955-Newb-s-Guide-to-Multiboxing-Start-here-if-you-are-brand-new-to-Multiboxing

I recommend that you try ISBoxer or Keyclone, both should have trials you can test out. If you're looking for a free option you could also try Hotkeynet.
A quick google search will help you find the website for either of them.

won't get me banned. :-)

That part is less dependent on the specific software you use and more dependent on how you use it. The features that allow multicasting software to work are intrinsically capable of violating Blizzard's automation clauses. It is your responsibility to know those clauses and not use the software in ways that violate those clauses. However, most of the informational sites about multi-boxing will tell you what not to do. The important guidelines are:
If you issue one keypress/mouseclick, each game client receives no more than one keypress/mouseclick.
Modifying a keypress (setting up a button to issue a shift+f1 event on a single keypress, for example) is acceptable; but sending sequential kepresses/clicks is not. The distinction has to do with what specifically constitutes single/multiple hardware events (modifier keys are not considered discrete hardware events in this context).
You are also not allowed to set your software up to issue any hardware events without you issuing an actual hardware event (you cannot set it to press a button every 5 minutes to keep you from logging out, for example), whether or not you are triggering a protected function with that event. This is because requiring a hardware event is oen of Blizzard's methods for preventing automation of certain functions (spellcasting, targeting, movement, posting auctions, etc...).
If you cannot automate it with an addon or macro; do not use your multiboxing software to automate it and you will be fine.

Sumcallmetim should get a metal for that post.

I wonder how people find threads like this and make this the only post in their posting history...

There is a inverse correlation between posting comments and necro-ing old threads.
But, while I'm here I might as well give my two cents. I leveled almost 25 characters to 80 using RaF on a macbook air without any dual boxing software installed at all. I just created two shortcuts, one to the wow.exe file and another to the launcher. I would run both programs and command+tab (alt+tab for windows) between the two. I even got so good at doing this that I could heal an entire dungeon group (getting compliments several times on how good my healing was) and also out dps 1 or 2 of the people in my group at the same time.
It doesn't take any fancy software to dual box and I would recommend anyone try it because it cuts leveling time by an insane amount. It took me less than one month to get an entire realm full of 80's by following the pattern of leveling a pair of 80's and then leveling another set to 41 to grant the remaining 39 levels. My average leveling time to 80 was 24 hours of /played time and it took me around 8 hours to get to level 41.
The best part of this? Wotlk is essentially free if you buy the battle chest (which is marked down to $10 now) and I bought it during the Christmas special, so the grand total I paid for all these level 80's was $5.
Just my two cents...

Thank you for all of the helpful tips and hints on dual boxing. All y'alls advise really helped me.
I recently did the RAF option and I'm currently just dual Boxing using the helium addon and macros which remarkably work well. I have already finished leveling a disc priest and tank druid to level 69 as heals and tank while running dungeons. I read a post some where how some one did tank and heals while dungeon running and it intrigued me, so i thought I'd try it. It is very fun and I leveled the 2 toons to 69 in roughly 3 days of casual game time play. I have noticed though since I've started a different combo that the monk class is superb for tanking while dual boxing, however druid heals in combination is more challenging than when I was using my disc priest. Not sure if any of y'all run macro dual box tank heals.
FYI if your running macro's and dual boxing heals and tank, you'll probably cap out near lvl 69 as the Northrend dungeons require more independent actions that make it more difficult to run both heals and tank. Let me know if yall have any other advise as to good boxing methods.

Hey, i was just wondering what the helium addon is and how to use it for dual boxing
