Can you say hardcore? - Image 1 


Just how far can a hardcore gamer get? Buying every video game related merchandise he sees, hooking up the most expensive home theater system for his next-gen consoles, or simply giving up everything in life to spend more than 15 hours a day playing? A World of Warcraft player over the Dual-Boxing.com forums have a better answer: set up 47 computers, each with its own WoW account, then play them all at once with your girlfriend.

According to this hardcore person, he and his girl takes care of 23 characters each while another PC acts as server. Posted on the forums:

I started boxing in 2001 in EverQuest. At first it was dual boxing, then triple, then quad, then I 6 boxed for a long time. My girlfriend began boxing and I decided to "kick it up a notch" and we began doing our own raids. In 2005 we started playing [Blizzard's] WoW.

If you count the number of PCs, you'll get 47. My girlfriend controls 23 and I control 23. The other one is a server. All but 2 of those pcs are diskless. It got to the point that updating 46 pcs just took too long, the hard drives added to the electric bill and generated heat, so I found a good PXE solution that works great.

How the hell do you play 23 characters at once without a bot?

These people are gold-farmers, investigate Blizzard.
