JOYSTIQ has tracked down a bloke who by most people's standards plays a wee bit too much of the fantasy game World of Warcraft,

Known by the moniker 'Prepared', the bloke plays through 36 World of Warcraft accounts on 11 different computers at the same time.

It seems that the bloke got obsessed with the fact that every time he tried to organise a decent raid the other players let him down by not obeying orders correctly. His idea was to create a team that actually did what it was told.

To manage this level of control it costs him $5711 in subscription costs per year with 36 accounts on the six month payment schedule.

He said that he looks at WoW as a hobby and there are more expensive hobbies out there. Yep yachting, space tourism and organising coups in third world countries would be more expensive we guess.

When the upcoming WoW expansion, Wrath of the Lich King hits the shops he will buy 36 copies of it. Which will add about $1,500 to the cost of his 'hobby'. µ

WoW is the devil it seems, why is it so addictive?

Pitbull, when can i come around to your house and play :p
 
Ok ok.. does that mean he bots all of them, sits back and whispers sweet nothings to himself 24 or 9 times? *picture it..*

"FFS HEAL MEEEEE HEALLL MEEE ... ok tank.... Sucker Foool .. Gruul you going down.. run everyone run... Mage dammit stop agggroing.."

Maybe he should just buy the action figures - kinda becomes the same thing .. just cheaper.
 
Define multibox for us noobs (and I really am one) Surely you can't play 25 toons at the same time from one console.

First, I would love if WoW came out on a console, but unfortauntely not.

He is running 11 Pc's and 36 accounts (so 36 copies of WoW on 11 Pc's)

He has an addon that allows him to send commands from one toon to another. So effectively he controls 36 units with a few mouseclicks/keyboard strokes.

Doing 5 at a time is tricky, he does 36

Google it ;)
 
This guys main reason for creating this 36 man team was to run Alterac Valley, not to raid.
