The art of playing multiple accounts at the same time. For example - a cleric and a warrior - both controlled by you. Heals that land when you need them. Double the power but double the demands on your already stretched attention. This is a community of people who control two, three, four, five, even ten or more characters at the same time. The below setup is about as extreme as you can get and is not representative of the average dual boxer. Despite that, I respect their accomplishment very much - much more goes into this than what most people initially think.
For those of you who are interested in 5 Boxing, I have written an extensive writeup on my methods. I think some of you will appreciate the elegant intricacies that go into a real PvP focused mutiboxing setup.

Welcome Diggers / WoW Insiders / Gizmodo / Kotaku / FoHers / Engadget and others!
Well - judging from the comments from some Diggers... not sure I want to welcome all of you. We are here doing what we enjoy doing. I can't speak for everybody but I own successful companies that are successful because of what they do and how they help other people. In my spare time, I personally play 10 accounts. I see absolutely nothing wrong with that and is about as "normal" as you can get in a world where normal ebbs and flows enough as it is.
I put perhaps 40 days played into the Zins, my previous 5 boxing setup. In 2 years of the game being live. I have written extensively before about who I am and why I enjoy what I do. I am a bit disappointed at the "Southpark/Overweight/etc" comments and I hope that is a result of shortsightedness, misunderstanding or simple jealousy rather than genuine beliefs. I encourage you all to face each day with an open mind - and not one filled with stereotypes or preconceived notions. In 20 years, when your children are learning about the world in a virtual one - I hope some of you remember that not everybody who uses computers to communicate or for enjoyment is a social leper who deserves nothing else but to be beaten up. The geeks shall inherit the earth.
