Yes, there are forums available for it with a lot of information.
Since you post from google groups, do a search for some posts made by
myself and others with the keyword "dualboxing" or "multiboxing".

Forums here:

Double boxing means running two copies of WoW, either on the same computer
if it's fast enough, or on two computers.

The hard part is how to easily control the second character. There are
lots of solutions available. Have a look at wowwiki.com/Dual_box .

Thanks a lot!
I think i will use a little program found in wowwiki pages, but i fear
about botting ban...
the program i found work like this:
- Once i set the Main char, i can control the alter (with macro) from
the main
- Ev'ry wisper for my alter, is switched via wisper to mi main
- Ev'ry trade for my alter warns me on my main account
- I can command my alter to:
- Stay
- Follow
- Attack (dunno if only a /attack command or a complete control on
my alter actions)
Somebody knows if this program can be tagged like "botting"?

Blizz have stated on many occassions that multiboxing is entirely legal and
within the eula. (ofc this means you pay them for every account you have and
they love you for it!)

No, that doesn't follow.

Blizzard doesn't care if you have multiple accounts. That
doesn't mean you can use any/all tools to help automate
using the multiple accounts.

As an example, a tool which allowed you to send a whisper
to the second character and have the second character
automatically heal you would probably get you banned.

Can you list what tools you were using and some more info?

I always wondered how if you mage was following. you told him to stop,
attack etc from range and never engage.

where do you read examples of keybinds and how to set them up?
