Multiboxing in MMORPGs

Playing multiple characters at the same time.

What is Multiboxing?

Multiboxing is the practice of playing multiple characters at the same time in a Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG). This technique generally requires the use of multiple game accounts and can be achieved using different methods such as employing multiple computers, using specialized software, or even running multiple instances of the same game on a single computer.
