I'm sure it's been done for a long time now, but not like this. So check this out, there's this "one man raider" for the lack of a better term, named Prepared, who dual boxes 36 World of Warcraft accounts each of which contain multiple Horde characters some up to level 70.Â
He spends $5711 dollars in subscription fees per year, and makes a feeble attempt to justify his hobby. He plans on picking up 36 copies of Wrath of the Lich King the day it's released so he can control a group of 36 level 80 shamans in order to terrorize Alliance cities. That's his goal. What the ****.

What the ****, Prepared?
A lot have asked me, why create so many? The main reason is to invade Stormwind and Ironforge when they reach top level. I'm sure the Alliance will put up a big fight when that happens. We'll see how it goes. If they don't make level 70 before Wrath of the Lich King, then it will be at level 80. That is my main goal. That will probably happen after I've got some PvP gear from the battlegrounds. I'm also planning to do some 25 and 10 man raid instances but that is secondary to my PvP goal. Of course I'll be doing arenas too to build up PvP gear but I'm not expecting to do that great there because I'm way behind in gear right now. I need to get to level 70 first, then level 80 and by then I will probably have all green gear while most others have been doing the battlegrounds and arenas.
It costs me exactly $5711 in subscription costs per year with 36 accounts on the 6 month pay schedule. Not bad considering I'm looking at it like it's a hobby and there are more expensive hobbies out there than World of Warcraft.

32 of my shaman are level 61. One shaman that I had before I started the 32 is at level 70 along with 8 other level 70 classes that I had. My mage, priest and druid are in the center of the circle of shaman in the pictures but they are kind of hard to see. I've also got some mages and priests that I'm currently working on that are level 23. Once they are at level 31.9, I will stop working on them, get 16 of them to level 60 with the recruit-a-friend bonus levels and work on the shaman again.
When Wrath of the Lich King is released, I plan to be at the store when it opens and will purchase 36 copies of it. With tax, it should be about $1500 for all of them. Then the shaman are on their way to level 80 along with the priest, druid and mage.
By the way, I have 9 level 80 shaman created on the Murmur PvP realm in the Wrath of the Lich King beta. I mainly tried it out to see how well my computers would work as they are. With the exception of one my desktop computers, I should be fine with the hardware that I have.
I use 3 addons in the game. CT_MapMod is used to give me locations for quests, etc. ClassIcons is another addon that I use to show the class of the target. It helps for PvP encounters. Then the last addon I use is SSPVP2 which is excellent for displaying timers and other things while in the battlegrounds.
For my keys to send to all instances of WoW on my 11 computers, I use Octopus 1.3.2. Maximizer in Octopus allows me to start up all WoW instances at the same time or any individual instance such as if a WoW instance has crashed. It also allows me to shutdown all of the computers at the same time.Here is a picture of my computer set up:

Wonder when he'll make his way into Warhammer Online.

Good job ripping articles from my site without citing them.
You didn't even get the name of the person playing the accounts correct, the name is Prepared.

No, his account name is Prepared on Dual-Boxing, Bradster just posted the article. Unless your saying WTF to the author, which doesn't make any sense.

I'd be willing to bet anyone who could afford that is more successful in real life than the ****** who makes fun of him from behind a computer.

It doesn't matter if he inherited the money from a deceased family member or sold a batch of Intel stocks. It's still scary as hell and there are better hobbies than micromanaging 36 computers.Â

hobbies are peoples opinion, so him 36 boxing is his hobby and a least expensive one than most other hobbies out there.

It isn't that impressive for any working class man to afford his hobby and setup if they don't really have a social life or significant other. The average software programmer could afford this easily.
