I thought it would be interesting to see how many characters you are all boxing at the same time. I started with 3 but ended up with 9. The main reason I play EQ nowadays is because of the possibility to play more than one character at the same time.

I normally box 6, but I got a new computer recently so I have started working on 6 more characters !

12 is surely my maximum otherwise I'd probably go crazy

Up to 4 when I'm at my girlfriend's (and then she plays 2 on the laptop), max 2 when I'm home because my desktop decided to die completely and this laptop isn't really anything special.

4-6, but definitely as many as possible if I'm working on content that's at my limit.

T5 7 -12 depending on what I am aiming for that day. If it's Corals the casters stay home. Mostly Pal, Pal, SK, Mnk, War and Cleric.. dragging Sham and Bard.

T3/4 I use 14 and I guess you could say 15 since I park the Druid to do nothing but turn in Tokens.

T1/2 I use 3. Pal, Mnk and Zerk.

Tacvi I use 4. Pal, Mnk, War and Zerk

QVIC I use 3. Pal, War, Zerk

I've only boxed in legit EQ (quad box mnk,bard,zerk,sham) on a single monitor/keyboard/mouse. What kind of setups do you guys use? Multiple monitors/keyboards/mice/etc? I'm seein that you need to box to get anywhere here.

My computer can probably handle at least 6 (2600k, 560ti SLI, 16gb ram and supporting hardware).

I use WinEQ with a less than adequate computer setup (really bad hardware on a single computer) and it works just fine.

With that setup and wineq 2 with a stripped down client you could easily play 12+.

I run 10 characters but that sets my memory at 7.7 GB of usage. Popping another window will lag things down considerably. While my mem usage is high, the CPU quad core is only at 65% load on the cores, so I imagine upgrading my memory slots will enable for more windows.

I run five boxes as adding the sixth pushes me over some invisible ram barrier and causes a world of pain... 3.25g ram - - don't ask.

Sarthin, let me ask a few basic things:
A) Which client?
B) If SoD/UF, have you turned "Background FPS" to 'Min CPU'?
C) Do you have all/most of the Luclin models turned on?
D) Do you have spell/environmental effects turned on?
E) Are you using WinEQ2 in addition to SoD/UF?

Reply honestly as it will better assist in getting you boxing like a pro.
