His setup looks very complicated and costs a lot of money to set up. I know there are people successfully multiboxing, PreparedWoW has adapted to Blizzard’s policy changes by moving from software broadcasting of keystrokes to multiple clients to hardware broadcasting instead. The addition of new agents into Joe Multiboxer will help develop the program further as time goes on. I normally use three clients at a time, but occasionally I’ll use four clients, and they fit very nicely on one screen. The program gives you the ability to launch multiple WoW clients simultaneously and apply a window layout depending on the number of clients used. Since the changes, I have used Joe Multiboxer, purely to post auctions on different characters/accounts at the same time. This decision and improvement meant Joe Multiboxer was within Blizzard’s new policy and terms of service. The program had some of the original benefits of IsBoxer, but without the ability to broadcast keystrokes.

Thankfully, the team at IsBoxer worked tirelessly to introduce a new program, which was released a couple of days before Shadowlands, called Joe Multiboxer (JMB). It appears the only people that took the brunt of the new policy changes were the players that abided by Blizzard’s ToS. Sadly, even to this day, botters are ever-present. By eliminating input broadcasting from third-party software/programs, it made it easier to highlight botters. Many felt that these changes were necessary for the game going forward due to the number of players botting. A month shy of World of Warcraft’s release of Shadowlands, Blizzard changed their policy on players using third-party software to input broadcast keystrokes between accounts, meaning IsBoxer was illegal to use within World of Warcraft. There have been some big developments on the multiboxing front due to Blizzard’s change in stance on multiboxing.
