Dual-Boxing World of Warcraft with Octopus
Filed in PC Games on Feb.04, 2009
Octopus is a program that allows you to run, view and control multiple applications simultaneously over a network or on a single computer. Though Octopus can be used for nearly any application and configured many ways, this article will focus on running two instances of a game, in this case World of Warcraft, on a single computer.
Getting Started
The following steps assume that you already have an installed copy of Octopus (version 1.3.2 is used for this demonstration) and World of Warcraft. You will also need two active World of Warcraft accounts, and while it is entirely legal to own and play multiple WoW accounts, it is not legal to buy, sell, trade or even use another account other then your own.
NOTE: Vista users may need to launch this as administrator if there appears to be problems with Octopus not saving configuration settings properly.
