Morning,
I know programs like this are a nice luxury and something we want to protect, not abuse, nor draw unwanted attention to in the MMO community. My wife and I are returning EQ veterans who played extensively from 99-2005. After years of toying around with other games we've decided to come back to EQ (as nothing comes close). The nostalgic feelings alone are worth a million. We have no friends in game but plan to level up, find a guild and hopefully be back on top the server in one of the more prominent raid guilds.
That being said, we aren't 21 anymore. We are both Corporate America junkies with 9-5 jobs. No kids so our evenings are free. That being said, after hearing about TLP servers we came over to Lockjaw and created some characters (we have some 8-9 accounts from back in the day). I'm looking to these forums to help us be a little more self sufficient in our path to making 50 asap in prep for Kunark.
What I dont want to do is:
Farmed Named
Make Plat
Abuse Camps
Bot AFK while we are at work
We just want to roll up a few toons and automate the rest of the group instead of us both trying to control 2-3 computers. Not really interested in Mercs (might switch toons before hitting 50). That beind said, it sounds like we are in the right place. If I could ask for some clarification between:
IS Boxer
MQ2
KissAssist
My Understanding it that MQ2 is kind of the "base framework". It enables cooler maps, some easy macro commands and things that can be entered from the command line. If Im not mistaken though theres no full automation of characters here. No botting, just some extra help when playing?
KissAssist runs on top of MQ2? This is where we dive in to character ini files and other files to enable full blown character automation? Whether it be AFK botting or other toons in my group auto playing, this is where KA comes in?
Finally ISBoxer appears to be a legitimate app for helping you "actually play" multiple toons on a single PC. Not just from a UI perspective but it actually manages memory and windows well.
Do I udnerstand these components correctly? Did I leave anything out. Bottom line, I want to run my own group of toons between 2 people on 2-3 computers. It sounds like I may want all 3 of these? I assume of course they will all work together and play nice. I've looked at the MQ2 setup, and that seems very fast. KA seems more involved but still not rocket science.
Am I too optimistic in thinking all I need to do is download MQ2, then KA and update my .ini files than figure out how to use ISBoxer to manage EQ instances? Seems like it might only take an hour or so for a first timer. Thoughts?
Thanks
