WoW Gamer Has 36 Accounts, Raids by Himself...

Recommended Posts

In what is perhaps the most shining example of obsession and geekiness I have ever seen, a fella by the name of Bradster has 36 World of WarCraft accounts that he plays on 11 computers simultaneously. He mainly seems to be doing it because he doesnt like to rely on so many other people to get a raid going, which includes attacking the Alliance capital cities, and on that front I can totally see where hes coming from.

 

 

 

I hate those Alliance douchebags too, but Im not about to drop $5711 per year like Bradster is. The best way to get to them is to just live well, right? Well, Bradster doesnt appear to be letting the Alliance off the hook so easily, as he plans on picking up 36 copies of Wrath of the Lich King on day one, spending around $1500, just so he can have a raid group of level 80 Shamans terrorizing Stormwind as soon as possible.

 

 

 

Read on to see how this crazy man manages to control all of these characters.

 

 

 

From the Bradster himself:

 

 

 

A lot have asked me, why create so many? The main reason is to invade Stormwind and Ironforge when they reach top level. Im sure the Alliance will put up a big fight when that happens. Well see how it goes. If they dont 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 Ive got some PvP gear from the battlegrounds. Im also planning to do some 25 and 10 man raid instances but that is secondary to my PvP goal. Of course Ill be doing arenas too to build up PvP gear but Im not expecting to do that great there because Im 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 Im looking at it like its 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. Ive also got some mages and priests that Im 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:

I guess he missed out on the part where WoW is an MMO.

 

 

 

I just loves how he has everything planned out. Get better armor. Know where to attack. Even to the point of knowing he needs 36 boxes of Lich King. Having the $1.5k for it. Knows he needs to level 80 ASAP. Even knowing he needs to upgrade one of his PC.

 

 

 

Is anybody else jealous of his PCs though?

I can't decide if this is "epic win" or a turrible, turrible failure.

I'm not jealous of his PC's as you don't need a top of the line rig to play WoW but certainly jealous about how many he has.

I don't know what to make of this :| I'm more concerned on how he got all the money. His set-up looks ridiculously expensive!

My relaxation method involves a bottle of lotion, beautiful women, and partial nudity. Yes I get massages.

Turbley epic, I'm 'fraid.

 

 

 

It's awesome and all, but...That doesn't sound like a hobby.

 

 

 

Seriously, what hobbies are more expensive? Hunting bald eagles with narwhal fins?

 

 

 

(Man, I'm having a good night for quotes. Feel free to, you know, worship me for them.)

catch it now so you can like it before it went so mainstream

Any idea how old he is?

 

To be able to operate 36 guys on 11 computers at the same time takes a lot of skill...Props to him for that.

 

He reminds me of the fat dude from Make Love, Not Warcraft...For this guy's sake, I hope he has some life (Though probability says no). It's fine if he likes WoW and all that, but if this is all he does 24/7...Ow. At least he's having fun with life.

Lol, I saw that yesterday on kotaku, I must say that I was a little weirded out.

 

 

 

There's actually a whole community centered around playing multiple WoW characters at once: http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index ... ccf5ff0255

 

 

 

The practice is called dual-boxing (done with two chars), 5-boxing 10-boxing etc. depending on how many chars you use. The hobby gets a bad rep because gold farmers often box on WoW for IRL cash.
