Gamer plays 36 World of Warcraft characters at once

Do you think video games like World of Warcraft are too complex? Try playing with 36 characters at once!

Warcraft addict "Prepared" has set a new standard for gamers everywhere, setting up 11 computers to run 36 separate games World of Warcraft gold at the same time.

To achieve such a feat, Prepared uses a "multi-boxing" utility called Octopus, which allows him to control multiple computers and multiple characters from a few controllers.

"I have macros that set my main assist/cast/follow," says Prepared in a message board post. "Any of the eight screens to the front can be set to main assist/cast/follow as my mouse scrolls to them all using Octopus."

Prepared has raised 32 Orc shaman to level 61 to compliment his other 8 level 70's.

With the characters Prepared can solo content that was meant for dozens of single players. He can also enter arenas in which he can use his co-ordination to kill other gamers with his tandem of characters.

For those considering a similar setup, Prepared reminds us that wow gold subscriptions can add up, especially if you're paying them 36 times over.

"It costs me exactly $5,711 in subscription costs per year with 36 accounts on the 6 month pay schedule," says Prepared. "Not bad considering I'm looking at it like it's a hobby and there are more expensive hobbies out there than World of Warcraft gold."

Although Prepared thinks that the sacrifice is worth it, there is still one major bill on the horizon he's not looking forward to.

"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," says Prepared. "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."
