This by itself is a crippling problem to our attempts to multibox the game.
Almost all content is viably completed with two players: the entire game is open to you!ĭisadvantages of DDO as a multi-boxing game:. The entire game is the end-game (though there is still the usually bevy of raids to be done at max level, should you want to engage with that!). The Reincarnation system: Rather than have the “end-game” be consumed by difficult group content and raids at maximum level, the true end game of DDO is getting to max level, reincarnating, then doing the entire thing again. Unlike many older MMOs on the market at the moment, this means there is not a dearth of content to explore at the “end game”. 
Horizontal progression: DDO’s content does not become redundant with each new patch. This is particularly valuable for multi-boxers, as it gives us flexibility to design characters that complement our weaknesses. A complex character creation, levelling and progression system that offers players a lot of control over their character. Near infinite progression with a large number of difficulty levels: you could potentially never run out of things to do. Guide is done, and I still have nothing to do: if there is another game you’d like to see get this treatment, let me know and I’ll see what I can do.Īdvantages of DDO as a multi-boxing game: In addition, this guide is largely the product of a COVID lockdown giving me nothing to do at the exact moment we were unceremoniously dumped out of WoW. Please let me know if any aspect of this guide is confusing or insufficient: I’d be very happy to improve it further. In this guide, we’ll go through and demonstrate a control set-up that can enable you to 2-box the game.Īs a little glimpse of the future, proof of concept or reference for later, below is a commentated example of me running a multi-box team through an early-ish adventure in the game on the first tier of the highest difficulty. It has a comparatively small but loyal following and is still regularly updated: as of the time of writing, the game literally received a new expansion pack only a couple of days ago!ĭDO has gone largely unappreciated by the multi-boxing community at large because it is an exceptionally difficult game to multi-box: it does not have a follow function, and there’s no easy way to get around that. 
It has survived for this long for two reasons: first, it was one of the first MMOs to join the free-to-play revolution of the late 00’s and, second, it is a complete oddity in it’s class, an “action MMO” from a time where such games didn’t exist that quietly embraced a different set of conventions to the rest of the genre. This compendium is intended to be a one-stop guide for how to set up and run a 2-box multi-boxing set up for Dungeons and Dragons Online.ĭungeons and Dragons Online (DDO) is a long running MMO that is inspired by 3.5 edition D&D.
