Long-time World of Warcraft players have probably had run-ins with "multiboxers", players with multiple accounts who control more than one character at a time, during their illustrious adventuring careers -- but we're fairly sure no Azerothian has ever seen anything like this. A WoW player by the name of Prepared, using the terrifying eleven-computer rig you see above, has begun tooling around Azeroth in his own 36-shaman raid party. When asked how he controls so many characters at once, Prepared was unable to respond, as he is an octopus.
However, he was able to share some of the financial demands imposed upon his single-player raid machine, such as his six-month subscription plan for each of the accounts, which runs him $5,711 annually. He also plans to pick up 36 copies of the title's upcoming expansion, Wrath of the Lich King, which he estimates will cost him $1,500. The price doesn't bother Prepared, who remarks, "there are more expensive hobbies out there than World of Warcraft." Yes, like that black tar heroin "hobby" our uncle Marco recently took up.
How sad is this shit?
Jesus fucking christ. That is sad. I stopped playing WoW a month ago when I got to level 30 hahaha.
Wow... Too much.
Every time I think I've seen it all on the internet, a WOW player manages to surprise me.
I really don't understand Why you want 36 godamn characters to play.
That picture is so fake its unbelievable.
You could probably make that in MSPaint.
Not as bad as those character farming sweatshops.
Yikes
Guys you may want to brace yourselves but I think...the story is fake
You do know that this is done a fair bit guys and the story is probably not fake.
My neighbor did this once. He wanted to be able to play with his friends but wanted everyone to be able to start endgame so they paid for their accounts, he logged into all of them and leveled them together for fast experience. It can be good if you're trying to get a game set up for friends who want to play, and to be honest he is right, it is cheaper than most hobbies of the sort (ever work on cars as a hobby?)

This part made me laugh.
You guys are so skeptical of this...

Watch every episode of lucky star and several of haruhi at the same time. I think it'd kill most people.
Jesus, that's some multitasking. I hope he uses that sort of power for a job.

Someone should really tell him those hobbies aren't even close to his dick-sucking WoW.

to solo raids you'd normally need several players for
and to be the biggest fucking geek on the internet
even if this is true I doubt he actually physicly played them all at once.
you can bot those shamans up to just toss around buffs and pretty much nuke everything down in a few seconds.
seen a few people use it, basicly had 4 of the bots follow him and toss down DOTs, using a macro for his own attacks.
so even in a full raid he'd be controlling 8 characters max, using macro's.
