I recently read an article about "Dinner with the Multiboxers" (WOW Insider) and it seems that there's a lot of misunderstanding about MultiBoxing on WOW.

So, I decided to start a little blog here

BACKGROUND
I run three accounts (started with two, but added a "recruit a friend" so I could level up a couple of crafting alts)

On those three acounts, I currently have 5 level 70's... a rogue, a Tankadin, a holly priest, a mage, and a BoomKin. I've got a 60 shammy that I'm planning to zerg to 70 soon as well.

The toons are divided amongst the three accounts as Rogue/Pally, Priest/Druid/Shammy, and Mage, and my future plan is to transfer either the druid or the Shammy to the account with the mage so that I will end up with two operational sets of triple-boxing goodness.

So, when running it would be something like:

GROUP 1 - MAINS
  Primary:   Prot Pally    (Miner/eng)
  Secondary: Holy Priest   (Tailor/Chanter)
  Tertiary:  Arcane Mage   (Jewelcrafter/ ?? )

GROUP 2 - ALTS
  Primary:   Rogue         (Skinner/Leatherworker)
  Secondary: BalanceDruid  (Herbalist/Inscriptionist)
  Tertiary:  Resto? Shammy ( ?? / ?? )

(though the jury's out as to whether the druid and shammy would be reversed)

Basically, the idea here is to have two ranged/casging toons with a mele on primary (cuz that's the one the others are following and it just flows easier if I do things that way), and that each group has two ressurections/heals available

I also want to balance out the gathering so that I've got at least two different gather professions available with each group. (that's why there are ??'s in the list right now).
