World of Warcraft Will Ban Multi-Boxing


Warnings will go out soon.

Blizzard has announced that the use of input broadcasting software to mirror keystrokes across multiple game clients will be a bannable offense. The company posted a notice this week that warnings will soon be issued for players detected using such software, and that the move comes in response to the negative impact on the game caused by malicious players using such tools.

We will soon begin issuing warnings to all players who are detected using input broadcasting software to mirror commands to multiple accounts at the same time (often used for multi-boxing). With these warnings, we intend to notify players that they should not use this software while playing World of Warcraft. Soon thereafter, the warnings will escalate to account actions, which can include suspension and, if necessary, permanent closure of the player’s World of Warcraft account(s). We strongly advise you to cease using this type of software immediately to maintain uninterrupted access to World of Warcraft.
