I decided to install the Battle Net desktop launcher thing and I remembered a posting you made some time back about launching two instances of the game: Catriona R wrote: >It copes with asking it to run two copies of WoW at once (which I was worried about, as I like dualboxing!)< How do you do it? I'd like to be able to occasionally two box with my spare account, but I'm not having any luck figuring out how to run the launcher twice or whatever the trick is! Thanks! B

Just press Play again after launching the game once :-) I do it like follows: - Select account, press Play on launcher to launch game - Tab out, change account in dropdown menu - Press Play again That's assuming you don't have it set up to close the launcher after launching the game; if you do, then relaunch the launcher and carry on :-) You do need both accounts connected to the same Battle.net account btw, if not you'd have to re-login on the launcher which would be a pain. There's one annoyance with multiple accounts though, at least if you're on a high pop server; you'd think with Battle.net accountwide stuff that they could make it apply to your position in the server, but no - if I want to change character at peak times, it's back into the hour long queue for me! :-(
