A lot have asked me, why create so many? The main reason is to invade Stormwind and Ironforge when they reach top level. I’m sure the Alliance will put up a big fight when that happens. We’ll see how it goes. If they don’t make level 70 before Wrath of the Lich King, then it will be at level 80. That is my main goal. That will probably happen after I’ve got some PvP gear from the battlegrounds. I’m also planning to do some 25 and 10 man raid instances but that is secondary to my PvP goal. Of course I’ll be doing arenas too to build up PvP gear but I’m not expecting to do that great there because I’m way behind in gear right now. I need to get to level 70 first, then level 80 and by then I will probably have all green gear while most others have been doing the battlegrounds and arenas.


It costs me exactly $5711 in subscription costs per year with 36 accounts on the 6 month pay schedule. Not bad considering I’m looking at it like it’s a hobby and there are more expensive hobbies out there than World of Warcraft.


32 of my shaman are level 61. One shaman that I had before I started the 32 is at level 70 along with 8 other level 70 classes that I had. My mage, priest and druid are in the center of the circle of shaman in the pictures but they are kind of hard to see. I’ve also got some mages and priests that I’m currently working on that are level 23. Once they are at level 31.9, I will stop working on them, get 16 of them to level 60 with the recruit-a-friend bonus levels and work on the shaman again.


When Wrath of the Lich King is released, I plan to be at the store when it opens and will purchase 36 copies of it. With tax, it should be about $1500 for all of them. Then the shaman are on their way to level 80 along with the priest, druid and mage.


By the way, I have 9 level 80 shaman created on the Murmur PvP realm in the Wrath of the Lich King beta. I mainly tried it out to see how well my computers would work as they are. With the exception of one my desktop computers, I should be fine with the hardware that I have.


I use 3 addons in the game. CT_MapMod is used to give me locations for quests, etc. ClassIcons is another addon that I use to show the class of the target. It helps for PvP encounters. Then the last addon I use is SSPVP2 which is excellent for displaying timers and other things while in the battlegrounds.


For my keys to send to all instances of WoW on my 11 computers, I use Octopus 1.3.2. Maximizer in Octopus allows me to start up all WoW instances at the same time or any individual instance such as if a WoW instance has crashed. It also allows me to shutdown all of the computers at the same time.


geez...this guy makes me look like the coolest freakin kid in the world >_>

WOW, i'm impressed actually. i would never do this, but, props to him for being so dedicated to this game that he calls a hobby.

it seems to be his life more than a hobby though.

and, even though this is mean, it's pretty funny how i'm laughing at his seriousness of the game. xD how can he say what he's saying and not realize that he's taking it too far?

You serious?? Someone actually DID this? o__o

But.. It looks so photoshopped.. My god, he must have a bazillion arms.. Either that or he hosts online parties in his bedroom..

Imagine the chain reaction from a spilt cup of coffee...

haha I actually have somewhat of a similar setup, but nowhere near those extremes.... 3 monitors, 1 laptop, 3 desktops, 2 keyboards 3 mouses.

ok, I have around 30 wow alts... but this! WOW! if you guys want I can show you my babies...

Shamys suck at pvp unless they're full haste ench, and even then, I can whop them with my rogue, or maybe a hunter... Mages pwn, locks pwn, but I suck with priests... can't wait to torrent WOTLK, why waste cansh on the originals, although I did get my wow from original cd's ( from a friend ).

But to have so many acc's, I MUST show this to my wow guild mates!

He's missing out on some great addons like quest helper and many others, my fav is clothier, useless in pvp, but really fun!

I'm sure the military makes slightly more use of anything that looks like this than this WOW player...

Haha wow!!! That's amazing... and kinda funny because the laptop he has on the bottom left is the same laptop I use. XD I don't get into it that much, but to be so focused as to do just one thing ritualistically like that is quite interesting. Diversity in activities doesn't exist much with that guy huh?

And YES! I have finally returned since moving out of my parents house and into an apartment with my fiancee (Bulma1017). Woot!!

Phoenix: Love the new layout on TFL. Finally catering to the widescreen users eh? :) (TY cuz I use widescreen). :D

Yeah, noticed you were back and missed ya here LOL...

Yeah, my last layout was supposed to be the "permanent one" but when I went to widescreen myself, I realized how squished it looked sooo... With the layout change, I took the opportunity to change to PHP.. LMAO... NEVER AGAIN!

Once Phoenix comes up with a burst of creativity, I'll expect another "Final" layout.. xD

Nah I'm too lazy... Maybe once every 2 years then. The ones before didn't function very well and for the longest time I hesitated in turning the site into PHP due to the massive amount of work. Of course, the more I hesitated, the more pages built up to be transformed, so what the hell... I just changed it.

Actually, the LAST layout I did (version 13) was claimed to be the last. The ones before that never claimed to be the final ones. Only improvements to my site. It was in the last one that I realized how lazy I was and wanted a layout that could be used for all eternity...
