What tools do I need to properly multi box in WoW?

Question

I already own multiple account (4), so I need tools that are authorized by Blizzard to:

  • Be able to control 4 games at once (1 keyboard and 1 mouse)
  • Be able to see one screen in large and the other in small (and ideally be able to easily switch)

Note : tools would be programs and maybe in-game addons/macros

Return of experience of successful multi boxers will be greatly appreciated.

Answer

This is the current top answer from a similar question From: EpicAdvice.com - What are the best resources for multiboxing? .

I used Refer-a-friend and referred myself (it is legal as long as you buy a second copy of WOW). RAF gave me a large exp bonus so leveling went quickly.

Dual-Boxing.com has a very good wiki on how to get started. Since most computers these days have enough CPU and Memory, I ran both toons off of my main computer. I used a free program Hot Key Net that allowed me to do picture in picture with both WOW sessions up. It took some time, but after I got it setup it was very fun. There is also a section on dual-boxing about the pro's and con's of different class combination to level.
