Malocity Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 does anyone know how to do so? i'd like to have my game opened multiple times for different characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexDougherty Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 I don't think you can, if I google something, it sort of freezes SwToR, so I think short of running several computers at once, you can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoobooMagoo Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) As far as I know, multiboxing isn't supported by this game, so multiple computers is the only way to go. Edited January 1, 2013 by MoobooMagoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MitchPB Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Even if you have 2 computers capable of running SWTOR you cant log into more than one character at a time on an account. Example: if your logged in to one toon on one PC and try to log on to another toon on another PC the first will get logged out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidlock Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 If you have really good system specs (more than 8Gb ram, great graphics, etc...) than look into virtualbox. It will do it for you. I'd suggest multiple monitors to make the job easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its true, ive tried it, its not possible to log into multiple characters on the same account no matter how good the PC/programs are or even if you have more than 1 pc running.. its account wide.. so unless you have another account it cant happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bahdasz Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 1- what would be the point? with no macros you're not going to be botting anything 2- do you really think your pc can run 2 of this game at once? 3- you would need 2 accounts (or more) because if you are logged in on one account you can't get into the login server with the same accout for another session. Tried and verified. 4- I have not seen anywhere that anyone has found a way to get the game to allow multipe instancing, even if your comp wouldn't melt down in the process.

Makes it harder but not impossible. 2. Yes without a doubt I can run atleast 6 copies of this game. The game only uses 1 thread much and the other threads hardly touches them at all. 4. I believe you can get it to run on VMs. But besides getting it to run it would still be a giant task to get it to work properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafaman Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) What would be the point. Getting multiple instances to run is doable... but what would be gained if you have to have multiple accounts to login to more than one toon simultaneously? Just asking as I'm curious as to what would be gained. Edited January 2, 2013 by Rafaman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just asking as I'm curious as to what would be gained. You would quest much faster and you would gain social points like crazy. And since game is f2p there is not additional cost running 4 copies of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holinyx Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 OP never said he was using more than one account. might be talking about trying to level all his account toons at the same time. /shrug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just asking as I'm curious as to what would be gained. I've seen some multiboxers mention that they prefer to run heroics this way rather than PUG or join a guild.

MitchPB Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I can see the appeal for soloing stuff like EOT but for harder stuff like HM's wouldn't it make you feel dirty inside? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeftyCrow Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I just see it as a way to not have to spend so much time lvling every toon I have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smuglebunny Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 but how can you play on them both at the same time even if you could? I mean physically. Cuz I have seen a group of 2-4 similarly named toons all mirroring each other in a tight little group. How do you do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuspectDown Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 2. Yes without a doubt I can run atleast 6 copies of this game. The game only uses 1 thread much and the other threads hardly touches them at all.. Granted, I run the game maxed out @ 2560x1440, but no way even on lower settings this game only uses "1 thread". Not to mention, that ignores the fact what is going to render it? You would need a separate video card for each one if you plan to keep the windows up and be able to play.
