LOTRO features used by ISBoxers

Lord of the Rings Online provides many of the common game features favored in multiboxing, such as auto-follow, Skill Target Forwarding and a basic in-game macro and hotkeying system.

LOTRO has an Addon system currently in Beta, which unfortunately does not support configuring Hotkeys; This makes LOTRO configuration more time consuming since the in-game hotkeys can not be configured for you ahead of time by ISBoxer, as is done for World of Warcraft.
