Back to Multi-boxing after a break
Greetings folks,
I started multi-boxing LotRO last year and ran several teams ( 6man, 3man and a duo + uncounted TP farm teams) successfully through all the free content and on my 6man team I bought ND on all toons (from the TPs I farmed) and got that team to the gates of Fornost - I started to do the instance when it happened....
LOTRO BURNOUT!!!
Yep - people here and on the LotRO forums warned me that it could happen - especially going at TP farming like a mad man - I built 11 6man teams - 2 teams per server and did all the deeds for TPs in the starter areas + The Shire + Bree-land on each team - whew!
And while I did earn enough TPs to purchase ND and Angmar on my 6-man and 3-man accounts + the usual character and account purchase like virtue slots, gold cap removal, shared bank etc, I also bought myself a big case of the burnout.
It was a good time to pause actually because I needed to refine my config to account for the better skills and better strategy - like being able to take my mini in and out of warspeech and things like that, that really wasnt a big deal in under level 30 content - but the need for a more sophisticated, effective and flexible approach was becoming apparent with the Fornost content.
So anyways - I took a break from multi-boxing - LotRO and gaming - broke out my Telescopes and CCD cameras and just took pictures of the stars for about 4 months and un-digitized myself... I'm feeling much better now!
About a month or two ago I started to play DDO (again) and after a few weeks of that I started to long for Middle-earth and wide open spaces (again) - and then next thing you know I'm back in the saddle (again) - Then Gamestop put onsale its Mithrill Edition box set with TS+Eregion+Moria+Loth+2000TPs for $9.99 and i couldnt pass it up - so I bought 5!!!
And now I'm back to boxing!!
yay!
woop!
Ok- so my thing is - since i took my break the ISBoxer SW versions have changed - was on 38 - now its 40 or something - I reformatted my computer and lost a lot of my config sheets and notes - they seemed to have nerfed or changed the Minis - the whole barter system has changed - and i forgot everything i thought i used to know.
I was going to just start over and try to relearn my boxing lessons as I go and switch to my higher level team after i get up to speed - but im afraid of burning myself out before i get there - however - I wont be farming for quite a bit -at least not with a vengeance like i did before... so maybe im being to overly cautious.
So anything new I need to know?
Any Suggestions on how i should proceed?
I guess Im just rambling trying to avoid getting elbow deep in my config script till this weekend when I have some time to do that - I wonder if anyone would want to share a config script with me - so I can have a look-see and try to remember whats going on?
thanks for reading
