well guys, you can get another shoutout from us, but as of today, you won't hear a final answer.
Currently, there are more important things for us to think about than the one multiboxing question. You will of course find out about the final status about multiboxing well in advance before we launch.
One thing i want to mention about keeping it blizzlike or not. Following what blizzard allowed and what they didnt is irrelevant to us in this particular regard. This is not retail, you don't need to pay for any accounts you create which makes multiboxing available for everyone who wants to try it out. Getting a program that clones your keypresses needs no effort and these programs are so user friendly that it is indeed very easy for most people to get into this. (i multiboxed myself in the past, i know how easy it is to set up)
These facts alone will increase the amount of multiboxers relative to the overall population in this private server environment.
People change their playstyle because of this and there are very obvious benefits that come along with multiboxing. While it is tougher to level several characters at once and it certainly takes more time to get all of these to 60 than leveling a single character ... the benefits afterwards are so high (being able to get dungeon loot without needing to share it with a whole grp. being able to oneshot-twoshot highlevel elite mobs to earn money faster) that personally, i don't like the idea very well to enable multiboxing this time around.
Anyways, this is just me, so this doenst have to mean anything. When we've made the final decision, there will be a News announcement about this, so you will not miss it.
