WORLD OF WARCRAFT
Don't Get Busted

Multiboxing is allowed in World of Warcraft, and third-party programs like this one are also allowed. But it's possible to write hotkeys that break the rules. How the program is used is up to you.

Here are some guidelines for sticking to the rules:


One <Key> per window

If your hotkeys do nothing more than send one Key command to each window, they are legal.

One action per window

A hotkey should perform no more than one action per character. One action means "something you can do with a single keypress with the game itself."

In-game macros, not chat-line commands

Some players think the rules forbid hotkeys that send chat-line commands. To be safe, use in-game macros instead and trigger them with the Key command.. Anything you can trigger with a single Key command for each window is legal.

Avoid the Wait function

Some players say the Wait function is illegal no matter how you use it. Others say it's illegal only when used to separate two actions. To be completely safe, you may want to avoid it completely.

Technical pauses

HotkeyNet inserts tiny pauses into certain commands for technical reasons. For example, MouseClick pauses for an instant before and after it clicks to make sure the target window has time to recognize the new cursor position. Normally these pauses are too short to affect game play. However some players believe that any pause by a third-party program, no matter how short, even if it has no effect on game play, is a violation of the rules. If you are concerned about this you should avoid the following functions:

SendWinMF: Use SendWinM instead.

SendWinSF: Use SendWinM instead.

MouseClick: Set MouseClick Delays to 0 0 (zero zero) on the Settings Panel.
