noob question

Hi, here is my question.

I understand that to play 5 characters, 5 accounts are required.
But does that mean I need to have 5 installs of the game?

You don't need to do different installs, but i like to cause i use different addons on my alt toons then i do on my main.

nope u can run them all from one copy pwnboxer will set up stuff like sound and lower the setting to make them run better, but u need to buy 5 games 5 exp and OFC pay for 5 a month under the fee Mutiboxing can add up if u going to box but its fun and cool so who cares, what i say a xbox, or PS3 game costs about £50 each and then it last a few weeks? so its not that bad

You will need one set of account keys per instance of warcraft which you want to run.
You can install the game off of one set of disks, or even from account management.

If you are software boxing, one folder is fine.
If you'd like different video/configuration options, you can Symlink the folders.

If you're hardware boxing, you'll need a copy of wow on each PC.

If you're not sure what your PC can handle, you can send yourself a trial account (which cannot level past 10th), via the RAF link in account management.
With this trial account (and several others), you can log into wow with multiple accounts at once, even though you've only paid for a single account.
These trial accounts aren't much good unless you update them to a real account, via CD-Keys, but they do put the full strain/load on your system.
Which gives you a very strong indication of how your system will run, running "x" accounts at once.
