How many characters do you box?

[TheBloodmoon]

Depends on what I'm doing. Raid targets, upwards of 11 are needed. If I open up that 12th client, my system has a hard time keeping up, otherwise, I'd probably do more. But a solid group of 6 is typically what I prefer. I tend to often find a middle ground with about 8 characters, but again, depends on what I'm doing.

I haven't played for some time. But back then I started with 6, then increased the number up to 18. The reason being that if you box, you cannot really put a character in its full potential. As I progressed through tiers I required more and more characters to cover the lack of DPS/healing in which if it was controlled by another person it wouldn't have been a problem. Tier 7 specially became more toward overcomming gimmics. So instead of avoiding it, it required more brute force (increased dps). And no I never reached tier 8.

Personally I prefer boxing 6. I very much enjoyed the 6 man content more than tiers that required 12+ to over come. Not only because I don't have to gear all of them, but also I can be more relaxed when playing and not needing to swap over characters on who got stuck in some corner after a knockback.

I play 10 and I log off when more then 3 char crashs when zoning.

I keep 13 logged in, one of which is a bazaar trader, so I voted for 12

99% of the time I bring all 12 wherever I go.
