No Disclosure Necessary
When I first started dual boxing a couple months ago and was looking to join a guild, I wondered if it was better to disclose up front with the GM that I dual box or just let it be. I came to the conclusion that it was probably still better to just be up front with the GM as to avoid any troubles down the road.
Well it seems this isn't such a huge issue after all and I was probably just being paranoid since I was new to the whole multiboxing thing. I just joined a new guild and there were no problems. I joined with my main, then followed up with a simultaneous request from Team DoubleD. I did the obligatory mention in guild chat that I was both of them and that was that.
So perhaps no disclosure is necessary at all. However if you're multiboxing a larger team, it's more likely you and/or your GM will get comments. So it may still be better to just disclose you're a multiboxer from the beginning.
You know, I never thought bieng a boxer would potentially limit your guild options. I never had that experience since the guild is for personal friends only.
Grats in finding a guild and good luck with your dualboxing teams.
Grats on finding a guild. I never thought bieng a multiboxer would hamper guild opportunities.
That said, I have never had that problem with my 5 man set up, but I am in a small friends only guild.
Good luck on your multiboxing adventures.
It really shouldn't matter, and as you've mentioned most guilds are people you are familiar with. However when you are searching for a new guild it may hamper your ability to join especially if there are people that aren't so welcoming of multiboxers. As a five-boxer I"m sure you've had your share of comments from people (both negative and positive), so imagine those negative comments making their way to your GM. It would be better if your GM already knows and could easily and effectively handle it.
