I'm impressed.....and scared....I wonder what this guy looks like, hell I wonder what he does for a living to be able to afford all of that.
I'd lol if he was some 28 year old investment banker who gets laid nearly every night.....and then when he's done....goes raiding by himself.
Well.....at least he always wins the rolls. :D - doublefelix, on 10/12/2008, -9/+167Multiple WoW accounts aside, you just know someone calling himself the "Bradster" is a douchebag.

In what is perhaps the most shining example of obsession and geekiness I have ever seen, a fella by the name of Bradster has 36 World of WarCraft accounts that he plays on 11 computers simultaneously. He mainly seems to be doing it because he doesn’t like to rely on so many other people to get a raid going, which includes attacking the Alliance capital cities, and on that front I can totally see where he’s coming from.
I hate those Alliance douchebags too, but I’m not about to drop $5711 per year like Bradster is. The best way to get to them is to just live well, right? Well, Bradster doesn’t appear to be letting the Alliance off the hook so easily, as he plans on picking up 36 copies of Wrath of the Lich King on day one, spending around $1500, just so he can have a raid group of level 80 Shamans terrorizing Stormwind as soon as possible.
Read on to see how this crazy man manages to control all of these characters.
From the Bradster himself:
A lot have asked me, why create so many? The main reason is to invade Stormwind and Ironforge when they reach top level. I’m sure the Alliance will put up a big fight when that happens. We’ll see how it goes. If they don’t make level 70 before Wrath of the Lich King, then it will be at level 80. That is my main goal. That will probably happen after I’ve got some PvP gear from the battlegrounds. I’m also planning to do some 25 and 10 man raid instances but that is secondary to my PvP goal. Of course I’ll be doing arenas too to build up PvP gear but I’m not expecting to do that great there because I’m way behind in gear right now. I need to get to level 70 first, then level 80 and by then I will probably have all green gear while most others have been doing the battlegrounds and arenas.
It costs me exactly $5711 in subscription costs per year with 36 accounts on the 6 month pay schedule. Not bad considering I’m looking at it like it’s a hobby and there are more expensive hobbies out there than World of Warcraft.
32 of my shaman are level 61. One shaman that I had before I started the 32 is at level 70 along with 8 other level 70 classes that I had. My mage, priest and druid are in the center of the circle of shaman in the pictures but they are kind of hard to see. I’ve also got some mages and priests that I’m currently working on that are level 23. Once they are at level 31.9, I will stop working on them, get 16 of them to level 60 with the recruit-a-friend bonus levels and work on the shaman again.
When Wrath of the Lich King is released, I plan to be at the store when it opens and will purchase 36 copies of it. With tax, it should be about $1500 for all of them. Then the shaman are on their way to level 80 along with the priest, druid and mage.
By the way, I have 9 level 80 shaman created on the Murmur PvP realm in the Wrath of the Lich King beta. I mainly tried it out to see how well my computers would work as they are. With the exception of one my desktop computers, I should be fine with the hardware that I have.
I use 3 addons in the game. CT_MapMod is used to give me locations for quests, etc. ClassIcons is another addon that I use to show the class of the target. It helps for PvP encounters. Then the last addon I use is SSPVP2 which is excellent for displaying timers and other things while in the battlegrounds.
For my keys to send to all instances of WoW on my 11 computers, I use Octopus 1.3.2. Maximizer in Octopus allows me to start up all WoW instances at the same time or any individual instance such as if a WoW instance has crashed. It also allows me to shutdown all of the computers at the same time.
Here is a picture of my computer set up: http://img101.imageshack.us/my.php?image=wow36box2 ...
Not shown to the right is another laptop which runs 3 copies that I just moved there. The keyboard on the right was moved to the top shelf there as I don’t really use that keyboard while playing. I have macros that set my main assist/cast/follow. Any of the eight screens to the front can be set to main assist/cast/follow as my mouse scrolls to them all using Octopus. - pytis123, on 10/12/2008, -3/+58Yes, I will.

- mandraque, on 10/12/2008, -8/+56My point of view is that if you are going to waste your time in an online game you should at least excel in it. With that in mind, this guy is a complete success, the holy grail of what time wasting should be, putting to shame all the inefficient time wasters out there.
Im kididng, this guy is clearly an idiot. - GarrettGrimsley, on 10/12/2008, -1/+48http://i34.tinypic.com/23qytrd.jpg
Impressive, it is a shot of his setup. - metalhead87, on 10/12/2008, -17/+63"When that same amount of money could be spent to fly to a Hedonism resort in Jamaica with a pocket full of Viagra and enough blow to fill a snow globe ... you're a loser."
Yeah....nothing beats spending 5k on some STDs and a drug addiction.... - BigDaddyBucyk, on 10/12/2008, -1/+45 nice set-up, but where's the picture of his "girlfriend"?
- brianez21, on 10/12/2008, -2/+43LOL Isn't that MrBabyMan?
- T00LB0X, on 10/12/2008, -0/+40well...someone can correct me if I'm wrong but the article says
"I have macros that set my main assist/cast/follow. Any of the eight screens to the front can be set to main assist/cast/follow..."
So what that says is...he can set one of the eight screens/characters traveling somewhere or attacking something...and everyone else will do it as well. Or he could assign EACH one of the 8 main screens to different tasks and divide those tasks among groups of 4-5 of his characters...each group would do the same thing that one of the 8 master screens is doing.
Effectively what he can do is control up to 8 different groups at once or just everybody all via 1 screen...because the groups will do what the master screen assigned to them does...but if he needed to go meta he could pick out individual characters and choose different actions. - je12u, on 10/12/2008, -7/+47"Yeah....nothing beats spending 5k on some STDs and a drug addiction...."
You obviously haven't tried it. I'm w/ lardo on this one. - T00LB0X, on 10/12/2008, -1/+39(UGH i was answering your original question about how does he control 36 diff characters...but then you changed it to intervention...oh well im keeping it here.)
for example he could assign 28 of his characters to ALL attack the same guy via one of his main screens...whatever the main screen targets everyone else in the 28 would also target and do the same attacks that the main screen is doing...by casting 1 lighting bolt...all 28 would target the same thing and lightning bolt it.
The remaining 8 characters he could divide however he wants to keep the 28 healed.
It starts sounding more like a realtime strategy game than an MMO when you do this kind of thing. - poopdigger, on 10/12/2008, -1/+36Make love, not warcraft (all I thought of when I saw this story)
