2 EQ2 Files

[Widd]

<p>How do I make 2 seperate EQ2 programs on my PC?  I was told this will help since I 2 box.  Something about pulling the data from 2 differant files instead of both accounts using one?  Does anyone know about this?  Thanks!</p>

I dont think it matters because with a game open you can open a new patcher. The patcher operates the same as it would if you opened only one account. The question is how your computer performs while two boxing. I expect with duel core support going into GU49, this will no longer be an issue and your puter should be able to two box very easily if you have a dual core processor.

Just run the Eq2.exe file twice.  no need for seperate installs.  Any UI changes and such will be linked to the login name and character.  If HDD space is not an issue fee lfree to use Wingriders01s suggestion.
