Dude Has 36 WoW Accounts, Zero Girlfriends

Kenzi October 12 2008 4:57 pm 58 Comments

We’re currently on the way home from our week long stay on the beautiful beaches of South Carolina. I let my wife take the wheel as we pass through Atlanta, so I thought I would share this incredibly…stupid story. Bradster, the dude mentioned in the title, has an amazing 36 WoW accounts that he even more amazingly plays at the same time. I’m not gonna post the whole quote from the article I found, but will share some of the funny stats.

  • His accounts cost him $5711 yearly.
  • He plans to spend $1500 to upgrade them all to WotLK.
  • He plays on 11 computers, lol.
  • He onnly uses 3 add ons.

I’m not going to make too much fun of him, but the opportunity is certainly there. You can read the full story including his interview at Ripten.com.

    Why is it that all multiboxers are shamans? Totems or what?

  • LinksLife said:

    Dude…

    Just dude…

    Thats nuts… and/or dedication… and/or multiboxing on an epic scale… or a combination of all 3.

  • Xelios said:

    That is not dedication. That is.. well.. just sad and disturbing.

  • Ishbu said:

    This guy plays on my server, I’ve talked to him a few times. He is actually married and has children, so that zero girlfriends shot you took at him in the title is an epic fail. :-)

  • Anon said:

    Three words:

    EPIC

  • Zuty said:

    I think that if anyone had an excess amount of money and really liked WoW, they would MultiBox to this degree.

    @Euin – I think people like MultiBoxing Shamans because of the classes balance between healing and spell damage. Think about it, with 36 Shamans, you make 18 Elem and 18 Resto. No way will you survive 18 Shocks, Fire Nova Totems, or Chain Lightning Procs and no way will your group die if each character has a healer following them around while they all have Earth Shield up too.

  • poopoohead said:

    I don’t have exactly 36 girlfriends either so I wouldn’t make fun of him just yet. Let the one who has not sinned cast the first stone.

  • raij said:

    least he keeps the play area clean

  • goatman said:

    wow thats kinda sad but if what ishbu said is true i wonder how his family takes the huge money drain.

  • Deathmagik said:

    Ishbul he could be lying to you
    P.S. has no life how does he get enough money to pay bills, wow account .. etc…

  • Manifesto said:

    Like he said in the interview, $5700/year for a solid Hobby really isn’t that bad.
    It doesn’t take anymore time than any other hobby might. I think you’d find he plays about the same time as any regular wow player, so there’s no reason to make fun of him when he’s in the same situation as any of you… He just has the mental and monetary capacity to multi-box.

    Though, it would have been a load of work to level them all…

  • John Doe said:

    With the amount of money he must earn, I’m pretty sure he could get a girlfriend if he wanted… very easily.

  • Juna said:

    That is epukk(kiwi accent). Whoever posts anything negative about this guy is not seeing anything objectively. One could only wish to have the financial support and patience in leveling that this person has obtained. Not to mention the mental stamina to see it through like so many don’t. Example: I have 75 toons on 16 realms and I’m a release-day-player from inception. Only 5 70’s, 5 in the 40-65 range, and the rest are 35 and below. I take my hat off to him.

    “Anybody that says money is the root of all evil, doesn’t fucking have any” !>.<!

  • Thanatos said:

    wow… the fact that someone can even do that is ridiculous… like seriously how does he even possibly keep track of that many chars at once… let alone pay that much money…

  • nib said:

    It’s one thing to report something odd and interesting, but is the negative comments towards this individual really necessary? Very unprofessional and unsupported conjecture.

    Where is your source this guy has zero girlfriends? Or was that just a stereotypical assumption you made?

    Just from the picture, the individual gives me the impression that he’s a very clean and organized person, which is hardly a bad thing.

    You stated in the article that he plays these accounts simultaneously, so just because he has 36 accounts doesn’t mean he plays anymore than the rest of us who have a lvl70 character.

    Anyone who has the financial capabilities to support the hobby in this caliber can hardly be considered a loser in life. I’d be willing to wager he’s more successful in life than most individuals making fun of this guy.

    There’s a bigger opportunity to mock the asinine statements of this news post than the player in question.

  • Juna said:

    Well stated nib.

  • shynz said:

    “It’s one thing to report something odd and interesting, but is the negative comments towards this individual really necessary? Very unprofessional and unsupported conjecture.”

    They are not only necessary but mandatory. He’s a nerd.

    “Where is your source this guy has zero girlfriends? Or was that just a stereotypical assumption you made?”

    My source is the universe. It’s full of lots of awesome “facts” that some people like to call “stereotypes.”

    “Just from the picture, the individual gives me the impression that he’s a very clean and organized person, which is hardly a bad thing.”

    Obsessive compulsive. He’s probably a serial killer too.

    “You stated in the article that he plays these accounts simultaneously, so just because he has 36 accounts doesn’t mean he plays anymore than the rest of us who have a lvl70 character.”

    I’m going to go ahead and make an educated guess that he has in fact played more WoW than most of us. I could be wrong…but I’m not. And by “educated guess” I meant “factual statement.”

    “Anyone who has the financial capabilities to support the hobby in this caliber can hardly be considered a loser in life. I’d be willing to wager he’s more successful in life than most individuals making fun of this guy.”

    Yes, because having enough money and time to do this clearly denotes success. Or it doesn’t. I could be wrong…but once again I’m not.

    “There’s a bigger opportunity to mock the asinine statements of this news post than the player in question.”

    True. I’d rather make fun of you because you’re fat and sassy.

    THE END

  • Janus said:

    Don’t mock Kenzi that much, he IS technically right. That guy doesn’t have a girlfriend, since he’s married he has a wife

    :)

  • Mono said:

    I just wanted to clear one thing up here: The person multiboxing with 36 accounts IS NOT BRADSTER, he in fact goes by the handle “Prepared”. Prepared made a forum post at dual-boxing.com about his setup, and another user, Bradster, reposted it on the front page because the multiboxing community is just as amazed as the rest of you.

    TL;DR version:

    Bradster IS a multiboxer.
    Bradster IS NOT the multiboxer who owns 36 accounts.
    Prepared IS the multiboxer who owns 36 accounts.

  • Adnan said:

    shynz, do you still breastfeed from your mom’s left tit? You should, you don’t have the mental capacity to wipe your own ass, little do you know that nib’s realization is a realization where someone can understand something rather than a stonehead like you. I’m willing to bet u have quite a few skeletons in ur closet, you don’t have anything in your pants because your childish post can all but tell us you really have a brain in that little empty bubble you call a square. nib, behind ya all the way, the guy is obviously rich and thought it’d be fun to kick up some shit, if anyone here can, they would, or if they wouldn’t, they’d come up with something just as crazy. Having an opinion shouldn’t mean talking out of your ass instead of your head.

  • raij said:

    very true janus

  • darkuja said:

    it’s this kind of person that gives WoW a bad reputation…

  • rofl said:

    he probably makes more a year than you will in your life

  • ChaosHaven said:

    They say WoW is a game that requires no skill… well this guy sure has the skills to manage 36 shamans at a time, on 11 pc’s! :o

  • Reeina said:

    “As some commenters have pointed out, Bradster is not the owner of Prepared and all of the 36 WoW accounts, he was just the guy that uploaded the links to the forum. Bradster himself has only 5 WoW accounts. Bradster is the one who is married, so we don’t really know anything about Prepared’s girl-touching status. You may now continue to unabashedly flame.”

  • shynz said:

    “you don’t have anything in your pants because your childish post”

    I would have lol’d if I didn’t just wake up. It’s too early to lol. I was laughing on the inside though.

  • JackieD said:

    Oh thank god… I have a life!

  • bob said:

    The only thing more impressive than his 36-boxing skills, is the amount of ass that chair’s seen over the past three years.

  • Ryan Carlson said:

    My hero!

  • Aka said:

    Srsly, unless he does that for money its just a big ass waste o’ time and money.

  • jfijolek said:

    i looks like he could be running nasa from in there…

  • jfijolek said:

    *it

  • Kuru said:

    WoW…. impressive stuff… but you would think that with 36 accounts and all that equipment he would splash out on a better chair! haha

  • Keglen said:

    I can hardly dual-box two characters at the same.. i think i would fail if i tried 36 >.>

  • DavidR said:

    Yeah a lot of people have hobbies that cost $5700 a year, they are called “senators” and their hobby is called “having sex with prostitutes.”

    I can’t believe someone would have this much time. Contrary to popular belief $5700 is better spent elsewhere and is a lot of money to be spent on any hobby.

    Its his time and money, but still, pretty pathetic.

  • Mantor said:

    I quite disagree with the title, not sure why a website like here would bash someone without knowing the real fact.

  • Bob said:

    If he’s married and has kids then that means he has no girlfriends.

    Technically the title is correct.

  • DavidR said:

    Mantor the guy is drawing an educated guess about a person with 36 wow accounts. I am sure most people jumped to that conclusion. You seem pretty defensive about it, are you in the same boat? 36 wow accounts and no life?

  • erki said:

    funny to see how people react on this guy. tell you what, how the hell this might care your sorry-asses ? let the guy have 36 accounts and a dozen pc’s, who cares ? as he explains thats his sole hobby and he likes what he does.

    nerds, get a life

  • Marius said:

    Ok. Some facts. I have 2 accounts. 4 70s in one of them and 3 in the other. All chars are fully epic geared with set for alternative specs. I’ve raided to SWP with 3 of them (not simultaneously). I work in the morning (have to wake up at 06:45am) till 03:00pm and i also have some part time job in the evening (over at 08:00 am). I live in my own apartment (3 years now) and this year i also bought a car -.- These are the things that i HAVE.
    What i DONT HAVE are just 2 things.
    1) Time to sleep.
    2) Time to have a girlfriend.
    The life i’m living right now isnt normal and it wont last much more (hopefully :) Now if any of you believes that this guy has a normal life with his family, is either incredibly stupid and naive or doesnt have a clue about wow. Unless he bought all these accounts as well as 10k gold with each one of them sth that would make him a Retard.
    Always remember that WoW has nothing to do with how brilliant your mind is. It’s all about time and unfortunately every day has only 24 hours. That’s it.

  • amazing said:

    /agree with erki, why does everyone care so much about how this guy lives his life?

  • Meister said:

    I agree with shynz. This is sad and pathetic, anyone defending him is a dumbass. I’ll take the hole “this guy is such a virgin” thing a bit further. He probably says “I don’t have time to jack off, that would distract me from WoW.”

    I hope all those rigs he has start an electrical fire, he loses the who knows how much much he spent on them all and he gets his balls burned off so he never gets the chance to pass on his seed, unlikely as that is.

    Someone really needs to get oldschool an this douchebag with an aluminum bat and beat some sense into him.

  • Henry said:

    If he’s married and has kids then that means he has no girlfriends.
    Technically the title is correct.

    Correct :D

  • Tarrzzann said:

    wow, i think you should all just leave him alone and end this thread now. Who cares where he spends his time as long as he isnt laundering mony or raping little boys. Im sure if you all had the mony this dude probably has, you would spend it on something as equally rediculous as 36 wow accounts and 11 comps. It doesnt matter where he spends his mony, just that he enjoys where he spends it and what he is doing. I would be willing to bet he is ten times as happy as any of the people who just decided to cut him down. Go find what makes you happy cuz i bet he isnt talkin shit about some poor sap on another thread and you know why? because he is spending his time enjoying himself and not worrying about what kind of trash hes gonna talk next. Prepared…..whoever you are, keep doin what you like……everybody els, get a life.

  • Hopeless said:

    Lololololololololololol i want that many shamans :D And to everyone here bitching about him, yes this is sad, but also extremely cool, who wouldnt want to go into AV with 36 shamans and chain lightning this shiz out of everyone? It might be sad, but it would totally be worth it imho.

  • Acetal said:

    To all the semi retarded people saying “lol get a life” and “lol virgin”.
    You don’t know it so stop generalizing. It’s big-time fail.
    And yea he spend 5100 a year to keep them all up and running. But tbh i doubt tht’s anything he cares about, seeing as he also bought 11 pcs and 36 x wow classic and tbc. He obviously earn quite a lot of money, so the 5100 is probably nothing.
    and ye he got a shitload of characters, but since he’s playing them all at once, so he could probably be playing less then most of you bashing failpeople. So for all we know he could be having a wife. Yea “nerds” can get a wife too. As soon as you get above puberty girls actually start caring about how you are as a person.
    Really, go play on the highway. Saying he should be hit by a car when you’re the people who so miserably flame others for their hobbies, probably because you’re jealous you don’t have the money to afford it, is kinda self owning.

    PS: It’s a waste of money to buy a ferrari too, and it costs a shitload of money in diesel also. But if you got the money to buy one, the money spend on keeping it running ain’t your biggest problem.

  • Mr.InYourFace said:

    I read on the article that this guy “Bradster” uploaded this guys pictures, “Bradster” has a wife and children, although this other guy, well we don’t know.

    To be perfectly honest, it is a little cooky of him to do this, but he uses a program that allows him to load all instances of wow at the same time, assuming this; he can play 4 characters at once using 1 PC

    Now he may play 9 different comps at the same time (9*4=36) but I guess this guy just has the mental capacity to do so.

    He decides to blow that amount of money a year on it, let him be (although if he didnt want any trouble, making it public didnt help as there are a lot of ignorant people out there) but just take a second to thing these things out before you slag the dude off.

    ps: I think its a little sad/wierd :P

  • Kris said:

    hey loser get a life stop playing wow so mucha and make ur self avalable to chicks man

  • PINGAS said:

    I love how mmo players throw the girlfriend insult so much.

  • Q_Q said:

    @ PINGAS, that’s because most of them are like 12 years old.

  • dave said:

    i am sure the wife and kids he speeks of are just ingame npc’s.
    but that some one would waist that kind of money just to be a dick is crazy.he could use that money to be a help in the world.
    then maybe he could be a real life hero. this is just a game.
    “a game i love to play to.” but all games end some day, and
    you have nothing to show for all the hard work you put in to it.
    it’s just a shame.

  • Sanctuary said:

    I wonder how much his electric bill is at the end of the month….

  • Blackweb said:

    I wanna make a comment… any idiot can get a wife because most women are desperate at some point !

    Second of all having a wife doesn’t excuse you for being what I would call a loser of epic proportions. If his wife accepts him sitting there all day (and he most likely does) she is probably a fat nasty, insecure woman anyway so I’m really not impressed.

    And as someone mentioned above, wife or no that is just sad and disturbing and I feel sorry for his kids he should be taking to the movies or some shiz !

    I see people defend this guy and can’t help but think that these are also WoW addicts. I’d be surprised to see anyone that supports this guy that doesn’t play the game.
