    Very odd Dual Boxing problem

    O.K. so heres the deal, I've got access to 4 different accounts. 3 of which are my main account, and accounts of 2 friends that 1 doesn't play often and the other belonging to someone that quit a long time ago. The 4th account is a new account I just started this week.

    Up until this point I was dual boxing with the main account and either of the friend accounts, with little to no lag issues whatsoever. But the problem is when I started the new account, and try to log it in with any combo of the other accounts, it hogs all the bandwidth and forces the other account into a 2-5 FPS lag.

    I use the windower.net windower and am still able to DB with any combo of the first 3 accounts flawlessly. I mirrored the Config settings on my new account to match what I have them set as on accounts 2 and 3. Ive tried tons and tons of tweaking settings to no avail.

    So my question is, is there a reason a POL ID would hog all my bandwidth over the other accounts or is there something anyone can think of that I havent been able to? Also has anyone else had this happen to them at all?

    Check priority in resource? Maybe they've set themselves to be higher than the other ones.

    I can't think of any reason why it would happen, but yes, I've seen it happen. I used to dual box a friend, Foxfire, for powerleveling lower level jobs. But damned if when I didn't log onto my BLM friend to do the same thing, my FPS dropped horribly.

    I never understood it, and I'm not real technically minded, but could it possibly have something to do with the more unique pieces of armor in the character's inventory taking up more RAM or whatnot? I have no idea, tbh, but it used to bug the hell out of me, so I can sympathize with what you're going through.
