WoW Whore Has 36 Accounts, Raids by Himself

by Dan Landis on October 10, 2008 at 10:51 pm

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:

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.

*UPDATE: 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.

get a life loser

zooctastic

no life looser , you think some one with no life would be able to pay for 36 accounts?

Chad Lakkis

If by "loser" you mean Bradster, I am pretty sure the best way to reach him would involve signing into World of Warcraft.

Huzi

haha, good one

PortalPunta

I wonder how he picks which of his selfs are going to raid and which are going to wait on the standby list.

crawdaddy

he needs a tank so im sure the druid is going, he also has a priest and a mage as read above so mage is definate for int buff as all his shaman are most likely elemental or resto/elemental and priest for health buff at least but if he was wise enough it would be a disc priest for spirit buff to. honestly though he shoulda went paladin for tank if intead of druid, easier to pick up everything. I wonder if he downed any final bosses by himself or bosses that require a certain technique like rogues dodge tanking.

mike

i did this myself on a private server i ran 3 elemental shaman, 1 ret paladin and 1 feral druid. soloed every 5 man instance in BC

Sam Naylor

:O

wohdin

Jim

What a loser...

fuck you jim

fucking asshole

steveo92

if you search loser in the dictionary it come up with "Bradster"

and why spend so much money, yes their are more expencive hobbies but their are cheaper 1's aswell
you could buy a ps3 and a new game every week and spennd less money then what it would to play a stupid game witch causes people to sit infront of a computer 24/7 and even if you were to play WoW your even more of a loser if your only friends in the game are your self

Adam

I wonder why people call him a loser when he's capable of doing some of us could just dream of. And by all means, don't be harsh on the guy. It's his life and it's sure better than writing "get a life loser" on a game news/forum site. Enough said! Keep going Bradster!

Renin

aaaaaahahahaha this is just sad, sad because PUGs/Alliance do suck alot of the time. Sad because one person has resorted with playing with himself (insert pun here) rather than with other people. But you know, this is plain addiction if you ask me. He needs to go to rehab or serious therapy.

schpihnkter

Is that used toilet paper I see under his chair?

Maffi

ask this guy about multitasking. jesus D:

dillon

it must get pretty hot in the middle of all that.
but i wish i could run raids by myself that would be awsome.

Allen

Though I think it is a waste of money, there are more expensive hobbies. Clearly he has the money to do whatever he wants, so calling him a loser only makes yourself look ignorant. Even more so because you are on the internet doing it.

To each his own.

Cal

I wish i had that soughta money..

@ wohdin.. WoW still is, and always will be the most popular online game. Don't flatter yourself with w/e piece of sh*t rip-off of WoW u probably play.

ANONIMUS

Seriosly im gonna have to call the *cleaners* and take you away from home even tought wiht that money you could buy a House :/

And you are gonna feel frustated yourself when your 30-o what ever account end the subcription i never seen a worst guy like you buying mutliple account get a free server :P. I highly suggest you should step outside and pray up to the sky and follow these word

*God...why did i buy 36 account?* and make sure all WoW *healty* players hear ya :)

Bered

In my opinion there is a limit when a hobby turns to an addiction, and I think this is just not a hobby to this bradster but an obsession.

steve

that is just insanity. who has that much time to waste nonstop hours playing just 1 account, but this guys plays 36?! talk about addiction.

i wonder how hot it gets in that room with all those computers and monitors at one time. not to mention his electric bill too.

Cuedy

Just looking at the picture of all his computers set up, he has to be very smart to create that.
I've played WoW in the past & love it. I'm hoping to be able to play it again soon. I really admire this guys intelligence.

necronzero

WHAT A LOSER!!!!
I BET HE DOESNT EVEN KNOW THE TERM "Girlfriend"

distero

I'm sure he knows what a capslock key is though

il-mouzer

He does have a life actually, levelling isn't really that hard and he's been around doing so for ages. I know him, he's on my Xfire. I did stop from playing WOW since my job and family took over my life.

Then again he's been working on his army of 36 gor ages, levelling slowly.

elli

Man, that is bleak.

Normality

WOW...not the game but my astonishment- i am astonished at the fact that this guy 'bradster' with the obvious technical intelligence does not have the common sense of a child. He has the mass capacitance to be able to set up 10 computers and simultaneously use them effectively but for what? A terrible outdated boring game that conceives hours upon hours of time; time that most people generally like to use having a life. And then the lack of common sense to go onto the internet and post what he is doing as if it is something people would praise him for? Bradster just basically set himself up for failure. I am sorry but it does not cost you exactly $5711 a year to play WOW: $5711 for account fees + $74x10(avg cost of elec for running a cpu for a yr) + $8000 (generous price of 9 CPUs, the 10th CPU most people have in their household) + any chance of getting laid = life.
As you can see bradster doesnt spend 'only' $5711 a year to play WOW but his life
It is sad to see such intelligence go to waste... same reason some people are intricate serial killers in prison, they are masterminds but dumba$$es

lolercaust

ROFL theres a copy of everquest on his desk too.

keitsi

Obviously he has more than enough money, so why judge his hobby by the expenses?

It's true that it's weird to use thousands per year for WoW but does it matter if your bank account says $10000000.00?

Pacquiao

what a loser

Cuedy

That's not a waste of intelligence. No matter how much you already know about something, you learn even more by doing it. If I ever had a company that needed a computer system set up, I would want someone like this guy to be in charge of it.

Satyrii

Unless it's your money and you worked for it yourself, i suggest you shut up about what he decides to spend it on.

Resto

I love all the people calling him a loser. So, he likes WoW-- big deal. Just because a lot of you wouldn't be able to do this without turning into a hermit with no social skills doesn't mean he automatically has no life. For all you know he might go out with friends once a week; considering what passes for 'socialization' around my hometown and college, WoW is a much healthier pastime. (Yeah, binge drinking isn't my thing, kthx.)

besides, I think some people are jealous that he can afford to drop over $5k a year on WoW. Would that I had that kind of money.

So yes, I think a lot of the mockery is born of jealousy, at least in part. ;)
