Haha, as someone who thinks he's a capable person to explain stuff, I'll go ahead. Tell me how I did it
WoW, or
World of Warcraft, is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game. It means that a great number of people play the same game world on the internet, each of them playing a "role" or a character that develops over time, gaining abilities and enjoying a lot of different kinds of interaction with other characters, some goal-orientated, some social.
5-boxing is a way to play more than one character at a time, which is the default. Usually people control one character at a time with a computer, mouse and a keyboard. With some technical arrangements, planning, setting up, skill and additional purchased accounts, this number can be increased to practically anything possible. 2,3,4 and 5 are the most common. Technical arrangements include multiple computers, software to control multiple keyboards/mice from one keyboard/mice, and hardware to use one computer display to show the graphics from multiple game instances at once.
Refer-a-friend bonus is an arrangement made by the game developer, where a player may invite "another" player to the game, increasing the in-game rewards for both the players. These increased rewards may be achieved even if the one doing the invitation is the same as the one receiving it, as long as they are done from different game accounts. So, one person may enjoy these greatly increased rewards from gameplay just by inviting their own accounts to the game.
So, did I explain well?
p.s.
this is outside the game, but I've worked 60hrs a week (2 shifts) as a telephone interviewer to pay some sudden bills I've got. It's been a heavy job
