Dual Monitor MMORPGs?

Omicron099

Are there any MMO out there that support dual monitors.  It would be real nice if you could have the map and some stats panels open at the same time as your playing.  Plus you can have all your item bags open which would help out the quick bar situation since mine are all full.  Anyone know of any that are out or coming out soon?

From my experience there are more than just a few that support it.

I was running wow on dual screen for some time. With the awesome power of addons you can make any setup you desire. Ie I had almost clean play area on one and all the info flow, chat, overviews etc on second.

Tho after upgrading to widescreen i returned to game on one screen and web/icq/all the other stuff on the second. Many of the mmos almost require a web browser with an info site opened all the time

No MMO's require a web screen open.

Only players require this.

Ie EVE goes as far as to have browser in-game. If more people actually found out information they seek by themselves there would be less stupid questions asked in-game and less stupid decisions made.

I cant imagine eve without warious info tables or calculators or wow without wowhead and armory. Granted, it is possible to play without, but as much as i hate the term, you are gimping yourself.

So I reccomend 1 screen big enough all the stuff in game you want fits on it + the other for all the other stuff you do while playing MMOs (IM, chat, web, pron sites for quick wank during one wating or another, etc etc)

I have been playing Voyage century and 2moons at the same time using two monitors on same system using sand boxie, but both low on graphics.

Eve supports TripleHead To Go, if you have 3 screens.

May not answer your question but you can increase the field of vision in FPSs to see more when using two or more monitors. You might be able to do something similiar in MMORPGS.

sanicek, even in Eve i need at least one additional monitor for Teamspeak, a Map (better more maps) or even irc when im testing stuff on the testserver.

I know only few mmos that dont benefit from a second screen for stuff.

Oh, btw: one of the Devs stated that they are working on some kind of multimonitor support. He didnt say what exactly though, so its probably in early developement..

I usually play movies or tv shows on my 2nd monitor while playing hehe

Well thats what I said, a screen for the game + a screen for all the other things instead of covering both (or more) screens with the game. I was just giving EVE as an example that it even contains in game browser, so it was from design aware that additional data resources need to be accessed during the game.
