Multiplicity/MobMaster merged!

Sorry for the confusion..

Our original goal was to have a gamer's version of Multiplicity that would be called MobMaster.   This way, we could market Multiplicity to gamers under the name MobMaster without people thinking that Multiplicity itself was mainly for gamers.

During development, Robert McNaughton noticed how much better Massively Multiplayer games could be played with Multiplicity.  In fact, I have two World of Warcraft accounts and I use Multiplicity to control two characters at the same time.  The real advantage of Multiplicity can't be seen in a screenshot but rather in action -- it's incredibly seamless.

So anyway, we figured it would be cool to make a gaming version of Multiplicity to explicitly target MMORPG players and other types of gamers.  Very often I'll play with just a single character in WoW and while he's running to Iron Forge or whatever I'll just move my mouse to the other screen to check Thotbott or browse the WoW forums, check email, etc.  Because I can move my mouse back and forth so quickly and easily, it's very natural to work this way.

The problem we've run into is that we just don't have the "marketing bandwidth" as they say to promote two distinct products.  Even as is, we have to explain to the press how Multiplicity is different from say a KVM Switch or different than some open source program that in theory lets you do something similar (but doesn't work the same in practice) or even how it's different from remote control software.

So as a result, we've had to put all our attention on Multiplicity.  So we still have this site. MobMaster is Multiplicity. So when you buy MobMaster, you're getting Multiplicity.  Just realize that if you're a gamer, particularl a power gamer with many computers, Multiplicity really is a killer app.
