I took a shameless Shaman Star pic ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=RGalleryImageWrapper&itemID=613') and put it in the gallery!
Took me a /played of 2 days and 15 hours. I am pretty happy with that :) This being my first time multiboxing and RaFing and all :)

Grats! I've never done RAF myself, but my guess is now when the real fun starts :)

Nope! Taking advantage of the RaF... Now the warlocks will get to 60, hopefully in less than 63 played hours though :)
Congratulations.
And yes, use the system as much as you can. One can not have enough groups to chose from. BTW, 63 hours is not that bad for a first group, at least if that includes all the time setting things up and learning macros.

Setting things up
Learning macros
Managing the Auction House (Didnt feel like making a bank character)
Getting a guild charter signed so people would stop spamming me to join their guilds
Looting EVERYTHING in sight for gold (Though actually, I pimped out my shamans for their Guild Forming abilities and made a significant amount of gold that way :))
It was a long and slow process. I am hoping with the extra gold I got from the shamans not getting their mounts my warlocks will go faster, especially since they also get their mounts through skills. This time however I am starting herb gathering right off the bat to help compensate for things. I really just didnt want to have to mess up my characters on Shattered Halls, did not realize how much of a gold sink RaF was.
Got a few hours played on my locks now, but most of that was setting up the initial group/pip macro keys again, though I am getting better at it.

Now that you have one team to 60, I'd personally relax on the trade skills on later teams.
At 60 (in classic wow) or 70 (in BC) or 80 (in Northrend) you can go from 0 to max in about the same time as leveling a skill as you level the toon.
Ignoring the tradeskill during leveling up will not significantly slow down your overall time spent.
At the same time, you can do tradeskills after RAF expires, but you cannot level another team quickly 1-60 after RAF.
If you need whatever for a skill, you have a higher group that can get it a lot quicker then the new teams you're leveling.
By all means, eventually level a gathering skill on your teams, so you have the option of disenchants, skins, herbs, ore and cloth on each team.
Just thinking the RAF time is precious. There are so many interesting combinations.
I did Disc Priest, BM Hunters, Elem Shammies, Boomkin Druids.
I wish I had done Warlocks and a melee team now that there's Click to Move + Interact With Target.

Getting a guild charter signed so people would stop spamming me to join their guilds
This is practically mandatory for a multiboxer. Until I started a guild I'd get between two and five guild invites per session and usually per character. Most were just out-of-the-blue invites, others were preceded by whispers telling me all about their exciting guild, which was made up of seven characters between the levels of 8 and 56. Half of these guilds are started by immature egomaniacs who figured that within a week they'd be leading a cutting-edge level 80 raiding guild, and if they don't it is everyone else's fault.
It's nice and quiet these days. :)

I wish I had done Warlocks and a melee team now that there's Click to Move + Interact With Target.I am fearing money will still be an issue and time spent just farming money could have been better spent just pick up a few things here and there as I run around is all. I want to say I am 3ish weeks into my RaF and I understand that I need to focus on just getting em to 60.. I should probably play classes I dont have much experience with or like that much just so I dont find myself in need of them when RaF goes poof. Another problem I have is gifting, hehe. Ive no idea who to gift my levels to with out then making a group of that class complicated to run!!
As for the Guilding, yeah, it was two days of people spamming all 5 of me and jamba relaying it all to the one I was on to join guilds where I went Fine! I form my own damnit! hehe.. They would ask me to join, I would ask if they knew what multiboxing is, when they said Huh? I would respond with Ill pass ;)
