Need your opinion

[Terbulous]

Ok, so here is the deal. My main druid (was my tank) ive been leveling is on an account that isnt under my name. (a friend gave it to me after leaving wow back before BC) and when i saw the posts the other day about the trial accounts being banned and the other stuff with different account names, i decided to go grab another account before i get that one banned.

Here is my question.

Currently my druids are only 19, i level them in my spare time between playing my main (who just reached 70 a few days ago). So now ive got more time and can start leveling.

Ive already got a level 36 pally on another account...

Should i re-level one druid up to 19 with my other 2? or should i just say to hell with it and transfer my pally to the new account?

What im looking for is, what would you do if you were in this situation. would you make a druid? or keep the pally?


thx

Go with the Pally tank. They seem to be more MBer-friendly.

It's hard to say actually. From experience it can get really tricky multi boxing more than 1 class if you don't have prior experience. But with enough practice you could effectively control them.

Other than that it is up to you on how you play. Paladins make great tanks (even holy specced) and with righteous fury they can tank while healing and can give you a standard rez if your instancing.

I wouldn't transfer the paladin to a new account though. $25 transfer isn't worth it if your level 36.

How is your current accounts setup, assuming you have only 3 right?
If your current setup is what I think it is:

(Main) lvl 70 char, lvl 38 pal, lvl 19 druid
(2nd) lvl 19 druid
(3rd) lvl 19 druid (this would be the one with wrong name)

Then I would suggest replacing account 3 and rolling a druid. That way you have your choice of either a druid or paladin. Assuming you have the above setup (if not post it).

from what i can understand in your post is your 70 druid isnt in your name but you have then 2 other accounts 1 with a paladin and another with a druid on it.

so 3 accounts but only 2 are in your name.

if this is the case you have to lose the one that isnt in your name, its not that you must never play this character again, its that if your reported and a GM investigate and sees that 3 accounts are online 2 are in different names to the third alarm bells are gonna ring.

you have 2 choices really, either have it so that all names match or never play the druid 70 while boxing.

worst case senario is a gm bans all accounts tied to your ip address and you lose everything, you could risk it and just say hes a friend at your house on the network, but gms arnt stupid they will be onto you. In my opinion isnt worth it.

its so hard to really work out your senario ive just reread it again and i cant actually work out how many accounts you have whos on what account or anything.

also not sure if you realise you cant transfer between accounts if the billing adresses are different from each other.

please explain a bit more whats where, have to excuse me its first thing in the morning brain needs to wake up abit more.

i have never tried it... but... i recently spoke with a guy that sells accounts. i didn't know you could do it. he said you can change the contact info and email address, which makes sense.. normally.

see if you can just move the account over to your name. that would remove the issue.

[Squiggoth]

I can confirm you can never change the name on the account. This is because you cannot trade, sell, or GIFT an account to anyone. EULA states so.

The ONLY way they will change a name is if the name is under a mother/father, and the child turns 18 and can legally have his own account (or whatever that age is). But then I'd think they'd be suspicious if the last names didn't match, if they did you could just xfer the character anyway.

So yeah, I wouldn't try even asking them to change the name....just will raise red flags.

Ok lol, um, here is how ive got everything.

Account 1. (my origional account i had since WoW beta) Has like 5-6 level 60-70's on Malfurion alliance on a PvE server. Including a 70 Teir 5 resto shammy. And also has my 36 pally on it.

Account 2. (my friends acccount) Has my 19 druid on it. It also has my current main on it. a level 70 enhancement shaman on Nath (PvP) this account was given to me about a year ago, i leveled all the characters myself.

Account 3. (my account) Has my 19 druid on it.

Account 4. (my account) Has my 19 druid on it.

Account 5. (my account) Has nothing on it, is the account i will be making my other character on or transferring to.




Ok so those are my accounts. The reason why i dont just use my origional account with the pally already on it is because my friend that gave me his account came back about 6 months ago and i let him use it since i completely hated PvE. and i wanted some PvP, plus i wasnt currently using the account for anything. So he currently pays for that account and plays it all he wants, ive still got the info for it and can log in when i want but i generally dont cause he is on.


Ok, so if that helps any to understand. I dont know how to explain it any better.

I've played a 70 feral druid and 70 prot pally. I'd give a slight edge to a paladin tank. Both paladins and warriors are better for holding aggro on multiple mobs(consecrate, ret aura, thunderclap, etc). Swipe only targets 3 enemies. I could pull 5 groups in Ramparts and hold aggro with a pally, couldn't do it with a druid.

Otherwise, there isn't much difference. They all have "dots" (lacerate, rend, seal of blood or vengeance i think), a taunting ability, and a stun. I haven't played a 70 warrior, but I've healed enough in my raiding days to see what they do.
