Been looking for an answer but could not find it. Could someone point me in the right direction?

Okay. I am thinking about coming back to WoW and multiboxing. I am looking at the RAF thing but I have a few questions. I checked the WoW forums and here and I can not find an answer to my questions. So with out much further verbage...

1) Can you gift levels beyond 60 now that the level cap is 80? For example, can I level all the new characters to level 55 and then gift all the way up to 70?

2) Should I reactivate my old main account and buy 4 new accounts or should I just buy 5 new accounts?

Thanks for the help ahead of time... I wouldn't be asking but my eyes are starting to bleed because of all the pretty highlighted words :(

1. No you can only gift up to 60.

2. That depends on the money you have and what your goals are.

I personally would buy 4 new accounts and link them together a>b>c>d and use my Old Main UNLINKED account to PL (Assuming you have a 60 or higher that is suitable for PL'ing). If you link your main acct, and use a toon over 60 you lose the XP bonus.

If that suggestion doesn't fit your needs, activate Old main, link 4 new accounts togeather with it a>b>c>d>e (all 5 linked) and roll a new toon on each. Kinda depends on what your old main was, and what you want your new group composition to be.

Just remember if you try to "Boost" or "PL", you will lose out if your higher level toon is linked.

Personally, if you're planning on 5-boxing, I'd go with four new accounts plus the original.

RAF leveling leaves you extremely cash strapped; any amount of gold on an original toon will help enormously.
Plus, that's one toon who will not need to buy skills as they level up.
RAF ends at 60, so even if your previous main quit warcraft prior to tBC expansion, your old main is at the correct level (or higher) to join your team once RAF expires.
The big assumption here, is that the original account contains at least one toon who would fit into your team at end-game.

With a 60+ toon doing all of the killing, your RAF toons can blow through quests incredibly quickly. That's 3x the normal exp's for the quests.
You can also run a lot of instances in a short period of time, as you go higher level this slows dramatically for non-AoE classes, but is still a quick way to level and an easy way to gear the new toons.
