QFT.

Rep does not decay anymore for the starting races (i.e. you can go back to starting night elf area and get INSANE rep by killing level 1 nightsabers for a kill quest) -- so at any time you can come back and go grind out that faction mount you always wanted.

But the BE/Draenei areas DO decay. And they have SO much rep. I always start all of my characters in these starting zones, no matter what race. (Hint, level a lock to 20 and some level 1 alts, then get a port to shatt and use them to summon any number of alts out there)

Well if you want to buy WoW without the expansion ... keep in mind you can always get a 10 day trial for BC once your register. (unless your already in trial status for regualr wow).

This will let you do BE/DR quests for rep. Although I really don't see the need for BE rep, its one of the most empty and inconvenient cities.

The quests and loot are a bit better.

It depends on what the battle chest comes with. If it comes with both boxes but 1 key then I would not buy it. If it comes with both boxes and two keys then I would.

To maximize play time and minimize cost, do the following:
1) Start multiboxing on trial accounts, upgrade them whenever you want. The time is added, you don't have to wait until the end of the 10days in case you hit 20 soon, which you probably will.
2) Go ahead and buy your copy of the expansion for each account you want to upgrade, but do not upgrade the account yet. This is where it is important to know if the battlechest comes with two keys, which you can use the expansion key seperately, for the next step.
3) When you reach the end of level 57 (or are getting close), goto www.worldofwarcraft.com and do the 10day trial of the expansion. This allows you to reach the end of level 60, and you can do opening quests in Outland. You will level faster and get a big gear boost. You can complete additional quests and such if you like after reaching the end of leve 60, just don't turn them in to the NPC, or you will lose the experience reward from them. Instead, save the turn-in portion until you have upgraded.
4) Use your expansion key to upgrade your account at the end of 60. I'm not totally positive, but I believe it will add to the 10days from the trial.

So you end up with 20 extra days. The first 10 from the original trial add on to play time, even if you upgrade your account early. However,I'm not positive on the expansion trial. So it is at least 10, maybe 20.

edit:
If you are not worried about cost, and want to focus on pure speed:
1)See step 1 above
2) Go ahead and upgrade your account, and find a port/summon for your crew to Shattrah in Outland. Bind at the innkeeper. This will allow you to hearth and take a portal to any of the major cities for your faction. So you don't ever have to worry about extra travel time (like if you are following a quest guide, or need to train a specific weapon skill only available in one city) when you have to go from continent to contient.

Thanks a TON! Now a few more questions. I have one account (my main one) that i'm not paying for (a friend is and he doesn't know :P yes! ahha im a cheap basta) So i need 3 more. I was thinking id buy 3 wows set one up and hand out two recruit a friends for my other 2 accounts. giving account B 2 free months. So A is free B is 2 months free. then the other two have a free month on them right? So it'll look like A=Free lifetime B=3 Months free C=1 Months D=1 months? Pretty much im trying to minimize my cost at all cost(play on words lol) and level the most eficent(sp?) to speed and cost.

* all this isn't including Expansion yet. I think ill just buy it when i hit 65*

With 1 account you can "recruit a friend" from their website, up to 5 invitations can be sent concurrently. But keep in mind that an account that "recruits a friend" will not get the free month of play time until AFTER the "recruited" account has PAID for a month, AFTER the first free month included with buying the full game.

I don't know (you said otherwise, but just an example here) if you can recruit yourself 4 times in some fashion with an account your already own. If you could then you would get 4 free months of playtime when they pay for thier first month, same as above. The question is if you let you send 4 recruiting invitations to the same e-mail (probably not), or if you do it by e-mail and first/last name and only 1 per last name, etc. You might have to do a work around to accomplish this, like create additional hotmail e-mails, etc.

Battlechest is the way to go for sure.
