XP gain stopping at 60 just about halves the usefulness of this. I was sooo excited for a bit there.

Well good news, I stand corrected.

Glad I was wrong lol .... they sure seem to be embracing multi boxing ... Ill be paying for 6 months upfront, what a bonanza!

Woot! 25 or 26 mounts 4 me!

WoW Im signing up at virtually the perfect time.

I setup my 5 accounts just this Saturday Night Aug 2nd 2008 and all my accounts are "linked". However, i did not pay for two months upfront on the linked accounts, so no rewards yet untill that happens.

What I want to know, will I be recieving the xp benefit now? Need to log in and see.

The Zhevra, for those interested...

Triple honor too... I think you will be maxed out with the major factions by like level 30. I wonder if the triple honor counts for the bc factions? Getting exalted with all old school factions has never been easier. Does triple honor last til 70, or I guess it would stop with the exp gain at 60? I think you can get into Slab at 59, I guess you would ding before you would get any great amount of faction from the triple exp.

So let's say you have 5 accounts. 1 main account with assorted level 70's and 4 "alt" accounts with let's say 1 lvl 70 shaman each.

1. Transfer the shamans off the 4 alt accounts to the main account. 4 x 15,- (dollar, pound, euro, whatever)
2. Cancel 4 alt accounts.
3. Invite yourself 4 times.
4. Get 4 new battlechests. 4 x 30,-ish
5. Activate the 4 trials and get 4 free months on the main account in the process. Plus 4 Zhevra mounts. Joy.
6. Transfer back the 4 shamans to the 4 new accounts. 4 x 15,-

Now you have the ability to lvl as many new 5-man teams with triple xp as you can manage in 90 days. Plus 2 free level 60's on the main account per team you level to 61.

Is this correct? Very VERY tempting. Bit pricey though.

So what's the optimal way to take advantage of this?

3 new accounts?
Old1 -> New1
Old1 -> New2
Old2 -> New3

Create a new team on Old1 Old2 New1 New2 New3 and all five characters get triple experience.

I'm also curious to see playtimes and if this comes anywhere close to the speed of just boosting in instances. I'm guessing it'll be somewhat close, and I'd guess boosting may still be a little faster even with the leaving instance and zolo nerfs.

Other than the mounts on Old1 and Old2, you'd also get a free level 60 character on Old1 (30 levels from New1, 30 from New2) and 30 levels on Old2.


Edit: I also think it's worth noting that since all the bonuses only apply up to level 60, you can probably get away with just buying a $9.99 copy of Classic WoW and transferring the new characters to your main 5 accounts when they ding 60.

Just ordered my last 4 so I have 1 now and 25 on order!

Oh its already been posted.

Well lots to read.

Let me see if I got this right, you DONT want to invite everyone from one account cause then you only get ONE mount.

You need to round robin like listed:

1 invites 2 who invites 3 who invites 4 etc.

So Ill get 25 mounts (the last account dosnt get one), that way.

For triple exp I could have a group 1,2,3,4,5 and all get it then 6,7,8,9,10 also all get it? with the round robin invite method. So any 5 consecutive would all 5 get the bonus exp.

Humm they may as just as well start you at 60 lol ...

I think the best way to take advantage of this, if you want the mounts for all of your accounts at the same time then dothe following

A reqruits B

B reqruits C

etc etc...

Also, just posted by a blue....

"Again, mounts are not restricted by faction, as the selection process works sort of like TCG cards (that is, you're able to select any character on any realm on the veteran account). "

Don't think it works like that does it? Unless you wait 90 days between each invite.
