We told sam 7 months ago to shoot 2 birds in 1 stone and:

a) minimally learn the game
b) make himself a couple "main" for boosting and other use

both could have been accomplished in about 1-4 weeks of relaxed dual (1 pally 1 mage for instance) RAF questing 1-60 plus a few more weeks to get to 70 - after which he could have started RAF on 24 remaining accounts and get them all to 60 in a couple weeks (4 at a time)

I took my then 64 or so pally with the sporegearr shield and I was able to solo 1 pull SM Cath with it - used it to get a friend to lvl42 in a few hours (note btw that I tried with my 72 DK and got my ass kicked even doing 2 pulls - my 72 hunter with a gorilla pet was fine doing 2 pulls)

BUT if he wanted to play all 26 at a time (which is also a fair option); or now all 5 mages without using a booster THEN questing (following the excellent RAF Tourguide 1-60 for instance) is the fastest way - but what takes everybody hours takes weeks for sam - he's just special like that - you should see him in game...


Sam's /played time is so big it would be scary to know (and he's going to say he can't tell his played time because it includes time hanging out in TB idle... yeah... good excuse... come on ... what's the number ?)
