Boosting cataclysm teams

[Lyonheart]

Well first of all if u have the worgen or goblins on your existing accounts with raf all u have to buy is vanilla wows lol. Then it allows you to boost them all the way to 60 as you wish and dont need to worry about extra wows. Sorry been thinking about this awhile sure i want to enjoy the new areas for a little while but dont want to waste to much time seeing how you only have 3 months of raf so meh dilemma time.

Without the expansion you can not "play" the new races or go into the new areas, even though some of them will be attached to the old world.

Yep if you go get vanilla wow you can't even make a blood elf character.

You may be correct to an extent but I think there is a misunderstanding here.

If I understand SS correctly, he will have the expansion on his main accounts but will link just for RAF bonus to vanilla accounts.

Let's say he'll be playing humans on the vanilla and worgen on his main accounts with Cataclysm. The humans can summon their Worgen group mates and quest through the human starting areas with the RAF bonus. Then once he's done he will just drop the vanilla RAF accounts with the non-Cataclysm races.

Korruptor that is correct. But I thought the OP was planning on having a team of 4 worgen/goblin + dk. Also one thing to consider is the new lowbie questing areas. Almost all the leveling guides I have read all say go to the bloodelf/dranei starting area regradless of your race. This is b/c the quest rewards are a lot better.

I don't know but I would think that the goblin/worgen areas would be the next best place to level your toons.

So In the situation you laid out

upgraded to Cat account a : Make Goblin/Worgen
upgraded to Cat account b: Make Goblin/Worgen
Vanilla wow RAFed to account a: make human/orc
Vanilla wow RAFed to account b: make human/orc

You could do this but to get the full team you are going to have to do it twice before you get 4 goblin/worgen.

Yep, that was my understanding as well. If I go that route I understand I will need to do it at least twice. It's still cheaper then repurchasing BC, WoTLK and CC. I personally have entirely too many toons invested to even consider replacing any of my main accounts.
