Multiple WoW accounts on 1 Battle.net and RAF?

[Ualaa]

You can RAF (Refer A Friend) to your own email address.

However, you will need at least one retail account to refer from.
From this account's management page, send an RAF link to your email.
Create a new account using the email CD-key information.

Down the road, or immediately perhaps, you will want to upgrade the RAF account you have just made to a retail copy of the game.
Until you upgrade, I believe you're capped at 10th or 20th level.
And cannot make Blood Elves or Draenei until you upgrade to Burning Crusade.

If you already own 5 accounts which are set up, RAF is less useful.
The cheapest route will be to RAF from say A and B to two new accounts.
Then group A + B + two new Accounts + existing high level.
And boost the 4 new toons with the existing toon.
Repeat the process using C + D + two new accounts + existing high level.
This will get 4 toons (on existing upgraded accounts) to 60th, with each pair taking 1/3rd the normal time (total 2/3rds normal time because you're doing it twice).
This will cost you 4 new accounts (classic game), which will not need to be upgraded, and will get you RAF on 4 of your 5 existing accounts. These accounts will not be kept after the RAF period, so don't need to be BC enabled, even if you're making alliance shaman's or horde paladins on your existing (already upgraded) accounts.

If you don't mind blowing a bit more money...
You can link from A like this:
A >>> New 1 >>> New 2 >>> New 3 >>> New 4.
And when all the toons on New accounts reach 60th, transfer them to your keeper accounts.
Or alternatively, only keep one of your existing 5 accounts (to boost with).
And go with four new accounts which become your "keeper" accounts.
You can character transfer from existing accounts to these freely (30 day hold on transfers once an account joins a B.Net account), which might be fewer transfers if you're leveling several teams.

You don't really need RAF at all, but if you're doing more then 1 team 1st to 60th, I'd probably try to make RAF work.






Every 2 levels gained by a new toon, they can grant 1 level to the account that referred them.
Since we start at 1st, two levels gained means 3rd, 5th, ..... 57th, 59th...
RAF stops at 60th. So counting odd levels from 3 upwards to 59, we get 29 levels.

Each toon you level from 1st to 59th or above, can grant 29 levels to toons who are both 59th or lower and lower level then the granting toon.

So two toons at 60th, on the RAF account can grant 29 + 29 levels = 58 levels.
If you were to level a toon to level 2, but already be 19.5 bubbles into 2nd.
Then after 58 boosts, you will be a level 60 toon, and already 19.5 (of 20) bubbles into your level.



Further, if possible you want to daisy chain your RAF grantings.

If you have four new accounts and set them up like this:
Old A >>> New 1 >>> New 2 >>> New 3 >>> New 4

Let's say you level four teams from 1st to 60th.
That is four new toons on each new account, boosted by a main on the original account.
We might have 4x Druids, 4x Paladins, 4x Shamans and 4x Rogues.

Each New account can then grant 29 x 4 = 116 levels to the account which referred it.

New 1 -gives- 116 to Old A
New 2 -gives- 116 to New 1
New 3 -gives- 116 to New 2
New 4 -gives- 116 to New 3

So Old A and New 1 through New 3, can each create two toons, get them to 2nd and as close to 3rd as possible without leveling to 3rd. And then grant each of them 58 levels, which means 2 more level 60 toons on 4 accounts.

But New 3, New 2 and New 1 each receive 116 levels from RAF over and beyond what was earnt during leveling up. So they can grant levels based on these granted levels. 116 levels

New 1 -gives- 58 levels to Old A -because of the 116 levels it gained from New2-
New 2 -gives- 58 levels to New1 -because of the 116 levels it gained from New3-
New 3 -gives- 58 levels to New2 -because of the 116 levels it gained from New4-

So Old A and New 1-2 each get to boost a level 2 toon to level 60...

This cascade effect diminishes by 50% for each step.
But there are a couple more steps.
Even without illustrating further, we have several extra level 60's (very close to 61st even), probably with full rested experience if they were camped in inns, over and above the 4 combinations of 4 toons each which we boosted.

Cascading RAF's is a good deal.
