Starting over - advice from those that have

[Owltoid]

Thanks for the helpful replies.

There is something so tempting about a clean slate. I'm sure many have had that feeling. Starting on a new server without any "seed" gold, no boosting and just running instances at level, making a new name for yourself on the server, etc. Obviously I'm trying to debate if that's worth the $325 plus TONS of time.

I considered waiting until Cata, but there's no guarantee RAF will be around. In fact, since they're redesigning all the old content, I wouldn't be surprised if they did away with RAF. They'd likely keep 1-60 similar to what it is now, decrease 60-70 exp a bit, and heavily decrease 70-80 required exp to level (thereby keeping the leveling time from 1-85 roughly similar to the current non-RAF 1-80).

It would be sooo sweet to have all my teams names exactly how I want them and have everything unison based on the knowledge I've gained multiboxing for the last 1.5 years.

Not an easy decision...

One perk of starting new accounts is that I would have 5 legacy WotLK accounts in case I ever decided to 10-box (not likely, but you never know). I do make very good money at my job, but recently lost a ton investing in options... not my brightest moment in life.
