I think there are places in Europe where RAF is against the law (considered a pyramid scheme or something) - maybe Netherlands? You're not alone, others have and are leveld without RAF. I tried to, but eventually gave in and created 4 new accounts to boost 4 existing accounts (didn't transfer toons as that would get costly, so basically had to double the leveling time).

This is why I now plead with new multiboxers to utilize their RAF as much as they could handle. I originally thought I'd just want to play 5 druids... big mistake. Now I have about 6 full teams at 60+, and I hope I never want to multibox rogues, warriors, or hunters...

You can transfer a toon from Vanilla to WotLK, but I don't believe you can transfer from WotLK to Vanilla.
