Anyone else 5 boxing without RAF or boosting?

Indeed, though since RaF only helps until 60 anyway, it's really a pretty small part of the whole leveling.



Yes you can, but it is a very costly way of doing things.

Cost is all relative. 2x x-fers + games = same price as 4 games and you don't need to upgrade accounts or do 4 x-fers after.

I hit level 10 yesterday but man is it killing me. I am really tempted to start 5 new accounts with RAF. I'm horde so I'm trying to hang on until I can start running RFC for leveling. If I can just get to 17 I should be okay.

I was just wondering if anyone else is doing the same thing? I've always used RAF for 5boxing new teams. The only time I"ve never used RAF was for my 4 hunters, but I don't remember it being this brutal.

Random question: Can you transfer a level 60 from a vanilla account to a WOTLK account?

I'm leveling my 5 paly's without RAF and am enjoying the experience. To me it's all about expectations and perception and since I'm playing alliance characters for once I'm not even thinking about how long it takes because I'm enjoying the content I've never really even seen before.

I doubt I could play 1-60 on horde anytime soon because I've done it soooo many times with and without RAF that I'd think I'd vomit if I tried.

Once CATA goes live I'm sure I will be able to roll some new horldings since everything will have changed.

My current team, 5 x Paladin, was leveled entirely without RAF or even any Heirlooms.

1-60 I spent most of my time in dungeons. Once you hit 60, it gets a lot easier, and since RAF cuts out at 60 anyway, I don't feel like I lost much by not using RAF this time.

Yeah, I'm in the situation where I consolidated my team down onto a single account a while back and so now have 9 alliance @ 80 on one server and my Horde on another server.

I'm not going to worry about RAF'ing though as doing more than 1 team is just cost-prohibitve to transfer across and since I only need to level characters on the other 4 accounts, I'm just going to boost with one of the tanks on horde and alliance side as I feel the need to create a new team to go with something I already have.

I'm going to attempt to run 5 Worgens in cata, without RAF. I wonder how long I last though, since I usually hate the leveling process. Hopefully with all the new content, I won't feel bored as quickly.

Basically it amounts to what you have more of time and patience, or money. I usually run out of patience before I run out of money, so I make a vanilla account or 2, boost em up and xfer to my main account. Plus its a great way to get the rocket mounts....

Depending on how many toons you have now, and want to level up, you could either buy 3 new accounts, and xfer your existing toons from those 3 accts over, or you could just buy 2 new accounts, boost 4 at a time, and xfer half to the pre existing accounts. Or start completely over. There are a ton of choices.

I caved in and got RAF. Only need 3 new accounts, so $60 and another $60 for transfers when they ding 60. Totally worth it IMO.

When I'm leveling alts I have a whole bunch of teams that are leveling in different ways - one through only box friendly quests, one through doing EVERY quest, one through battlegrounds, one through instances, etc. It's slow without RAF, but can be fun.

I'm kind of looking forward to starting a new team 1-85 when Cata launches... I might actually re-roll on a server with more boxers if I do that.

Good luck. The Zerg seems very dead. I logged in the other day and most everyone's last login was >1 month. Only a few were active in the past 24 hours.

I am not aware of any other US server that has a lot of boxers on it....

According to the guild forums here and various threads, there are a couple of servers with quite a few.

Getting to level 10 is killing you?

I am leveling two groups of five (leap frogging each other 10 levels at a time). Its pretty trivial leveling them.

The pvp server thing sort of makes it a bit more boring than I had hoped as there are some quests I would like to do that are great XP. Sort of amusing that I am in Northrend never having been in Outlands besides hellfire to turn for maybe 5 quests right around town and shatt for a moment for crafting trainers.

I finally saw another guildmate for the first time the other day in Northrend (one of the few days outside an instance or Dal). Though they all seem to have 80s escorting them. The last time I used that method the xp hit was awful.
