Best way to start on a new server?

Scrapping all my 80's and starting over would be something I couldn't do. Guess it really depends how much you have invested but any way you cut it 5 level 80's are lots of work. By the time I got another team to 80 also I'd be so burned out wouldn't have much motivation to gear them up much less raid this close to Cataclysm.

Have to figure in your leveling time too. How much closer to Cataclysm are we going to be by then? If you level slowly you could just go right into Cataclysm and get quest gear. But that defeats the whole purpose of you raiding in WOTLK.

To raid in WOTLK you're also going to need some gear. Walking into ICC in quest greens/blues isn't going to work out well. So you're going to have to add some gearing up time in addition to leveling time.

125$ ya know it's a one time investment and definetly worth a couple of months worth of work to me personally. If I were you I'd just go ahead with transfering toons to a new server.

One thing I can't stress enough is fully investigate the server you intend on transfering too.

I'm not scrapping them - I'm just making another team on a different server so that I can hopefully raid with some other boxer types

Well I see you started some new characters. Hey if you're having fun then go for it! If you like that server and get burnt on leveling not like you can't transfer later right!

Agreed, I would level some toons a bit and play around see if the people there are for real or not that you might be joining before leaving a server with 5+ characters.

I find it sort of amazing that people jump to a new server and then RAF a teams and teams of level 60 characters there for example. I see that ending in a lot of wasted time if that server situation doesn't work out.
