Since rolling on Doomhammer I've gotten my newbies to level 20 (no RAF) and made a pretty penny for myself on that AH, but I've also logged into my horde characters on Undermine to do dailies, run a few heroics, and that kind of thing for an hour or so a day - they're far from abandoned!

Edit: Or is the assumption that I'd pay for transfers or buy new accounts? I'm just using my existing accounts because I haven't been alliance in a LONG time, and want to get a feel for it - also, it's a great way to make money, questing up, when you don't have any higher level characters. I guess I just don't see this as some major or irrevocable step.
I do indeed find it hard to play on multiple servers =) Maybe it's the thought of just starting from absolute square one or something. You're absolutely right there's no reason why a person can't play on multiple servers with multiple teams.

It's just as a multiboxer you have the tools to spoon feed your lower levelers. You've already been through the hard work of leveling to 80 and can make infinitely more gold at that level compared to starting fresh. If you actually enjoy the leveling process then it'll be a good experience. Most of us who've been through it 100 times can't face it again and just boost our lower level alts in instances.
