I wondered where these posts went to

I did, in the end, start five fresh accounts and RaF them in a circle. I was a bit intimidated about the process but it couldn't have been easier. For anyone thinking of doing the same, each time you send an invitation to RaF, an email will be sent to the recipient (normally yourself in our case). If you click on the link in the email, you'll be invited to either create a Battle.Net account or log into an existing one. Once logged in, you're presented with a list of qualifying accounts to select from.

I sent the invites one account at a time to ensure that everything got linked together correctly.

So far, I've leveled three teams (five hunters, five mages and five priests) to 15. I'm going to do five paladins and either five druids or five warlocks next. That'll give me the toons I need to build five teams of tank, healer, 3 DPS that I intend to level through LFD.

I've been using ISBoxer so far with no additional addons or macros. That's clearly not going to cut it once I hit the dungeons. I find ISBoxer quite opaque but I expected that to be the case. When I boxed back in TBC, I used KeyClone and built everything else with macros and had considered doing the same with HotKeyNet but I suspect that, once I push through the pain of learning ISBoxer,it will prove a better choice in the end.

My only other issue now is my hardware. The PC I put together in 2013 (i5-3570K, 8GB DDR3, gtx9700, SSD) is just about coping but my 1.1Mb/s internet connection makes for a very laggy experience right now.
