5 accounts vs 6

[Grodjerodjer]

Greetings! So as the time grows nearer, I've been putting in a lot of thought about my group composition and leveling strategy as I'm sure most of us have.

However, I face a small dilemma I haven't been able to find an answer/suggestion for anywhere, and that is: Should I box 5 accounts or 6?

I currently have 6 active subs so come time, I have the option to box 6 accounts, but I'm worried this will drastically increase the amount of time and tedium it will take to level.

Running 6 accounts means dungeon grinding is no longer an efficient option, which I can justify not doing as I don't mind quest/mob grinding (even if it is slightly less efficient); however, as I currently understand it and please correct me if I'm wrong, but you cannot complete quest objectives in a raid group in classic - meaning quests with shared credit will always have to be done on that 6th account, increasing aforementioned time and tedium.

I should mention it is one of my major goals to reach 60 fairly quickly, although I have no intentions or aspirations on being in the top % who do so first, if that makes any sense.

Anyhow, thanks for the read. I'm looking forward to any thoughts, corrections or suggestions!

It really depends on what you want to do, but I have a hard time seeing what 6 accounts offers over 5?

Personally I'll be running with 6 as well, but the 6th account will just be used for playing the AH game while I'm dungeoneering with my team of 5 :-D

Go with 5 accounts or multiples of 5. 6 will just makes things extremely hard on yourself since you can't enter dungeons with more than 5 and can't complete quests in a raid.

One very minor benefit to having 6 accounts would be that you could use the 6th account to reset dungeons while you're farming on your 5box team.

Not sure if that's worth paying another $15/month for.

Good point but can't you still do that with 5 accounts with a lower level alt on one of your 5 accounts (albeit with more pain due to logging out/in characters)?
