Duo box vs 5-man box

The bonus subscription time, which can be significant, affects both Classic & Retail.

Ah, I plan on just buying 1 month sub then dropping the mages and keeping the priest along with one mage I used on my main. I would only use the other mages to get to 60

There's no exp penalty for a group of 2, and speed runners have said that duoing is faster than soloing (with the right class combo). Duo questing is faster by a few days if you follow a speedrun guide like Joana's. The issue with duoing is scheduling playtime. Multiboxers do not have that problem.

The fastest to cap record is a solo mage AoE farming... Otherwise I think Hunters are one of the fastest solo and both a Hunter and Druid get extra movement speed from level 20 on (outdoors only on the Druid). A duo Hunter+Druid mainly questing outdoors should be pretty fast to cap.

I did an unofficial "speed run" on a hunter back in 2005 (wasn't actually racing), just grinding mobs, that was again, "unofficially" a few hours faster than Joannas old questing record. I also know other hunters who beat it "unofficially". I think hunters are consistently the fastest class. Mages are faster if they are completely uncontested. So play off hours, and scream through the levels, or play a hunter, mash buttons, and almost match an uncontested mage.
