Thinking of 25 boxing WoW - Not sure about a lot of things

[Havelcek]

I really whould like to see this but I doubt it will work. Anyways, my advice (and that of a few others) is: since you don't want to start your 25 till wotlk use the time and play one character to 70 (preferably a paladin). That way you'll get experience with the game mechanics and get some ingame cash for repairs of your 25. Or you could play a group of 5 containing all characters you consider using to get a feel for those characters.
Anyways, stop reading and theorycrafting - go, pick up a few wow copies and start playing around. Then continue reading based on the experiences you made.

He's been told this about dozens of times in these threads but he doesn't seem to get it. We shall see.

you can't complete kill quests while in a raid.

This is what's going to kill you honestly. That and there simply aren't enough mobs in old world content to kill back to back with the kind of killing power you'd unleash with 25 characters. That being said there is a dynamic spawn rate in Outland so if you park somewhere, lets say one of the Orge areas in Nagrand, the more people you have there the faster they respawn. There I could see this as being feasible and you're also going to make a ton of cash from blues, cloth, coin drops.

Good luck to you sir, I think we're all excited to see how this turns out for you.

Got one copy yesterday. Have 21 on order, will get 4 more tommorow on order.654rfvbgt

Settled on

1 Blood Elf Female Paladin (Prot)
25 Taruen Male Shaman (elemental)

Still not sure of server though, has to be LA data center with PvP. But hard to tell which has the most alliance targets ...

[Shuri]

PvP realms in LA are :
Aegwynn
Akama
Barthilas
Blackrock
Bloodscalp
Bonechewer
Boulderfist
Chromaggus
Crushridge
Daggerspine
Darkspear
Dragonmaw
Drak'thul
Dreadmaul
Dunemaul
Firetree
Frostmane
Frostmourne
Frostwolf
Garithos
Gurubashi
Hakkar
Jubei'Thos
Kil'jaeden
Korgath
Malorne
Mug'thol
Nathrezim
Ner'zhul
Smolderthorn
Spirestone
Stonemaul
Stormscale
Thaurissan
Tichondrius

I'm on Akama so I can speak for it, it's about a 1:1 ratio of Horde to Alliance. If you're looking to be outnumbered check out http://www.warcraftrealms.com/realms...hp?sort=server but keep in mind these can be way way off.

EDIT: Updated the list, I was missing quite a few.

Bloodlust
