As you know I am the 24 boxer From EQ. As I already have all the equipment in place I am thinking of 25 boxing WoW but I know nothing about the game. I do know that there are 62 WoW players for every 1 EQ1 players and it seems it might be time for me to go where the majority is.

I think my machines can take 5 instances of WoW each, as they work on 4 instances of EQ NP. If I have to upgrade Ill do so.

The way I work in EQ is I have 6 monitors and 6 computers and flip through each group starting an in game macro or social. I can go through all 4 groups in under 2 seconds.

Not sure if that will work in WoW, but it should.

I am thinking of all mages (and 1 priest for rez/heal/tank?). And the Undead Mage seems the way to go, with the anti-fear thing.

Im not sure how sheep work in pvp, surely you cannot just sheep all your oppenents and kill them one by one.

what I see in november this spell (available at level 60) should be my goal:

http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?spell=44781

Instantcast, 30 yards, 3 second recast

The thing is though if I roll 25 account (I have no concerns about money lol), I plan to ALWAYS play all 25. From what I see, based upon my limited knowledge, I won't be doing any 2X2 or 3X3 or 5X5 things, all dungons are also just 5 max, is that true? Also I don't is it even possible to level past 60 without doing quests that cannot accomodate 25 characters at the same time? Also only 1 of the 4 battlegrounds will allow more then 15 ...

I see also in november a new pvp zone, possibly this would be best for me running 25 at one time:

http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?zone=4197

Is it possible to "world pvp" (Im going horde on a pvp server but the one that has the most allience/horde ratio) and get decent gear?

Does any of this plan seem logical?

Anyway I mainly am wondering what difficulties (or impossibilities) I will face if I play all 25 all the time.
IIRC, EQ allows 6 players per group, so that's probably why you have 24 account, and have 4 groups you can go through in 2 seconds.

I think the best approach to leveling 25 toons is doing quests 5x each as a group. You don't need a tank to do quests outside of instances. If you group together as raid of 25 toons, you can't complete quest objectives.

If I were to level 25 toons, I would level 5 gorups:

5x Blood Elf Paladins. 5 tanks! And maybe make 3 holy healers later.

5x Undead or Troll Mages. See Undead has this fear break, and troll have Spell Haste which will be good for PvE raiding.

15x Shamans? : Orc for +dmg racial, Troll for haste racial, Taurens not so much for PvE aoe stun/more hp.

or you can mix up some other class for raid buffs: Priest (hp, spirit), Druid (+stats, +armor, boomkin aura), and Warlocks (health stones, curse).

If you're talking about EQ1, then most of the bosses there are Tank and Spank. Bosses such as Nagafen, Vox is tank and spank.

The 25 man content in WoW such as High King Mulgar requires many tanks, with mobs doing a variety of crowd control and aoe damages: such as fears, stuns, cleaves.

Consider running 10-man perhaps first until you get a feel of how WoW runs?
According to WotLK, the content there will be made for 25-man and has a corresponding 10-man content.
