From the patch notes:

Bind-on-Account Items: Players can now mail Bind-on-Account items to characters on the same account and realm regardless of faction. Please note this only applies to Bind-on-Account items. Other items or gold cannot be sent via mail to characters on the same realm and account if they are from differing factions.

With the new patch you can now send heirloom items across factions.

[...] and K are bound for levels 58 and 64, respectively. After my last post about the ETC project, your comments convinced me that I should at least try using Refer-A-Friend to speed things up, and [...]

The recruit-a-friend program is a blessing. You can easily set up system where one button push sends the same command to both hunters (I used HotKeyNet, but there are plenty of options). Like Frostfire, I set loot to free for all. If you macro all the commands for the `second’ hunter to include /assist lines, its just like playing one hunter (with a minor hassle for quest turn ins and looting quest drops).

Its ridiculously fast – even past lvl 60, when the triple XP falls away. Two BM hunters trivialize any quest.

I think you’d really like the Recruit-a-friend program. I tried it a couple of months after it came out, and found that I love playing two hunters together. I make a macro (/follow name-of-character) and put it on a hotkey so that it’s easy to hit whenever you need to move independently and then get back to following. I set the party loot to free-for-all so that my lead can loot everything. The triple experience is amazing, especially after doing so many the slow way! I’ve leveled several other classes with this also, but my favorite has always been two hunters. For the second hunter it’s easy to hit the tab/1 keys for target and attack. The only reason I need to do anything with the second hunter is to loot on drop quests. Anyway, you should give it a try; I’ve had a lot of fun with it.

Unfortunately I can’t remember where I read it (probably on wow.com), but I remember reading that cross-faction heirloom transfer is in the works. Probably it’ll come out for patch 4.0, that would be my guess at least, but I’m sure you will find a way to take advantage of it once it is available :o)

I think you misunderstood me, Myzou. Of course Mania would have to have a level 10. The point is that she’ll have to have overlap somewhere–with her current design, the overlap is with 76 and 80. If she had the overlap at lower levels, even as low as 10 and 14, then she would be able to have most of her toons save a couple of levels.

The banality of general chat channels would be the reason nearly all of my chat channels other than /guild, /party, /raid, /battleground and /tell are routed to my combat log instead of my main chat window :)

*Raises an eyebrow at Ethgri* I see you never had to suffer through Barrens chat of old. I do not pity you in that regard.

As far as leveling alliance goes, my leveling is usually very quiet anymore. Course I try my hardest to avoid capital cities and heavily populated areas…..
