Will I ever do more with any of these characters than enter the world and maybe manage to get through the 1-5 zone and out to their racial capital city? Realistically speaking, probably not. Nevertheless, the collector in me still wanted to have a complete set of Classic Classes.
Kamalia et alia 
They look great, lets go to war.
Hah!
When I first began playing WoW, I was on a PvP server because that was where BTH’s RL friends were. I HAAAATED being ganked (yes, you may imagine that in Sindragosa’s voice). When BTH later transferred to a non-PvP server to join a different raiding guild, the money I spent to transfer my whole roster over to that non-PvP server was some of the best money I’ve ever spent on WoW.
My Classic characters, therefore, are on a “Normal” server.
Ha! I’m slowly doing the same thing. Don’t know when I’ll get to them or how far they’ll go but I’m getting there.
You’ll undoubtably get farther than I will!
I haven’t even entered the world yet with any of these toons…
My goodness, it seems that you only need one to blaze the trail and then the alts are sure to follow with a gold piece and a mageweave bag for a head start.
