I wasn't going to update, because no-one had commented at all. I was going to wait until the next major thing happened. But, seeing as you so nicely asked, here goes.
It's Monday!....errmm Tuesday.
TOP NEWS:
I realized that last week's update was very under-whelming. What the heck am I doing stuff on my 85 Mage for, when I have so many other toons to get to 85. So, with that, I concentrated on my Draenei Shaman Jewelcrafer (Draenybrit) and my Gnome Warlock Alchemist (Warlybrit). Draenybrit is nearly trough Northrend, having done most of Borean Tundra, a smattering of Dragonblight, Grizzly Hills, and Shol Basin, before going to Icecrown at 77, along with tons of dungeons. Warlybrit is having fun in Western and Eastern Plaguelands.
OTHER STUFF:
Nothing much else. Still doing Fishing and Cooking dailies on my Alliance 85s and will hit 525 Inscription on my Dwarf Rogue later today.
Oh, and the Alliance guild is now 45% towards level 3.

It's Monday!
TOP NEWS:
Draenybrit has finished with Northrend and has now just completed Hyjal and is ready to face Deepholm. Interesting fact. Did you know you could complete all of Hyjal and *not* do the Hatchery quests? I just left them as long as I could and found that I got the quest achieve etc. without doing them. Whoo Hoo. I'll never have to do them again. Draeny's JC is coming along well, and getting tons of Obsidium Ore in Hyjal, prospecting and now have tons of Cata gems. Warlybrit is also getting some love and has now hit one of my favorite zones - Badlands. I can't wait to punch that Dragon.
OTHER STUFF:
Doing a little PvP on Gnomeybrit. Doing fishing and cooking dailies on top 4 toons. Even spent a little time questing on Nightybrit (gosh, Hunters are so easy to level). I even spent about 20 mins on my Horde DK, questing in Zangamarsh. Yuck...went back to Alliance. I will play him again sometime I have time to lots of Dungeon queuing in Outland.
The Alliance guild is now 54% towards level 3.

Ok i stopped reading the responses at page 3 since everyone started listing their toons... :P
My response to your question is simple, WoW is a game and games are made to played and if you like playing the game, then play the game the way you want.
With that said, if you feel you got the time to do what you suggest, no hard feelings dude, but you maybe should get outside sometimes and look at the weather, meet real people, get a job or something.
LOL - I'm 51 and have a good job thank you very much. I play in the evenings and on the weekend.
In fact, if you see the progression from a week ago.
I got Draeny from 78-82, Warly from 41-45, and Nighty from 26-28. Not exactly tons of playing in a week, wouldn't you say?
Cheers.

Ah, it seems to be Monday again.
TOP NEWS:
12 down, and only 8 to go. That's right. Draenybrit made level 85 over the weekend! Funny thing was, without doing any Cata dungeons, I finished the least amount of Twi Highlands to make it to 85. How's that? Well, paying close attention to rested experience, cooking and fishing dailies every day, and 5% from guild I think are what did it. Now just imagine if I had Heirlooms :).
OTHER STUFF:
Doing a little PvP on Gnomeybrit (not going well at the moment in Tol Barad. Alliance has hit a bad patch on Perenolde. We are always attacking and always failing. Horde are very organized with lots and lots of healers). Doing fishing and cooking dailies on top 5 toons. Working on getting Tailoring, Enchanting, and Jewelcrafting to 525. I have Cooking, Fishing, Herbalism, Inscription, and Mining all 525 on Alliance currently. Spent a bit of time on Warlybrit and Nightlybrit. Warlybrit is continuing on after punching Deathwing in the face, and Nightybrit is about to hit Desolace.
The Alliance guild is now 75% towards level 3.

Monday, Monday.......
TOP NEWS:
Warlybrit is now in Outland enjoying doing tons of dungeons. Just did a bit of questing in Zanagamarsh, but is already level 63 and will hit Nagrand soon. I got
Tattered Dreadmist Robe
for him by farming JPs on Gnomeybrit, and it seems to be helping a lot :). BTW, I'll probably hit Shattrath, as I want to get Transmute spec when I hit level 70. Nightybrit is also getting some love, but I've only raised him a few levels.
OTHER STUFF:
Gnomeybrit is having fun in both PvP and PvE. I've been running the Hyjal dailies again, Cata dungeons, and (when I'd run 7) even run 3 Heroics for more JPs and some VPs. I'm going for more JPs so that I can get
Champion's Deathdealer Breastplate
for Nightybrit. Tol Barad and Wintergrasp are still the PvP choices, and we've even managed to take Tol Barad a couple of times this week.Of course, still doing Cooking and Fishing dailies on most of my toons.
The Alliance guild is now 90% towards level 3.

Is it really Monday again? How time flies.
TOP NEWS:
Warlybrit flew though Outland and has been in Northrend since level 68. I must say, that's the fastest I've ever got through Outland, and the least amount of questing. Payed attention to rested, cooking and fishing dailies, dungeons, dungeons and a bit of questing. OMG - I just remembered that I forgot to get transmute spec - I guess I need to go back and get that. Other than that, the Alchemy is coming along fine. I really want to get it to Cata levels, as my JC is accumulating tons of Carnelion, that are just crying out to be Xmuted to Inferno Rubies. BTW: Got
Tattered Dreadmist Mantle
for Warlybrit to give him 20% extra EXP, instead of getting one for my Hunter.
OTHER STUFF:
Gnomeybrit has now completed the Hyjal dailies (all 3 of the 125 Marks required) so is taking a break from them now. Draenybrit continues to do the JC daily, and farm for Obsidium Ore in off hours. She recently did the first few Vashj'ir quests to get the seahorse to try farming there. Also, I'm mulling over whether to get a second account and RAF myself. Not quite prepared to do that yet.
<Brits Ahoy> hit level 3, and is now 11% towards level 4.

A sneak peak at next Monday's update.
<Brits Ahoy> is proud to present it's latest member:
Human Marksmenship Hunter HuntyBrit (Herbing/Mining) level 6.

Well, it's a Holiday, but it still counts as a Monday.
TOP NEWS:
Well, you saw the sneak peak. How did you think an 11th toon can be in the personal guild?
That's right - 2nd Account baby!
I got a second account. The intent is to level up my veteran toons faster and be granted levels. After a bit of figuring out how to run two windows at once on my Mac, it's been a breeze getting Huntybrit and Pallybrit (the one he's been grouped with) to level 25. The only problem has been professions. no time to keep up with Profs as they went from zone to zone. I think I'll just have them come back and power level the profs after they hit 60.
OTHER STUFF:
When I saw the news about the XP nerf for Northrend, I decided to stop playing Warlybrit (72 at the time) and wait for 4.3. So, Nightybrit got the play time. But when I figured out that, with continuing to do the Fishing and Cooking dailies, I would gain 4% of a level each day, it seemed that I would be leveling anyway, and not getting any mats for Alchemy etc. Also, given how big a priority Alchemy is for me (to level my JC), I thought I'd just plough on in Northrend. I don't mind it too much, and with two Heirlooms and lots of dungeons, Warlybrit is now 76 and hasn't had to do a lot of mindless questing.
Gnomeybrit continues with a bit of PvP and dungeons and farming JPs. He got
Champion's Deathdealer Breastplate
for Nightybrit.
<Brits Ahoy> is now 21% towards level 4.

OK - I've had enough.
The mods at wowhead have made it perfectly clear that General Discussion is for discussion of topics and not for personal blogs:
"Forums like this are places for discussion amongst peers."
As this thread is now nothing more than my own personal blog, I'm self-modding it and closing it down.
CYA.

GOOD NEWS EVERYONE! (with apologies to Prof. Putricide).
Well, we said it would be crazy, and it was crazy. But crazy is as crazy does, and I'm certifiably crazy.
I dinged 85 on my Goblin DK last night, meaning that I have now completed my mega-quest to have 20 level 85s (10 Alliance and 10 Horde, 1 of each class per faction).
Here's where I was back in April:
Horde: 85, 85, 85, 85, 85, 85, 85, 83, 66, 60
Alliance: 12, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
and here's where I am now:
Horde: 85, 85, 85, 85, 85, 85, 85, 85, 85, 85
Alliance: 85, 85, 85, 85, 85, 85, 85, 85, 85, 85
Phew!
The real boost came back in September when I got a second account. I choose two Alliance pairs to level using 3xXP (Vet Priest/New Mage, Vet Hunter/New Hunter). They zoomed to level 80. I then granted 18-20 levels to four other toons to stop them having to level through Outland and Northrend.
Leveling in pairs was alright, but I'm glad I'm not doing it any more. Having two windows open with one toon on /folllow was OK, but follow gets broken every now and then, and I frequently had to switch between them to gather for quests etc. The good quests were Kill X or activate something, because those would apply to both toons. The bad ones were the Collect Y ones. You had to do for one toon and then the other.
So, getting all the Alliance to 85 was great, and I didn't only do that, I was gearing up some toons, and even ran LFR on my Shammy. Grinding out that last Horde one was a real pain though. The change to Outland and Northrend was much appreciated though, especially the having quests at the beginning of dungeons.
I would have been complete by the end of last year, but then.............SWTOR happened. I got SWTOR for Christmas, and have been playing that a lot more than WoW. This made getting that last toon to 85 drag on and on.
Anyway, here they are in all their glory:
Frost Mage (Tailoring/Enchanting) - Troll (85)- Trollbrit /Gnome (85) - Gnomeybrit
Combat Rogue (Herbing/Inscription) - Goblin (85) - Gobbybrit/Dwarf (85) - Dwarfybrit
Ele Shaman (Mining/Jewlcrafting) - Orc (85) - Shammybrit/*Draenei (85) - Draenybrit
Afflic Warlock (Herbing/Alchemy) - Undead (85) - Lockybrit/*Gnome (85) - Warlybrit
BM Hunter (Skinning/Leatherworking) - Tauren (85) - Bmbrit/*Night Elf (85) - Nightybrit
Arms Warrior (Mining/Blacksmithing) - Orc (85) - Lankybrit /Worgen (85) - Warriorbrit
Ret Paladin (Mining/Engineering) - Blood Elf (85) - Palabrit /Human (85) - Pallybrit
Balance Druid (Herbing/Skinning) - Tauren (85) - Boomybrit/Worgen (85) - Worgybrit
Shadow Priest (Mining/Skinning) - Goblin (85) - Priestybrit/*Night Elf (85) - Shadowbrit
Frost DK (Mining/Herbalism) - *Goblin (85)- Frostybrit/Human (85) - Manlybrit
You can see them all online here:
http://us.battle.net/wow/en/guild/nordrassil/Brits%20United/
http://us.battle.net/wow/en/guild/perenolde/Brits%20Ahoy/
BTW: The Alliance guild made it to level 7!
Mods: Apologies for the necro, but I hope you can understand why. I hope you just let this thread work it's way down the forums naturally.
With that being said everyone, I think I'm pretty burnt out on WoW now. I find myself playing more and more SWTOR and less and less WoW. I probably will continue to keep one account (annual pass), but I think I'll quit the second one, and we'll see how things go.
That's it. What a journey!
Cheers.

I considered doing this myself a couple of years ago (
opening a second RAF account
), but decided against it; not because of the inconvenience, but because I realised I wasn't in any rush to get characters to the endgame. It's the aspect of progressing a character through new abilities, new talents, new profession receipes, that I find addictive and fun - more so than the raiding and gear grind at the level cap. So I figured "Why hurry?". :)
I would have been complete by the end of last year, but then.............SWTOR happened. I got SWTOR for Christmas, and have been playing that a lot more than WoW. This made getting that last toon to 85 drag on and on.
I'm looking forward to trying TOR when it's released in New Zealand later this year. It seems like it'll be well-suited to an obsessive leveller of alts such as you or I, with its varied class stories and companions.
Anyway, here they are in all their glory:
Congratulations on achieving your objective, for what it's worth. :)
I have my ten Horde classes at level 85 on Sisters of Elune (US), but my Alliance characters are scattered across four different servers, and I'm dubious about whether I'll ever get them to the cap. Maybe in Mists of Pandaria!
All the best in your new Star Wars game.
