Hi,
I'm looking into getting my wife to play wow with me.
I have a whole bunch of toons, and rather than level from scratch, I'd rather give her one of mine.
I have wotlk, and I need another account that has wotlk to transfer one of the toons to.
Found something called "World of Warcraft Battlechest " for around 40 dollars, but that doesn't have WoTLK, which is another 40. The transfer of 1 toon seems $25.
So does it mean I have to fork over $105? or is there a cheaper way to get this accomplished.
Thank you.

Thats the cheapest way.
Also make sure you register the new account in the same name as the account you want to transfer the toons from. I made this mistake with my wife's account. Registered it in her name, and blizzard wouldnt let me xfer a toon from my account to hers even though were married.

Technically, spouses aren't supposed to share accounts. The only two people who are allowed to access an account is the account holder, and one minor child whom the account holder is the parent or legal guardian of.

I was looking into it more, and it looks like blizzard said it's perfectly fine to invite yourself as a friend (refer a friend). Than if that new account is created with same name (first and last), you can transfer toons and get the benefit of refer a friend. The benefit being free month for both accounts, I believe.
Has anyone tried it?
I'm not sure what the downside to starting at 80 is, it's not like you can learn how to heal at level 1, and 51'st talent isn't even available until level 60... And since most those talents are not passive (I'm planning on giving pally to wife), there's a difference between healing at 59 and 60 just because of it. (I actually put it on my self in nexus, and than I had to only heal 4 people, never had to look at my health :))
