Same class? I find controlling 2 different classes at once can be a bit taxing at times :eek:.

I am trying a 1 Paladin/4 Hunter team at the moment, easiest to play by far is a priest/warlock group and an all shaman group is very popular at the moment.

Last question:
I have 1 WoW box installed (with BC). Would I have to buy a new box and install it along with buying a new account or can I just buy another account for $15 and play both from my first install?

WTF? You play 4 WoW accounts at once? Something is wrong with you

Unless something has changed since I played (and it's possible) don't you still need a new copy of WoW and a new copy of BC for the new account?

You can play 2 accounts from the same WoW/BC install. As far as obtaining the 2nd account, you'd still need to buy another WoW retail and the expansion.

Just get MMOglider; I used that to take my 2nd warlock to 70 (undead; first was alli). If you are careful and create your own profiles and configure the program correctly and don't use other peoples' and don't afk glide, you'll be fine.
