The Fifth Elemenr (err Account)

So yeah, with this new Refer-A-Friend's 3x exp bonus, and Zehvra mount, I just have to get my 5th account last Friday.

I bought the Battlechest in Best Buy, and then the 60-day game card in Circuit City.

The exp bonus was so uber that I got an Undead Mage Sanctuaxi, and Undead Warlock Sanctumon to level 41 and about to start in Blackrock Depth (BRD) within 7 hours and 50 minutes.

By Sunday morning, I started 2 more Tauren Shamans: Sanctumes and Sanctumeu who are level 40 in 7 hours 15 minutes.

After work Monday night, I only had time to do my Arena games. It is good week as I actually got 1557 when I played my Prot Paladin and 3 Shamans with a guildie who runs an Elemental Shaman--so I got my Season 4 Legs and went farming some motes of mana.

On Tuesday night, I worked on getting a Druid from 38 to 40, and then buying mounts, and so the 2 Shamans' Fire, Water and Air totem quests. I'm still on my way to Taren Mills part of the totem quest.

So my next goal is to hit BRD from 40 to 45, then Lower Blackrock Spires (LBRS) from 45 to 50.
I think at 50, I will do the Cauldron quest, and hit Scholomance and Stratholmes from 55 to 60.

I will then Gift Level Ups to the remaining lowbies.

3 Months to WotLK

I have 4 account.
#1 expires in 9.3.08
#2 expires in 9.4.08
#3 expires in 8.19.08
#4 expires in 8.16.08

Each is on a monthly for $14.99. So that's $59.96 / month, or $719.52 / year.
If I get a 5th account, this would make it $74.95 / month, or $899.40 / year.

Plan 1.
I wonder if I stop playing now, and then renew when WotLK comes.
I would save, 2 months for each @ 14.99 x 8 = $119.92.
And when WotLK arrives in November, I will be buying 4 copies @ $40 each, so that's $160.

Plan 2.
What if I buy a 5th account now, using Refer-A-Friend. $30 for TBC + $30 2 months would cover August to November. Saving 30 days of $14.99 subscription. Net expense is $45.
And then I cancel Account 1 & 2; leaving me with Account 3, 4 and 5.

I can the user the Refer-A-Friend boosted exp to level up new character in the 5th account.
And using Account 3 to power level 4 & 5 lowbies.

Plan 3.
I can cancel Account 2. RAF 4 with new Account 5, RAF 3 with Account 6. Using Account 1 to Boost Level 3, 4, 5, and 6.
The cost will be August to November:
1. $41.97 - 3 months
2. $0 - cancelled
3. $29.98 - 3 months + 1 free RAF month
4. $29.98 - 3 months + 1 free RAF month
5. $59.98 - 2 months + 1 free new month + Battle Chest
6. $49.98 - 2 months + 1 free new month + Classic Set only
Net: $211.89 for 3 months. ($44.01 for 2 Zhevra)
Am I really going to have 5 accounts?

Plan 4.
Do nothing different.
Pay for 4 accounts monthy: $14.99 x 4 x 3 = $179.88
Pay for 4 accounts 3-months: $41.97 x 4 = $167.88 (Save $12)
