I think my plan for launch is to party up, do the first quest so I can get level 2 and get MOTW for the +armor and then immediately run out of the starter zone and just grind the level 5s until I can do the level 5 quests.. cause by the looks of the stress test uh, you're gonna be spending about 3 hours trying to get out of the first area lol

There's an item reclamation service that's automated, I wonder if they have character reclamation

Getting 10 copper for rank 1 motw isn't that difficult, should be fine.
They do have character reclamation though! You can restore one every.. 2 weeks? months? I can't remember. If you look on the character select screen there's a button to restore character somewhere on there. You just have to be on the appropriate server that you were on.

Mine was locked for years, I got it unlocked after sending Blizz my whole lifes story, tax returns for 10 yrs, IRA accounts, pictues of passports and dr license...etc...But god damnit I wanted my oldschool acct back! When I finally subbed last weekend for beta hype, I logged on and all my chars were still there on my old Arthas server but all nekkid, except for my 80 huntard which had full epic gears(which I never got) and bags and bags full of mats.

lol pretty much. I beta tested the game before it had mailboxes, undead could speak to alliance, druids could feign death, you could run around as a ghost inside dungeons, and mages could cast pyroblast while invis and 1 shot pretty much all the classes in the game.

I sold my account in like... late 2005. Yay 1 binding and almost full Might. Turns out the guy who bought it was a tard and managed to get himself banned. So he quit his CC on the account and ignored emails. A friend who was playing at the time said "Hey, I think this guy got banned forever. Get your battle.net account back and fuck wow."
So I sent a single email, saying "Hey, I sold this account on playerauctions, guy was dumb and said some racist shit in chat(literally, I had old guildies ask me if I hated black people or something when I hadn't played in months). Wasn't me, he can never get this back... do you care if I have it back? I have some Diablo 2 characters I would like to continue playing."
No lie; the account was restored to me within like 20 minutes, full privileges and a month of game time added. The guy I sold it to? Literally never contacted me again, and since he had only logged on like twice to get wrecked in BGs, seemed like he didn't give a fuck.
Still have the account; it isn't my main anymore, but it is a great reminder that people will spend hundreds of dollars ( I sold cheap =/) for absolutely any advantage.... even if imaginary in the greater scheme of things. The internet is weird.

You may want to look into exploration routes, depending on just how crowded the starting areas are it can be worthwhile for some races if there’s no dynamic respawns and less frustrating than losing a bunch of mob tags in a row. Although honestly if you have your name reserved, create your guy the instant the servers come up, and immediately start killing, you can generally be ahead of the pack and stay there. Killing 5s at level 2 is shitty exp due to how much longer they will take you to kill for a pretty minor increase in exp compared to level 1-3 stuff.
After so many private servers over the years, I’ve switched tactics and instead have some tricks to make several gold within 15 minutes of the servers coming up and generally focus more on having lots of money while I level to take advantage of the fresh economy.
