So as part of my effort to organise the chaos that is my gaming life, I’ve decided to write down my “system”. Nothing like trying to explain it in simple English to see if something is going right or needs to be improved.
Accounts
I run two accounts. For someone with two left thumbs, this is no mean feat! I run one account on my desktop (what I consider my “main” account) and the other on my laptop.
Servers
As I mentioned before, I am now on two servers: Proudmoore and Khaz’goroth. The economies of both servers are different enough that even a noob like me can notice it; I can’t quite put the finger on what these differences are yet, but hopefully in the coming weeks I will figure it out.
Add-ons
I use Auctioneer on both accounts, and have Sparkies Lil’ Workshop and Skillet on my main account. I don’t really use them much due to familiarity issues. Auctioneer scans typically run for 12-15 mins on my desktop and 20-30 mins on my laptop. Not optimal at all, since by the time the scan ends, and I run the “Vendor” and “Resale” options, some of the (cheap) items are already snapped up by others.
Proudmoore Horde
I created a guild for my Horde toons, to make use of the guild bank features and make transfer of mats easier. My stable of Hordies include: The Bank Alt (Guild Master), an Alchemist/Tailor, a Jewelcrafter/Miner, a Leatherworker/Skinner, an Enchanter/Tailor (but in a different guild) and 6 bank toons. Of the 6, I am leveling one to be a Herbalist/Inscriber (a bit late, since Cataclysm might kill the inscription market), and one is a Neutral AH banker.
Proudmoore Alliance toons
My Proudmoore Alliance toons have no guild yet, although I am considering creating one, as I start stocking up on cheaper mats from the Alliance. Of course, I could just do the cross over sales to my Horde toons.
Khaz’goroth Horde
I’ve no level 80s here, so I created two 2 DKs right off the bat, and by the time they were done with the starting quests, I had about 70g in the bank (from both toons). With this starter capital, I created a bank toon, a Skinner/Leatherworker, an Enchanter/Tailor and a Neutral AH banker. On my second account, I have a Herbalist/Alchemist and a Miner/Jewelcrafter. I deleted the DK on the second account, and resurrected her as Alliance to start off my AH base there.
Along the way, I also picked up a guild that someone was getting rid of, for 50g. It had no tabs, but saved me the hassle of looking for signatures for the guild charter. My ticket to change the name of the guild was efficiently process, and as of 10th Aug 2010, the guild “Naturally Selected” was formed 
.
Khaz’goroth Alliance
So far, I’ve only set up a DK as my main banking toon on Alliance. I’ll have to get a toon to e Neutral AH so that the cross faction fun can begin! 
In future posts I will outline the strategies I am comfortable with for mining the AH, and also on how I level the professions for my Khaz’goroth toons.
Thanks for reading!
