Different branch of the topic, new reply.

What CAN be done? Well I know it was possible to reroll in August and hit Sunwell with the big kids. If it's just one or two people, the opportunity is much greater- we've had a few later rerolls with much shorter turn around time.

As a full raid group though? It does take time to gear. Expect to spend 3-4 weeks after killing Illidan getting people out of most of their last blues and T4 before you can even contemplate the gear check of Brut. They're practically throwing gear at players now, but you do have to reach a basic threshold of it to progress. Badges take time to earn, especially if you're doing a full gear up from them with a fresh 70.

Perhaps the most important part of a full reroll is a group of people actually interested in it with sufficient leaders/good players/class balance to manage. That's a lot harder than it sounds. Starting over from nothing can be pretty heartbreaking. I still miss a lot of stuff on my old server (it's not transferable- PvE Alliance to PvP Horde) and it can be really rough to stick with it if there's an easier way via transferring or finding a new guild on your old character.

A fresh restart group utterly dedicated? I'd expect you to finish Sunwell before WotLK. Anything short of that dedication (or in our case extreme luck) though and you get a fizzle.
