So. I'm gonna try a slightly easier version of this. The standard ruleset is as follows:

Level from 1-85 using the rules below.

-Only White or Grey gear. No Heirlooms of any kind.
-No transfer of gear, items, or money from any other character (yours or others).
-No gear enhancements, including gems, enchanting, and reforging. Class abilities are allowed (eg. Rogue poisons, Shaman imbues).
-No specialization, talent points, or glyphs. No pet talent points.
-No professions or secondary skills, except for First Aid.
-No potions, flasks, or elixirs except for required quest items.
-No food buffs or other external buffs (including buffs from items and other players).
-No groups or assistance from other characters, even if not grouped.
-No dungeons, raids, battlegrounds, or arenas.
-No guilds, except for level 1 guilds created specifically for the Ironman Challenge.
-No Refer-A-Friend.
-No addons which assist in combat and/or leveling (eg. leveling guides, Ovale).
-THE BIG ONE: No deaths. Character death for any reason disqualifies the character

The following are allowed:

-All class abilities, racials, and personal buffs.
-All mounts, bags, and non-combat pets.
-All quests, including holiday events and dailies (unless prohibited by some other rule, eg. Fishing and Cooking dailies).

For the challenge that I'm going to do will have one rule modification.

-Quest rewards can be used. Still no heirlooms.

If anyone wants to join me, I have something set up on Darrowmere, Horde side. You can either message Jaannaa or Kirikai on that server. Obviously for us, this is all on the honour system.

That is interesting...it would be nice if there was a title that you could achieve with it.

Very intriguing but I know I would never make it; I'd wimp out before 85.

I think it's difficult but easily doable with my slight rule change. You should try it :)

Hell, most of my gear now is grey or white...won't be any different.
