Having just started up a Paladin on one account (Caderin) and an Armsman on the other (Macbastard) I would echo Woogy's sentiments on forming an alb guild.
Having finally got both a LGM alchemist and spell crafter on Mid/Excal, with a WC well on the way, I am not inclined to go through it all again, even though without TOA it is the way to go, and wil stil spend most of my time playing Mid.
Other than revisiting the novelty of gaining xp and going up levels, playing Alb (or Hib) is an education for fighting in RvR, as I now have a better idea of just what classes they are that I am fighting, and what they can do. If only for this reason I will probably have lots of lowbie characters to see how the classes function, what they look like etc etc.
