    God, if the troll warrior animations had them standing upright and not all hunched over/retarded looking, I'd definantly be a troll over an orc. But.. at this moment, orc animations > troll animations.

    Meh, I hate WoW with a passion. I got a mage to level 60, and after a week of doing instances over and over and over, I realised that the only reason WoW seems so kickass at the beginning is because of the visuals.

    There's so many things broken with it now, it's just not worth playing IMO. Maybe in a year when they have sorted things out a bit.

    I can't stop playing WoW, but because I have a 60 mage. Granted the fun level of the mage drops off a lot once you hit 60. But he is great tohave around whenever I feel the need to purge STV of any hordlets so my alts can have a fun time.

    so ill go down tommorrow before work and pick it up
    Can i ask would a pvp server be best? can i still do all stuff like killing monsters but also do pvp if i wish?

    Also can some one recommend a server with low populaation?

    Thanks again see you soon!
    Also i think wow is one of the try for your self things tbh

    Edit is allience a good side for a newb or horde? (not really too bothered)
    And would druid be good (changing to animals etc.) or that class that can take over whats a good newb class?

    both sides and all classes are pretty straightforward... warlock takes some getting used to, and druid was always underpowered - I dunno if that changed. just play what sounds most fun to you.

    female orc warlock ftw!

    edit: if you're on a pvp server, there are more alliance than horde on almost every server, so horde get picked on a bit more than alliance... but it ups the challenge. ;P

    That all depends.

    Basically, a pvp server makes sure that high-level members of the opposite faction will murder you for fun if they find you anywhere that isn't faction-specific territory (basically, the capitol cities for the eight different races and the areas immediately surrounding them are faction territory, meaning that for instance, an alliance character can't walk into horde territory and kill everybody without first being attacked by a horde character. And even then, they can only kill that character that attacked them - I guess it eliminates the notion of camping the new player areas). Everywhere else is contested territory, which means that anything goes. For that reason, it's best to stay out of there until you're well on your way.

    On a non PvP server, contested land acts just like faction territory, only in order to fight other players you need to first activate your PvP flag (type /pvp in the chat) and then find another player who's done the same. All other aspects of the game are basically the same. Non PvP servers are really just for folks who don't want to worry about being attacked unless they're good and ready. Myself, I think it takes half the atmosphere out of the game.

    Unless they've changed the Barrens since I played the game (if you make a horde character, you will be very familiar with the barrens), Horde players generally run everywhere. Alliance players have fast transportation available every ten steps. And then there's the fact that there are like six times the amount of Alliance guard NPCs (they patrol the towns and attack bad guys on sight) as there are horde NPCs. The Alliance is probably better for a newer player, mainly because your hand is held everywhere you go. The Horde is only for manly men and people who get kicks out of pain.

    Last, my very first character was a tauren (horde) druid. Thing about druids is that they can do a little bit of everything, but they can't do anything especially well. Druids are fun bu're not theyt so great at, oh, killing stuff. Often you'll find yourself just healing party members because they probably do way more damage than you do. Still, if you want to have fun and be part of a minority of players, go druid!


    edit: Jesus, that got really long.

    If I were you, I'd go horde on a pvp server. I sorta regret going alliance. The developers have made Shaman a much more viable and deadly force out on the field than a paladin could ever be. Horde racial abilties are also geared towards PvP, while alliance is more geared toward PvE.

    The horde seem to win a lot in the battlegrounds on average - all the cocky horde players love to think it is them - but fail to see the match up of alliance vs horde. I'll do a quick summary of the agruments. First off, the horde get the following racial traits: Warstomp, Will of the Forsaken, and Battle Toughness (or something) Trolls get some useless crap. Warstomp (tauren) is a 2 second (I think?) stun that has something like a 5 foot radius. It's basically enough to take a rogue out of stealth, or stop any casting. Very, VERY nice ability. Will of the Forsaken (undead) is a 20 second (I think a patch reduced to 5 second - about time) resistance to fear. Fear makes you run away uncontrollably, and even if you take damage, you're still under the effect of fear. How horde players thought they were the cream of the crop when they could walk around with 20 seconds (very long time) of fear immunity is far beyond me. Battle Toughness (orcs) is probably the best racial trait in the game. Although it was broken for a long time, now that it is fixed - it grants orcs a 25% base chance to resist all stuns. Since I was a rogue I relied on stuns to kill people - there is nothing more annoying than watching 8 stuns get resisted in a row (happened a lot actually.. about 3 times a day for me) because of the orcs racial.

    The Alliance on the other hand has more PvE oriented racials. Perception, Escape Artist, Stoneform, and Shadowmeld. Perception is the human ability - it increases their stealth detection. Although this has it's uses in PvP - the major flaw is that the player has to know that an emeny is stealthed around him to use it. Also - on rogues with 5/5 talent points in MoD I've seen it not detect horde rogues. Escape Artist is the gnome ability - it is a 1 second spell cast that removes movement stopping (roots, etc) once they are casted on you. If this was instant, I would love it, but the 1 second cast time (taking damage incrases cast time - so if you're rooted and taking damage you'll never get it off) ruins it. Stoneform removes all posions effects, increases armor by 5% and makes you slower. Good against rogues, that's about it. Shadowmeld - the night elf - is just silly. It allows a NE player to stealth, if he does nt move or attack. 50% of the NE classes can already stealth. The only real use I've ever see for this is when a NE hunter goes into shadowmeld and gets off an aim shot before anyone knows where he is. Usefull, but very situational - unlike the horde abilites.

    I'm going on a rant, and there is the Shaman vs Pally matchup. I will not even go into that one. Any shaman who has common sense agrees that pallys are horrible compared to shamans.


    So yeah - if you like PvP go horde.

    *holy crap that's long*

    Im playing 2 chars concurrently.

    Huxley: Dwarf Hunter (miner/engineer) - Stormreaver(Euro)

    Sekhemet: Undead Priest (tailor/enchanter) - Twilight's Hammer(Euro)

    Switching between two diverse charactors keeps either from becomming boring. Its also useful to know how different classes operate when you doing group quests.

    There isnt any of the horde vs ally bs for me, since i play both <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    QFT.

    Edit: By the way, warriors have a talent that increases stun resistance; an orc warrior can get up to 40% stun resist with this talent. That's just absurd.

    That is probably what I was facing the very first day their racial got fixed. I counted - 12 stuns (cheap shot, kidney shot, gouge) were resisted *yes, resisted, not missed or blocked or some crap* in a row. It was a game of WSG so I went against the same guy for about 20 mins or so - and my 13th try to stun I hit him with a gouge.

    Because, rogues should be awesome against every other class right?

    No class should have a passive resist rate that high. Period. Lots of abilities and procs have only 10% - 20% chances to stun, and a resist rate that high makes them almost useless. WoW is not a game of hard counters, and orc warrior stun resists is about as close to a hard counter as it gets in this game.

    PvP servers are just silly nowadays. If you want to run for your corpse a few times every hour, then by all means, join a PvP server.

    I've got a 45 Tauren Warrior on Skywall (PvE, <i>awesome</i> server, most people are very nice and mature) and I love it. I don't play too often (just don't have the time), but a friend of mine has a very similar schedule to me, and we duo pretty often, which makes grinding bearable. However, if you do a healthy amount of quests, and run instances thouroughly, you can really cut down the amount of time you have to spend grinding.

    Horde.
    Ragnaros server. (low lag but 1/2 full of swedes/danes,but most talk english)
    Lvl 30 shaman. (pick shaman if you want the 'overpowered' class that is the shaman)
    Shammius.
    If you want to join that server I'll come along and help you,as I'd be glad to. I'm currently levelling my gnome warrior on Daggerspine anyway. (that server has some problems!)

    Or if you choose to become Alliance on Ragnaros I'll come and help anyway,you can kill me for a laugh. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Otherwise,you should pick one of the big high-pop servers cause if you got a good PC and RAM you'll deal with the lag just fine (1.5gb RAM recommended) and have more ppl; a plus and a minus.

    I'm playing a Shaman right now. Most people consider them to be overpowered, but that isn't really true. They're generally good against every class in PvP but there isn't really no class they just automatically win against, except maybe the weaker classes that are obviously flawed in PvP situations like Warlocks and Hunters. They're not the kings of the hill they're just very efficient in a lot of situations. While other classes just plain suck in some and are great in others. For example, a frost mage can simply destroy a warrior, but when that mage (or any mage for that matter) comes up against a demonology warlock with a felhunter out, that mage is taking a very painful tour of smackdown city.
