Servers are down for maintenance... will today be the day of the 3.1 patch I wonder?

Probably not... They would have pushed the game patch via the update server by now. The last week (or 2?) they sent the content update, so they're at least done with that part. :)

(I could be wrong, but that's generally how they do it.)

Hey people,

So I've never played WoW before. Tempted to finally get round to trying it out (I'm also new to MMORPGS in general).

Created a 10 day trial account and have downloaded and installed the client.

Haven't been able to login or anything yet as it's downloading the latest patch.

None of my mates play WoW, so I'll end up being a bit of a loner on here to begin with, so was wondering whether anyone can recommend which servers are good? I gather that seeing as I'm new to WoW, I'd be better off picking a PvE realm for now atleast to prevent me from being ganked.

I was going to roll a Gnome Rogue, but don't know really.

Any recommendations for what I should do/class/race etc would be appreciated.

I was a loner when I started, till I was about lvl 15 and I found a guild to join. It's a tonne more fun if you're in a guild, and it doesn't need to be full of people you know IRL. You'll find something eventually, no matter the server.

I've leveled 2 characters to 80, 2 more stopped at 70. While getting ganked isn't the end of the world and it doesn't happen a lot, it does get really annoying when you can't do anything about it.

Now that PVE servers allow transfer to PVP servers there's no reason not to level on a PVE server if it's your first account.

I was going to roll a Gnome Rogue, but don't know really.

Until you're playing at the very high end (which 99% of people never will) the differences between classes races are so trivial that it isn't worth worrying about. On the off chance that you do end up playing at that level, and that you make the 'wrong' choice now, you can re-roll in no time at all.

When you're at that level picking the wrong class/race is almost less of a problem than picking the wrong professions.

Any recommendations for what I should do/class/race etc would be appreciated.

The ones you think look prettiest form the back: you'll be staring at the rear end for a long time.

I'm really tempted to transfer my mage over to Quel'dorei. Not having bags or gold is the worst feeling ever.

Thanks for the info guys/gals.

Initially I was going to choose a NElf rogue, thinking that they look pretty cool; and the extra agility is beneficial to the class, but choose Gnome when it came to it as if I get into PvP (which is indeed a possibility, battlegrounds etc) then I gather the small size and escape artist will be very advantaegous.

Also, I think they have the best mounts :p

Only negative I've found so far is that when running, looking at my Gnome from behind his body sticks out through the cape; but that's only a minor niggle :p

I can probably hide the cape from view whislt still keeping stats anyway.

Hopefully get level 10 tonight.

:)
