Pretty sweet RPG so far, only a couple of hours in. Haven't quite seen why so many people have been fapping like porn monkeys over it yet but have been told by plenty you are no-where near scratching the surface of it yet (which I can believe by the sheer size of it so far).
Chose to be a Dwarf in the end, a Warrior Dwraf with possibly the ugliest face ever. Kicks ass in battle, spent ages at the opening of Dragonmaw fighting the wolves and troggs to level up a bit. One thing that is decent is that everyone who I have come across so far has been pretty helpful and not even slightly c*ck faced.
Interface is sweet, the layout was easy enough to get to grips with after the initial "this is just one area, wtf?!". The environments make Lisa Riley's mu*f saddle looking like a toddler's paddling pool.
Controls are easy, the magic areas aren't even slightly geeky from what I have come across so far, just drag it onto the bar and click it when you need it. Haven't really bought much yet but that too seems simple enough to use and from what I gather it nails other MMORPG's for its less geeky approach. For a first time MMORPG'er' I have founs it fack easy to get into and nothing like what I expected (only in a good way though).
Visually it is sweet, the soundtrack is awesome, the presentation is spot on etc etc *fap fap*
Wish I didn't have work tomorrow but life's a b*tch!
The whole NE does.
IF/Stormwind is where it's at.
And Mulgore, as the plains are gorgeous.

Great place to get XP though, with another person I can see a lot of the quests being relatively easy.

Im in Darkshore now ready to start the quests, i did some before on my last character. Lots of leveling up to be done there.
Dwarfs look too small and fat, Humans have the lamest hair cuts and I'm not going to even mention the other type, Ha!
Night Elf's are pretty sweet all round though.
Too purple, gave me a sore head.
Look forward to some group quests though to make up for the insanely dull Amen Arath section of Darkshore :)
Just run like a nutter to IF then you can do the better quests from loch modan and westfield.
I think I prefer Elwynn Forest - everything's so close and I do have a lot of experience of it from the Beta.
I tell you what - instead of creating a Human Priest or Dwarf Hunter, I'll go Night Elf again, deciding between Priest/Hunter when I get there :D
Then we can group up for a bit
You will probably be past level 7 by the time I get in, want to crack on with Teldrassil before I decide to dive head first into the knife draw in the hope of removing the amazing frequency of Deja Vu - "haven't I seen this around 10 times before" :D
Darkshore is where it gets interesting but by that time the facial hair was becoming an annoyance. Had a shave though so I DEFINITLEY 110% won't be starting again. You have permission to execute me if the idea crosses my mind.
