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!

Shadow Priests can pwn pretty much everything with ease, except UD Rogues. I'm about to wipe all my crappy characters and stick with 2 Alliance, 2 Horde. A new Priest will be my second Alliance.

So true...
The main problem for me at the moment is the size. I have quests in Ashenvale, Stormwind, Arathi Highlands, Sranglethorn (about 8!), Gnomeregan, Wetlands and the Alterac mountains.
Coupled with the lag, I've hit a bit of a block, so I'm mainly using my skills and AH to get money and decent equipment.

But it's really at the later levels where classes seperate more.
Mages: +1 range -1 close
Rogues: -1 range +1 close
:O
But hunters seem to be the most powerful class, as they are excellent in attack and defence, while priests also appeal for the same reason - only they 're sh*te at the earlier levels...

Um, there's a really really massive difference beteen the three..
