New to WOW

I bought my first month about a month ago.

Advice:

Choose a pvp server vs a normal one. That aspect of WoW is great.

Rogue is fine and easy to start with. Don't be afraid to run dungeons. They are quick and painless with all the experienced players and is where you get better gear.

Level up herbalism for great money.

Download the armory app.

While I'm here I'd like to know how many on TD still play? I'd be interested in joining a server.

Rogue is a good choice, I've leveled one but they aren't really my style.

It's not just questing until cap. You can run dungeons, PvP, etc for experience. I wouldn't do one thing to level cap.. It might get boring.

Advice? Join a guild or find some friends you like to play with. I can only play so much by myself. If you decide to buy the game up to current expansion, you will get a free max level boost. I wouldn't do that until you leveled your first character through it to make sure you know what your doing.

Addons? I would say a Skada Damage Meter or Recount meter are "must haves." They give you an idea on how well you are doing. Bag management addon like Bagnon would helpful. Deadly Boss Mods for group content. Map addons are nice, especially when you get higher up and can find things for experience.

Ultimately WoW is a game where it really gets fun at max level where you can gear up to Raid or PvP. If you really want to give the game a chance get there before making any judgements.

Questing is probably the least efficient way to get XP, but it's a good time killer in between DPS queues.

Thanks for the info.

I like pvp but choose a normal server so I could learn the game without worrying about getting ganked by another player. I have heard of some websites to check alliance/hord population www.realmpop.com

Cant you still PVP on a normal server?

I'll check out those Addons.

The server I choose was when I sorted by population, I picked the one below "Area 52", just because. I wanted to make sure the population was high so I wouldn't feel lonely in game, and had people to potentially play wow with.

I've found questing between queues is good. If you run dungeons as a DPS, make sure you don't run the same dungeon after you've completed the quest. Queue for individual dungeons instead of the random unless you want the satchel for gear.

---

So the best way to level up is to do dungeons? Can I do that at level 7? I'm not sure what you mean by satchel gear?

Think you have to be 10 to get in queue for dungeon

You can toggle pvp on and off on a pvp server from my understanding

I haven't played on a PVP server since 2011, but I don't remember this being the case. I know for a fact that some cross faction zones like daily quest hubs force enable PVP

I'm glad you gave it a shot.
The thing that keeps me playing are friends/family


After my wife saw movie she wanted to try it out too.
We are leveling slow and reading the quest text and overall just not rushing on her first character. She picked a rogue too.

I'd echo joining a guild as well.

I know you mentioned feeling alone while questing but you should know that blizzard combines servers for their leveling zones to make them populated. Also you should know that you can play with anyone so long as they are the same faction as you. Just have hem send you a group invite .

If you list your faction and your character or whatever is be happy to level with you or at least be there to answer questions while in game

I'm Alliance.
Char name is: RajinKajin
Realm: Dalaran

But I'm still so low level, I could easily roll a new character on any server.
