Question: As an avid gamer, I have yet to experience WoW, mainly because I have always been strictly a console gamer. After having numerous recommendations from my friends, and, admittedly, after seeing the recent WoW South Park episode, I am beginning to grow intrigued. Can somebody direct me to a decent FAQ site, or answer some questions I have? I might just have to get this game. Would a console gamer, like me, enjoy an MMORPG like WoW?

Just get this game... its absolutely incredible. I've always been a console gamer, SNES/N64 and Xbox... but this game is just amazing. You run around through this absolutely HUGE world and fight monsters, gain higher levels and armor.. and eventually you do PvP with tons of other gamers... and do huge raids and stuff. Just trust me, you will love this game

WoW is pretty much perfect for a beginner, it's very 'newbie' friendly, easy to learn, difficult to master. I'd say go for it, definately, especially since the recent price drop (It's only $20 now, first month of play is free).
The only things you should consider is 1) The game can be very addicting, I dunno if you have an addictive personality or not, but the game can slowly take over your life if you let it. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, mind you, it's like this because the game is so much fun. 2) There is a monthly fee, 15 bucks a month or so, a little less if you get a longer plan. Some people just aren't fond of having to pay monthly, though it's worth it if you put it into perspective and if you play a lot.
www.worldofwarcraft.com is a good place to go for info on the game.

Viewing in mind this is a thread that dedicated to WoW, its only as amazing as it seems when your into it, when you come out the other side, you can say its really overrated, its just addictive
Having said that, WoW features things that no other games have yet to do, its gentely eases you into the game, so its perfect for people who are experementing with games. Its fantastic place to meet new people. Its inspires teamwork and tactics. PvP is incredible, and can get very vicous (good way) Trade skills are simple yet very useful, it pays to be a nice person too. The world is build so that you have huge amounts of land to explore, although this does mean to could take some time to get somewhere far away
On the whole, i'd give it bout 94% as a game, and i would reccomend it

none of them are hard, but i will say this, what class you first play as will be the class you'l be used to for most of your time on WoW, so if you ike combat more than magic or vice versa, or atleast i found

I'd suggest a Warrior, Rogue or a Mage for starters, both are pretty straightforward. But none of the classes are particularly difficult. Just read about the classes on the webpage and decide through that.
Hunters are far easier than rogues.
Rogues require at least a little finesse, hunters can sustain almost 200DPS in raids just with auto-shot (provided they have the right gear) and are generally an extremely easy class to play. Name one other class than can kick your ass in ranged combat, ad then put up a great fight in melee combat, and even win some melee encounters?
Hunters. The most overpowered class there is.
he said very often, at least in my former pvp group that was all teh rogues needed to do at least when it was fights they needed to stun aget combos and get teh good hits, its pretty simple if your other team mates are doing what they should the dps is pretty straight forward, and in raids rogues are Zzzzz... well all classes are pretty much besides the warrior imho, raiding is to reliant on the others so your task is minimized to a little part which you focus on, (Which is a bad thing I might add) so raiding is boring for all you should know, if you think its exciting well I envy you for thinking the most unbareable things can be so fun! what pleasures you may get out of a good stradegy game 😛
As a warrior in a decent raiding guild (AQ40+) I can say that warriors are definitely entertaining to play in raids... so much relies on you.
I have played a rogue in raids, and I enjoyed it for a little while but it eventually became mindless and boring. I can't even imagine being a paladin, cleansing and support healing for 6 hours.
Warlocks are the most overpowered around 😛
in raids Rogues are rather challenging to not get killed 😛 Lotsa running lotsa moving to reposition to avoid AE or fear effects. Any lame brain can SS spam but your not gonna break the dmg meters with it and aggro control is very challenging to not gank.
Tank is the blood most mindless task around; any idiot could hold aggro with sunder revenge block combos.

I have a lvl 60 rogue, was the first character I ever made. a sword rogue with good weapons can just ss spam and evis. Open with Cheap Shot, spam SS untill you've got 5 combo points, evis, repeat. Maybe use a cooldown and the fights done. Not a difficult class, except maybe in raids which I've done and still wasn't that difficult.
A dagger rogue, though, that's a bit more of a challenge and more fun, imo.
