Yay Krazed!
You'll definitely want to make sure you play on a server that some of your friends (IRL or here, your call, of course) play on. x86 is supposed to be playing on Maelstrom. I namely play on Feathermoon because I have two level 60's there and a weekly raid that's doing really well. Mythix and TehFoOol play there as well (Mythix has a 54 druid, TehFoOol has a 30-something priest). I think Blazed and a bunch of other people play on Thunderlord.
