Starting WoW...

[skip]

Yes, I have joined the bandwagon.

But, I have no idea what the heck to do... I don't know what server or even what character to play... Should I play a PvP server? PvE? RP?

;\

Help.

[SNiFFeR]

PvP. Blackwing Lair  :D (Horde).

[Warrior]

RPPvP Maelstrom.

What should I be?  :D

[Warrior]

Depends on your playstyle. The worldofwarcraft.com website has a "Classes" page describing the different types of classes and what they do more. As well as Pros/Cons

[ZeroX]

Play on Crushridge PvP Alliance

Me and Furious play there.

Make a charater you like to play. Like to heal? Roll a Priest. Like to be over powered and rape faces? Roll a Warlock.

TOO LATE! He's on Maelstrom suckas!

I've found, that for me, being ganked is one of the most frustrating experiences in WoW.

If all you play is PvP you don't know any better :P. And plus, what would the point be of not being able to attack enemies whenever you see them?

It's trivially easy to imagine what the game would be like without ganking.  I don't think it's likely that it wouldn't occur to people either.  I started out on a PvP server and intentionally switched to a RP server, the ganking being my primary reason for doing so.

What do you mean what's the point?  I like the structure that a non-PvP server provides: you PvP when you want to (granted that you cannot initiate attacks, but there are still battlegrounds, which are far more productive and (I'd argue) fun) and you can quest or grind without being bothered when you feel like it.  Also, you call them "enemies."  This implies that they've done something to warrant your disdain for them.  Not that this has anything to do with what you're saying (it was probably just a hasty choice of words), but it really grinds my gears when people say "damnit I hate the (Horde|Alliance)."  I realize it's me making something out of practically nothing, but it really does bug me.  Probably because I have good friends on both sides and I take words too literally. :P

I am absolutely against ganking -- even when on a PvP server.  When I say "ganking," I mean the attacking of a player when said player has a low chance of surviving.  I don't mind a fair (or even unbalanced, as long as reasonable hope exists) fight, but, until you reach a high level, these are few and far between.  I always make an effort to fight back if I'm attacked, but I never strike first.  The people who I play with feel exactly the same way.

While I agree that it adds some aspect of excitement to the game, I am still quite confident when I say I believe that the frustration negates it and then some.

Anyway, I talked to much.  sorry. :P

Carebear.

I used to feel like you Sidoh. Then I realized the Horde are as blood thirsty as I was. Of course I don't gank lowbies (much), but theres a very little chance that if I see someone within five levels of me I'll let them live or at the very least try to kill them.

I like ganking because when motherfuckers be stealin' my motherfuckin' creeps for a quest, they get motherfuckin' blasted.

Oh, and I gets my motherfuckin' creeps.
