One tip...
Read the quest log. I have only had all of two quests I can think of that didn't give me good directions to where I need to go, by simply reading them and using some simple logic, you can get where you need to go.
And on the subject of side...
Alliance has a bit of a range from server to server... Alliance either outnumbers the Horde noticably, or by so much it is just insane. Horde named servers on the average have closer population balances, Zul'Jin is at 1.6 or so alliance players per horde which is shockingly low, heh. This population amount isn't neccassarily a good thing for them, just how it is at the moment.
And neither side are the good guys
Alleria is the server to go if you choose Alliance (I believe)
Zul'Jin is the server to go if you choose Horde
Best thing would be to ahead of time think about what you want to do, what kind of general archtype you want to play in WoW, what do you enjoy playing in a game. Tell us, and we can suggest classes for you... I enjoy having a single main I like right from the start rather than having to make a hojillion alts to find 'me' Vorago fucked around with this message on 01-15-2005 at 03:13 PM.

Keep in mind that the vast majority of people who play WoW are 13 year old, korean children. Such is Blizzard's fan base 
Expect to be told to "eat a dick" or to "go fuck ur muther u fukin fag" numerous times for asking such a simple question as "Where did you get that Dark Whelpling pet? I would like one, too!"
Most of the people who play this game are using their mommy's credit card, and as such, are whiny little bitches who can't understand why you won't give them all of your Soulbound Artisan-Level engineered items that they can't even use.
I hate Blizzard's fan base, but I love this game.

Too true. You'll find this about twice as much in the Alliance as in the Horde.

You know, other than the other day when half the servers were down, and tons of people came to Feathermoon to make characters, I haven't ran into anyone that's a dickhead, or even blatantly as immature as you've stated.
*shrugs* I dunno, roleplaying servers seem alot better than regular servers, from my experience. There's the occasional idiot that comes on obviously, but as soon as he starts to be a jackass over General, people explain what a roleplaying server is, and they usually leave....albeit calling us fags for playing on a roleplaying server, but meh.
Just my experiences.
On the whole I've seen slightly more idiots than normal, but since it's not a "Grouping En Maradon! fucked around with this message on 01-15-2005 at 10:19 PM.forcedcouraged" game like EQ1&2 it's easily worked around, and tends to dry up in the high end game.

I wouldn't mind if they just said "Thanks". Maybe a happy lil' exclamation point.
The fact that they can't be bothered to spell out "Thanks" is what pisses me off. Maradon! fucked around with this message on 01-15-2005 at 10:22 PM.
Play a mage. I've seen so little mages. Lots of Paladins and Warlocks, little to none mages. Priests are also desolate but that is to be expected.

Because Druids can heal, as well as Shamens/Paladins.
Almost half the classes in the game can heal other people.
Warlocks can heal themselves.
Everyone gest bandages.
Arguably, an int/sta paladin with full holy spec(splash defense for +10% armor) is a better healer than a priest because of the much faster cast spell, and the longer combat lasting.

Heal.. ourselves? You're.. joking, right? Please tell me you are.
Omg look siphon life! Yes, that 30hp every three seconds is massive. Plus it's a talent twenty points into our tree.
But wait.. what about drain life?! Surely, that's a heal.
PvP? Useless. I might as well fire up a giant flare with a sign that says "ATTACK ME FOR ESY RAPAGE" when I put *any* beam spell on.
PvE? Not entirely useless, but there is no way in HELL I would call it a healing spell. In any way. Even with Shadow mastery and Improved drain life.

Yeah that night sucked.
I was playing my Mage for a bit then I started a Human Priest. The newbie area was totally a mess.
(btw you can add Ghlina and Margrit to your friend's list if you would like.. Josh and UBT have some humans there too. Josh is a Paladin and UBT is a Mage. I think UBT's name is Delmakor, I forget what Josh's name is right now.)
I prefer playing Horde I think, but I am enjoying trying something new. One thing I noticed is that Feathermoon's general channel is extremely chatty. On my PVE server we don't have that kind of noise. Also, the players on Horde don't KS half as much as they do on Feathermoon's Alliance. It's honestly ridiculous.

For some reason I feel I should be offended by this on some level... but for the life of me I don't know why.
And if/when I get into playing another MMO again, I would be playing which ever side doesn't seem to be full of tards on whichever server I choose. During open beta I saw lots of stupidity on both sides, but that's not a fair guage of things.

Will do
And yeah, most alliance is really quick to chase down any horde they see and try to fight them. I guess they're just looking for some pvp action.
I've been trying to get into playing horde, but I dunno....I'm kinda torn about wether to play Zul'Jin with all those guys, or finding somewhere else to play....

By KS I mean kill-steal, not pvp..
Everytime UBT and I are trying to fight anything that's needed for a quest, we have some Rogue or Paladin run up and attack it. A couple of times we were fighting something only to have an entire group attack it. We had this one Rogue follow us around attacking all our kills for 15 minutes. He was 3 levels higher than us too. We finally lost him by letting him take on the thing we were killing and we ran off.
Yeah, there's a lot of douchebags on alliance.

Check out the big brain on Mr. Parcelan!
Too true. You'll find this about twice as much in the Alliance as in the Horde.
I don't know what it is.. but no matter on which server... every time I play my horde charicters, I'm constently getting random duel request. Not even asked "Hey, wanna duel?" It's really annoying. Especialy when I'm trying to finish a quest, or trying to make something... hell even while I'm killing a mob... My Alliance chars are hardly bothered... occational duel request from a horde member.. but that's to be expected.
In a Horde scenario, someone calls up for a raid, everyone goes "HELL YEAH!" and we stay and fight until we're wiped out.
In the Alliance, someone calls up for a raid, everyone goes "Wait, where?" "I dunno, I was thinking maybe Crossroads?" "Naw, too many players." "Tarren Mill?" "Too many guards." "Well, how about Splintertree Post? Their guards are broken." "HELL YEAH!" "Wait, wait, there's about three level 40s there already." "Shit...well, I can go mine or something. I've got this pick." "Wait, the 40s left, there's just a 20 or so." "RAID RAID RAID!" "Shit, a level 50." "He's like two 40s taped together!" "We can take him! We have the skills!" "Yeah, but I dunno...I mean, there's a vein right here." "Okay, you mine, and then we'll go, okay?" "I've got dinner in half an hour." "Christ, Steve!" "That's Barnacleez to you!"
In short, the Horde are pumped with testosterone and the Alliance are complete pansies and idiots.
