Here are a few tips for future World of Warcraft players (or even current players that want to know how to make the game more enjoyable). Even though these ideas might sound crazy, they worked for me, and there have been times when I was more than upset with this game. You must understand that WOW is trying to make a virtual world, like the Sims, but during a fantasy era where humans are at war with creatures. This game will not be like any game you have ever played. Even though the gameplay might be similar to the likes of Diablo (also made by Blizzard Entertainment), the gaming experience is too advanced to compare.
Tip #1: Create Multiple Characters - If you have plenty of free time on your hands, I recommend making four characters, but no matter what, make at least two. There are many reasons for this, but most important is the rest factor. If you play your character every day, you will gain normal experience. If you character is rested, you gain double. When your character is not being used, he gains rest (if you log off at a town Inn). There is a maximum amount of rest you can have at any point, so the trick is only play a character while he is rested. When you reach your rest limit, and you begin to gain normal experience, log off, and play an alternate character (one that has rest). This cycle should not be started until all players are at least level ten. You will soon be able to tell what class you enjoy playing, and will tend to play that character more. If you do not like a character, stop playing him, but DO NOT delete him. Just make a new class to sub into his spot in the rotation.
Tip#2 : Character Selection - Assuming that you are new to the game, I will recommend four classes to begin with. After playing the game some, you will be able to tell what class you like the most. The classes I will recommend will be flexible enough to PVP, while also having the ability to play multiple roles in the dungeon levels. The Paladin is the best class in the game, having the ability to spec a dominant Tank or Healer. They also have the ability to wear any type of gear, and are more than decent at PVP. The Druid is the second best class in the game, also having the ability to spec a dominant Tank or Healer. They are more limited with gear, but are the best PVP characters. The Priest and the Shaman are tied for the third spot, but I would recommend a Shaman because they can wear more types of gear. Both classes are mainly used as healers, but also can be used as the top support classes in the game. Both classes are also excellent PVP characters.
Tip #3 Leveling - Complete EVERY quest, including chain quests, given at your starting area. Read the quest log to see where to go and what to kill (or what to do). One quest will tell you to go to another town. Do that quest last. At the new town, some of the quests will require too much travel time, or just be boring, so feel free to skip whatever you want. Just make sure you are always doing a quest. Do this until you reach level twelve (Horde) or fifteen (Alliance). Now, jump into the LFG (looking for group) channel, and try to get your character into your first dungeon level, which is Ragefire Chasm (Horde) or Deadmines (Alliance). This will be your first taste of an official WOW gaming experience.
If you do this right, you should be doing the same dungeon level with two to four different characters. This will give you a good idea of what each class has to offer. Try different roles with your Paladin or Druid. Try this out, and let me know if you need any more advice. I am also available to help with any boss strategies, spec configurations, or any WOW related questions.
