Starting out in World Of Warcraft is a daunting task indeed. For someone who has never played World Of Warcraft or has only just recently started they are already two expansions behind. So, there has got to be a way to be able to still enjoy the game but catch up quickly. This article will overview some tips on getting the most out of your experience in World Of Warcraft.

The first thing you need to do before all things is decide which server you are going to play on. You must select a server that is going to play the same hours as you. Picking your geographical location on the tab list on the bottom you can find a server that suits your time zone. It is also a good idea to check out the servers forums before creating a character on that server. On the forums you can find out what the players are like, is it a strong population of active members, what kind of guilds are doing raids on that server, you can even check out who wins the battlegrounds the most on that server.

Picking a server compliments your character also, picking a faction to play on can also help define which server is best for you. Finding a server that has more raiding guilds on your faction than the other, or dominates the battlegrounds in their battlegroup will greatly help you in the future whatever your endeavours may be.

Once you have picked your faction you need to decide what race and class you will play. These also compliment each other with racial abilities. Certain racial abilities benefit certain classes more than others. For example, Orcs have a a bonus 5 expertise with axes making it a good decision for a Warrior to be an Orc rather than another race. Racial abilities vary for different classes, read each classes racial ability before making a decision. To be blunt though, the racial ability isn't that big of a deal.

Picking a class to play is probably the biggest choice you will make in the game, it will determine your whole experience with the game and the role you play in it. Firstly determine whether your a fighter or a helper. I'll explain to you in more detail what I mean.

Fighter

You are someone who wants to get in to the middle of the action and do some serious damage to your foes. You want a class that either gets up close and personal with big weapons or toys with their foe by attacking them from a distance.

Helper

You are someone who wants to help the Fighter's with what they do best, this usually means healing.

Now for you to pick the class that best benefits
