Just ordered WOW (not with Burning Crusade).

Totally upto date with the lore having completed all of the previous Warcraft games, such that i have decided to join an RP server.

Want to see if i can get into it before purchasing the further expansions such as Burning Crusade and then Lich King.

What exactly do you NOT get with the standard flavour of WOW.

I know the level cap is 60 and you cant go to Outland but is there anything else i should know that would make the game annoying to not have on my way to the standard flavour level cap?
 
im going to wait to start until the new patch is out.

apparently there are new graphic improvements, will these be for all versions of wow?
 
thats why ive only ordered the standard version.....to drill that to death content wise then move on to burning crusade....do the same there then get on to WOTLK.

bit lame i wont be able to get to the blood elf starting area but when im finished with the vanilla wow ill probably level an elf through that starting zone.

when this new patch is out for wotlk, will there be any additional content added then that will not be available to me?

gonna make four chars:

Human Paladin
Night Elf Druid

Undead Warlock
Orc Shaman or Hunter

that should give me a wide variety of perspectives to play the game from.
 
the reason ive only bought wow vanilla is cos im not paying for content i cant even do yet.

as for classes:-

Paladin- favorite class due to storyline in Warcraft 3

Druid- wanna be a wise old fart like Malfurion

Warlock- great lore from Warcraft 1&2 plus they look damn fun to play

Hunter- probably will be a hunter considering im not greatly keen on being a shaman

Not sure about being a warrior as they have really restrictive abilities in healing themselves, and considering im going to do a LARGE amount of solo play to get to 60 i can see it being painful me being that class.
 
the trial has functionality limits,

im prepared to waste £20 on a 2 month subscription....since i loved Warcraft 1/2/3, chances are im going to like WOW.

Im just concerned about how much time you have to put into it to get to see end game content. Im a full time worker so am only really going to play maybe 3 nights a week max.
 
i realise that, dont think ill get to end game anyway for about 6 months anyway.

one thing my research into the game has shown, is that Blizz should have implemented one big storyline in the game where finishing one instance will send you to the next and so on and so on....that way some nice content would be far more frequented.
 
another question, been reading up more that new content graphics such as a graphics change to Lady Sylvanas and Varian Wrynn is being implemented.

any idea if things like this are happening on the patch due out in a few weeks or if that will be implemented with WOTLK?
