Amazing there is always 1 or 2 that will say "ZOMG WOW DESTORYED MY LIFE !!!! DONT DO IT"
Jebus just learn to control yourself..... There is no evil orc standing behind you with a giant axe screaming at you "PLAY WOW NOW"
its just a game, like any other game you play it when your bored or have nothing better to do.
Moderation is the key.

Thats all correct. I play wow about a couple of hours every other night.
The problem some people feel like they gotta show there "worth" by leveling quicker and getting all the items sooner than everyone else. I dont see the fun in that, I do it at my own pace much more enjoyable.
I've been playing wow on/off for few years now. Two of my main characters is still at lvl 72.
OK I may have over exaggerated but I stand by my point, I ended up playing that game for 3 years and by the end I wasn't even playing because it was fun, by then it was just habbit.
Personaly I think it's the grind that does it, you do the same thing over and over too many times and you don't question doing it again.
I certainly enjoyed WoW at the time, raided through TBC and had a whale of a time in SWP, but by that time raiding was all I played for and when Wrath hit and raiding went out of the window, and Naxx etc was such a let down (for me at least) my reasons to play lessened and I realised that I was logging on, grinding some rep or something and having no fun doing it what so ever. Hence why I now dislike the game, it sucked all the fun out of itself.
But anywho, contructive info for the OP:
First of all you are better of just playing a 10 day trial and seeing what you think of the game, even better find a friend who will let you play on their account for a while to get a real feel for the game, at a low level you don't get much of an oppertunity to see what the game can offer.
If you enjoy it, buy WoW, and leave the expansions, as said above if at lv 58 you enjoy it, get TBC and level to 70 and again if you are still up for more get Wrath, buying them all at once may seem like a good idea but if you get to lvl 40 and realise you can't be bothered with it and stop playing, you have shelled out for 2 games for no reason.
Alliance/Horde - It'spersonal choice, I played Horde because I wanted to play a Paladin and the Alliance races, especialy human (casting animation...eugh) just don't work for me.
If you have friends in WoW, play with them, it will make it infinitly more enjoyable while leveing.
Leveling - it can be dull and if like me you realy just wanted to get it over and done with, there are dozens of free leveling guids on the net or addons that can make it a lot smoother and remove the "WTF Where do I go?!" aspect.
Class - for the love of god level a DPS class, I leveled 1-80 on my paladin as a healer and only when I leveled a DPS class did I realise how stupid that was.
When it comes to choosing a class that's where things get interesting, my advice? level each one to lv 10 and see which ones you have more fun with, you won't get much of an idea about what they are capable of at 80 but you'll come to understand what they do and how they do it.
Enjoy.

Only difference between Horde & Alliance is the Alliance looks Gay & the Horde look cool.
You choose ?
Gay plx. Can you have an elf in all pink armour? That would rawk!!
Email me in trust if you want so I can refer you
I might just do that. We both get extra time or something?
Its between WOW and Warhammer Online, I have a few friends who play on WOW and they might let me play their account (since I had paid for 4 months for them then accidently another 4 when it automatically renewed) but I also have a friend on WAR who has said will help me out there.

Urgh, dont play WAR, I quit that to come back to WoW.
Scenarios killed WAR.
Scenarios killed WAR.
I quit War to play Left4Dead and random other games, best decision I've made in a long time. No MMOs can be great
Fitted a kitchen a week ago, would never have done that if I was still playing WoW/DAOC or War!I send you a 10 day trial and when you sign up for your first month I get a free month
And as a bonus if I "adventure" with you, as they say, we both gain triple the experience points
Up to you
Let me know

Starting out on the trial here too... PvP or normal?
I've only read one line on Gamespot I've ever agreed with. "Everyone should play this game". Not not NOT because it's addictive, but because the lore, the world, the incredible diversity of this game makes it something special. I consider myself a seasoned veteran in this game, yet I've only seen and experienced about 80% of it since I've never played a high level horde char. I'll admit, previously I've taken it too far and played too much and had to quit. This time round I play every second day for a couple of hours and I'm enjoying it much more. Allow yourself to be distracted, don't be too focussed. I was committed to hitting lv80 this weekend but I'm still stuck on lv76 since I've been going to old school raids.
Oh and on which servers, I'd go normal for starters (even RP) and then later move over to a PVP if the peace of 'normal' bores you.
