WoW - sorry!

[sansnom]

Sorry I know the last thing you guys wanna see is another thread about WoW but I actually need your advice/help.

Where are all the UK servers I keep hearing about? I tried going to worldofwarcraft.co.uk but it redirected me here http://www.wow-europe.com/en/serverstatus/ and from what I can tell all the English speaking servers (UK based?) are Full. The only recommended ones are PvP and I really don't think it would be a good idea or fun to start on one of those when you don't really know the game too well.

So am i missing something? Is there somewhere else I can see which servers are UK based?



Also, since I only played WoW in the beta for about 2 weeks over a year ago now, I count myself as pretty much a noob. I was hoping you guys might help me pick a class to play.

There's far too much information, acronyms, codewords and other non-noob friendly material floating about on forums and wow fansites to make sense of it all.

Thanks a lot

I really have to say that PvP is not my thing. I have only ever had pvp experience in everquest which I played for a good few years and I didn't like it at all.

Maybe WoW pvp is better or different I don't know but I'd like to have the option to try it every now and then as opposed to being fully pvp all the time.

As for servers...i read somewhere that Blizz had launched new UK based servers i guess i was wrong but can someone at least suggest a new'ish server which isnt over farmed or full of kiddies ?



As for classes, any suggestions? I'll be starting WoW with a long time EQ-friend so we're both pretty well versed in mmorpgs mechanics just not in WoW.

ok been playing it for 2 days now.

tried just about every class which as i've found is actually no good cause they're all pretty much identical below lvl 20 so you dont really get a taste for any of them unless you stick with it.

Still no closer to choosing a class though.

I was gonna go for shaman but everyone keeps telling me they're useless now(something about being nerfed over the last few patches, while other classes have been getting buffed).

Warrior/Rogue seems like it could be fun. But Im wondering if warrior isnt just a plain old meatshield like in EQ, and bound to get very very dull after 60 levels.

I think the choice is definatley down to shaman, rogue, warrior. Any hints/tips on choosing ?


also, what exactly is the difference between PvP and PvE? I can't tell a difference at the moment. Both still require you to /Duel someone for a duel except in pvp there are 'contested' areas where its a free for all.
