everything is included in the base WoW purchase except for the latest expansion, so all you need to do is buy the base game and then Legion.

if you're new, my suggestion is to play the base game up until like level 60 or so, basically to the point where you have a good feel for your class and are bored of questing and dungeon queues, and then buy legion and boost your dude to 110

You can do that. All Legion really does is give you access to the new class and new area.

Also get on a "full" pop server.

Anything else and you won't be able to buy what you need off the Auction House due to too few players putting stuff up.

I recommend Area 52.

yea go for it

as i said before, id suggest playing the base game until you get to a point where you have a good feel for how your class works, how your rotation works, how the game mechanics work, etc and then buy legion and boost to level cap, because leveling is pretty dull IMO.

The way WoW works is that players play only the latest content, because as new content comes out, the level cap increases, gear gets more and more powerful, etc and as a result old content becomes obsolete since it doesn't scale.

so there's really no reason to buy the latest expansion until you are at the max level (or until you decide you'd like the level 110 boost), at which point you'll be playing with everyone else.

i haven't exhausted it.

i have one level 70. slowly bringing everything else up to 60.

I just don't have it in me to do savage or EX stuff anymore. I've tried. I'm good enough for it, but I don't want to do it anymore.

I also just want a break from the people i play it with.

Rather not do that, just don't pick a low pop server. Full pop means you get queues on busy days.

eh it's pretty lousy tbh

it's very lonely since the world is very big and most players are now in the Legion area, which is not accessible for you until you hit 110. so it's a lot of empty areas with nobody else in there but the occasional other player leveling up his 900th alt.

leveling is also really easy, to the point where it is very dull and mindless, because you'll always have overpowered gear and there isn't much nuance to the combat at very low levels.

that being said i wish i could go back in time and explore Azeroth for the first time again. WoW is easily one of the greatest gaming experiences ive ever had

the higher the better imo, i wouldnt really be worried about queues and it sucks to be on a dead server.

you also want to consider the server's horde to alliance ratio. it's not really fun to play alliance on a server that's 95% horde and vice versa (especially if it's a pvp server).

check this site:

https://realmpop.com/us.html

if you want a server with a good ratio of horde to alliance and a solid community, check out Emerald Dream. all of my characters are on Tichondrius

You need to also check what servers are connected to yours. I am currently in a mostly alliance server, but always get sharded with horde. Freaking annoying.

DK is a braindead easy class while Rogue is the one that is unfriendly for new players.

DKs start at 55, so you'll miss your race questline, you'll miss learning the basics of the game at level 1, and as soon as you complete the DK starting area you're thrown directly into the absolute worst leveling area in WoW (BC Outland).

The game already babies you way too much and you wont be getting your class specific useful moves till near max level anyways.

Alliance or Horde?

(I see at this point you're playing but I think this is worth saying anyway.)
It doesn't matter much at all. Horde being better at PvP is a giant meme people like to spread around. Truth is I never had a significant problem being Alliance in PvP - I myself sucked regardless, but we didn't lose constantly. It started to matter even less when Arena became the focal point of PvP over battlegrounds. Each race has its own little perks but, in the end, they don't matter that much. The most noticeable difference is aesthetics; Alliance places tend to be prettier and more green/blue, while Horde areas tend to have a lot more brown, and are generally more earthy (i.e. rocks and mountains).

Just curious to people who still play (I dipped out in WoD) - are Prot Warriors still broken as fuck? I started playing one right before quitting and, goddamn, it just facerolled everything. I loved it.

Each one has strengths and weaknesses. Were it me I'd go Human/Undead for PvP because of their stun removal ability.

Looking into it now, though, I didn't realize how much they've changed the racials to be more useful. Dwarf is good, Gnome has a good one - not like in the past when quite a few of the races had somewhat useless ones. Also it looks like the stat buffs are more useful too; back in the day, Gnomes just had an intellect buff and humans had more Spirit, for instance, but they were so minor that they hardly mattered.

well, i have an undead rogue and a Blood Elf death knight.

monthly sub cycles yeah!
