Help me get "into" World of Warcraft

I just bought the game, this being my first MMORPG, I am sort of lost. If anybody has just started playing, it would be pretty cool to get in a group and handle the game together.

Hi there! What race/class combo are you playing? How exactly are you lost? With a bit more info, I'm sure we can help you out.

Just grab up quests wherever you see them and that will get you going. People in game are generally pretty good about helping out with simple questions (like where is the warrior trainer etc.) Try the General chat feature to ask your questions. Once you pick a profession, that will take time and effort to progress so that will give you plenty to do.

I have skinning/leatherworking so I just go on hunting binges and come back with 50-60 leather pieces that I can use to make stuff and sell.

There's plenty to do to keep you busy...(exploring is a full-time job). This game should keep you entertained for awhile. It's more addictive than Civilization (I never thought that was possible). I haven't touched HALO 2 since I picked up WoW last week.

I hand out most of my stuff to my guild, but what I have left does bring in some good coin and I've traded numerous armor kits for bag upgrades as well

Ain't that the truth

I haven't touched Halo 2 since Half-Life 2 came out - then NFSU2 came out - i don't even know if I'll be checking out WoW.

I havent played any game since i've played Wow in open beta. I'm getting it for xmas (or else buying for myself if no one gives it to me). I figured i'd take the month off of video games (except one night of halo 2) before starting up Wow. This has been a real sucky month and all i do is read the Wow forums when i can.
I'm addicted to a game i dont have. so sad

Join Cenarius where everyone else is

Start doing quests - the game does a good job of guiding you through the game the first many levels.

Ask in the area you are in as well, people are always up for groups and helping out a lot in my experience.

And post your name if you are on cenarius, i'll in-game email you some money to get you started

If anything would turn you off the game, you'd think it would be those forums.

OMG NERF SHAMANS
OMG MY SERVER IS DOWN
OMG I'M CANCELLING MY ACCOUNT

If you dare to say anything positive, you'll be shouted down as a "BLIZZARD FANBOI"
