Okay, lemme try to explain a little.
There are 3 realms (expansions) on Warmane for now, Outland (70lvl), wotlk (80lvl) and mop (90lvl). Outland is kinda hard, idk about mop, wotlk (iccecrown and lordaeron) are quite easy and most populated. For start its easier to get DPS class, for lvling good are Hunters, warlocks, mages, paladins, but all others are fine too.
After reaching max you can find on this forum pvp and pve builds for your class with talents, skills, gems and all the important informations.
Same goes with proffesions (like jewelcrafting or blacksmithing etc), guides are here, on forum.
Leveling guide route as horde or aliance, guess what, still here.

If you want any more described info or help in gamę (no free gold/items) contact me in PW

Good luck!

It's mostly what Vilya said.

Now there are a few more aspects to think about.

There are 2 factions in the game.
Horde and Alliance.

Horde is overall better in PvE content. (Player vs Enviorment)
Alliance has the upperhand in PvP. (Player vs Player)

Also there are 2 different roles someone could choose from.

Support or offensive.

The following information is for PvE content:

Support containes 2 different types:

Tanks: Takes the damage from bosses so the others dont die.
This is done via positioning and making sure the boss always targets you.

Healers: Heals the tanks and players so they dont die.

Offensive has just 1 purpose and 2 types:

Dps: Dealing damage to the boss.

Range dps: deals damage from a distance.
Melee dps: deals damage from close range.

For PvP the rolls are basically the same, but without a tank.


As healer/tank its easier to join groups for pve.
Since they are always needed more then a dps.

That said.. it is still important that you know what you're doing.
So if you want to play support it is reccomended to read some guides / watch some video's.


Druids and paladins are the only classes that can fill all rolls.
They also are one of the easiest classes to level up.

Now the following list will provide you MY personal list of what class is most fun to play till least fun. (As dps)

1. Mage
2. Deathknight
3. Warrior
4. Hunter
5. Priest
6. Warlock
7. Druid
8. Paladin
9. Rogue
10. Shaman

This is different for everyone so dont take it too seriously!
It's just my opinion! :-)

Now there arent really shortages for classes on this server.
Sometimes warlocks are needed and sometimes paladins or hunters.

It really differs per day so dont think about that.

Check this thread: http://forum.warmane.com/showthread.php?t=379083

Its a fun to read class guide thay will help you make a choice.
It's focussed on the Wotlk X-pac tho.

Goodluck with your adventure in The World of Warcraft!
