Potential New Player Looking For Guidance!

[Rezzurekt]

Hey all, I am a former diehard Vanilla player looking to expand my horizons. My life only allows me to play a few hours a week so I am interested in Icecrown -- how big of a difference is x7? Is it too fast to enjoy any levelling/low level dungeons? Or is it just fast enough to not have to grind away for hours.

Also, in general, whats the game like here? I am really interested and excited to start playing later tonight.

It's a great place, and you answered your own questions... if you keep some things in mind.

1. There are more players here than there were on most Blizz servers back in the day, so, the chances of you being ganked, farmed, and killed are higher.
2. The que sucks, no reason to complain about it, we have a que for the same reason stated in 1.
3. It's a game, don't get upset when you die, try and make some friends, a guild and read the forums, there is a ton of useful info here. use the search function.

In any case, welcome! Enjoy your game time!
