World of Warcraft players, come in!

I've been looking at WoW for awhile. And now that it's free to play up to level 20 (at least the basic version is) is it worth downloading and checking out? Been looking for another MMO to play around in when Maple is in the pomegranateter.

Compared to Maple, you just can't go wrong with WoW. You'll be amazed with how much more streamlined and efficient everything is. I suggest you take your time while leveling your first character to soak in all the lore and environment. It's quite a blast. Oh, probably what you'd never expect: skill resetting is done with in-game gold, and it's very cheap to boot. Since each class has three specs (think class styles), and resetting is super easy and cheap, you can always toy around until you find what works for you.

Also, you gotta consider what role(s) you enjoy the most. Do you like PEW PEW, or is being support/healing more of your thing, or do you want to be that unkillable tank who protects his party members? If you're unsure of what role you want, the following classes are always nice because they can do almost everything (healer/tank/DPS): 1. Druid 2. Paladin

Don't worry about armor types; pick the class you think is coolest. Unless you're a tank, expect to die in a few hits from dungeon bosses, regardless of your armor type.
