also if you want to make this about exploration then I'd recommend against heirlooms as you will pass content too quickly

Liz wiz, why don't you just pick a race/class and just start playing. half the people here don't know what the races/classes are anyhow

because i suffer from choice paralysis and thread participation is good.

Are we gonna pick the class specialties too? Also, how come Death Knight isn't on the list?

death knight skips 1-60 and the class never really "clicked" for me, so i'd prefer to avoid it for this thing.

Just pick whichever combination is going to lead to you seeing this LP to it's end.

that's very subjective.

each race has some minor and unique bonuses, but it's largely a cosmetic choice.

interesting question. probably a mage, warrior or rogue of whatever race you think looks the best. warlock's fine too.

one every three days at the barest minimum, but you can expect more than that. length of updates may vary, and you all will be the first to know if personal life forces me to miss an update.

that's a bit of a toughie. it's a big world (of warcraft) so there'll be no shortage of stuff to show off so this might be lowballing it, but i am going to say a minimum of 40 updates, with the stipulation that i must reach the level cap of 110.

might do more stuff after i do both those things, might not.

I don't know about for a noob, but I pretty much only a troll or elf. Generally a blood elf, but if I haaaaaaave to play alliance for some reason, I settle with crap elf. For classes, I'm very partial to death knights (but that's definitely not a noob class), paladins, and druids in that order. My highest level character is a 99 Blood Elf Death Knight but I'm bad at video games so that doesn't matter :p

i vote druid as well

Scaly Haylie

Voting is closed! It's a tie between druid and hunter, so I'll be flipping a coin. Tails will signify the tail of our future animal companions, while heads will signify the head shop all the druids frequent.








Heads!

As a druid, our choice of races is rather limited. Since we're on the Alliance side, these are our choices:


Night Elf

I don't really know what the night elves' deal is lore-wise, but they're rather serious forest mage types. Their bonuses are as follows:

- May fade into the shadows. A form of stealth! Kind of redundant, since druids have access to stealth anyway.
- More difficult to hit! Just slightly, but hey.
- Resistant to Nature damage. Damage types aren't extremely important in WoW; this is pretty much just for flavor.
- Faster movement while stealthed. Certainly useful.
- Faster attacks at night and increased critical chance during the day. Neat!



Worgen

Where wolf? There wolf! Their bonuses are as follows:

- Can periodically move quickly. I, uh, don't have anything to say about this. Sorry.
- Critical chance increased. That's always nice.
- Resistant to Nature and Shadow damage. See above.
- Skinning skill and speed increased. A nice fringe benefit if we want to do leatherworking, which we might, since druids can wear leather armor!

Vote for your preferred race and gender, but don't overthink the bonuses. It's basically a matter of taste. Feel free to throw in a name suggestion if you want, too.

Night elf, not just because I prefer them, but also because the worgen starting area is GOD AWFUL AND LONG.

Not sure. Worth trying? If you can escape the quest. I remember doing Coldridge Valley as a night elf once.
