Wanted to play, but have to wait for the dam patch to finish.
patch sze is 1.62 gb... is that normal?
I'm assuming so, what would that patch include?
What, in your opinion is the best character to start out with?
What are the differences between horde and alliance?
I've heard that starting out as a palladin is pretty good, easy to level etc, although the hardcore gamers reckon that the palladin cops it from the veterans...ie noob taunts...
although grps always look for these later on in the game, due to their healing powers.
I like the sound of the Death Knight.

Yes a paladin is a good choice and is over powered imo doesn't really matter what you spec in the pally he/she will still kickass later on. Good all rounder. They make good tanks in dungeons, good healers and are powerful in bloody pvp as well!

I found the hunter is easiest to lvl once you tame a pet at lvl 10 and use him to attack mobs while you stand back and range attack it gets pretty easy. A DK is a very fast lvler and is like a one man tank but you wont have access to him till one of your characters has reached lvl 55 then the dk will be available. I would say try a few characters out it wont take you long to get to 20 by 20 you should know if you want to stick with him or try something else.

Once you get to lvl 10 you can start putting points into what spec you want to go, each class has 3 talent builds to put points in eg: Pally can go healer, Retribution or Prot (tank). Healer and Prot are excellent for PVE where Retribution is good for pvp. Every 2 levels you get to add 1 point.

Patch size yeah that's pretty normal for the early patches.

The difference between Horde and Alliance is one side are pricks and the other are not

Alliance = humans, nightelfs, dwarfs, Draenei & Gnomes (Worgans when expansions out)
Horde = Orcs, Trolls, Undead, bloodelfs & Tureans (Goblins expansion out)

I prefer the Horde but both sides are fun to play.
