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.

Your downloading from Blizzards main wow site right? Can't really help as i never tried the trial version I just went out and brought the game but i do know that the patches were big at the start.
Try and join a populated realm so if you need help in questing there's always some player at the same level as you that will join. Pallies are always needed for groups. And if you want there are always low level guilds that advertise in game for new members that you can join that are aimed at helping each other level up. Anyways shouldn't be too long to go.

I hope you have no life. Because thats about the only way you're going to get any decent gear and experience the end game content.

Though that makes me a bit of a hypocrite, I go back every now and then to play for a while before I get bored of it and move on to another game. I'm headed back for 2 months when Cataclysm is released. Once that's over. I'm out until i get a major urge to play again.

Now, after getting all the patches in place i can't play the dam trial

won't let me log on saying that a wow game may not be attached or i may be logging into a region different from one that i created acct in?
Ive emailed support, awaiting reply.
Ive checked their support forum and no help there, ive checked my wtf file for the correct links, all good, funny thing is i can log onto battlenet with my acct details...
i cant post on forums after logging in, it says i don't have a acct linked to it?
This is really frustrating since i waited forever for those friggin patches.

Did you dl the right region? - go to where wow is install and look in the \Data\ folder, you will see your region there either it will be enUS or enEU . You first have to have a character created before you can post in the wow forums if i remember right. Support should be able to sort out your problem hopefully.

Got it sorted!
I activated the wrong region trial...the US one
after activating the EU one, bingo!
Level 5 now.
Cheers.
