@.@ after much debate with myself, finally decided to fish out my credit card and finalize my payment for WoW from TSB. RM219 for a starter pack with 60 day time card isn't so bad.. picking up my copy tmr after my last exam paper. Hope to see any LYN ppl in it  ps.. headache here, which server should i play in? i'm not so much of a pvp person.. is there any penalty for being killed by other players?

Oceanic Dath' Remar is a new PvE server.
Lucky you're buying the item tomorrow. If you bought it today, you'll probably be having the most frustating day in your life.

490MB isn't the only patch he will be downloading, I'm sure you need to download all the previous version patches first.

Once you get the 1.12, you will need to get the 2.0.1 or something which is getting implemented right now =X lol
Have you decided on a class and race to roll on?

You can't get all the uber items all by yourself, unless you can somehow managed to farm like 20 rare drops at 1 go but, it's just very very very difficult  for easy intro and startups, i'd recommend a druid or a paladin. Both are hybrids with healing abilities so it shouldn't be hard to play, although in druid's case, you have to be really patient with some of their "class quests" ie. Bear Form, Aqua Form (and possibly Cat Form and Travel Form prior to new patch). check for 'new' servers (or low population) either through the server selection screen or worldofwarcraft.com realm tab. But be warned: market economy sux for new servers so it'd be hard for you to accumulate wealth "merchant style"

Nope, PVE cannot transfer to PVP, PVP however can transfer to PVE. But I feel you are missing a lot of things if you don't go to a PVP server.

Oh don't worry about getting pawned early, you will start in a friendly area. This means you cannot be attacked by others unless you attack them. I think you will only go into pvp areas roughly about level 25-30 range, by then you should be familiar with the basics. Not sure about Alliance racial skills since I play on the Horde side but warriors are generally the most gear dependant class. Warriors are known as 2 types in general. Fury and protection types, fury are for those who like damage and protection for tanking. People usually want tanker specs more though.
