Hi I'm kinda new to PC gaming and I was wondering if it is still ok to get WOW since everyone's moved on to Burning Crusade and then the second one that's coming out. Are there still people in the world of the original game? Is it a good time to jump into Azeroth for the first time?

Everyone still plays in the same world (Or server if you want to be technical) but without the expansions you will be unable to access certain instances/items/areas/etc.

As for starting now, it never hurts to try it out. Some people like it, some people hate it, and some people make it their life. I personally play on and off.

No it's not too late, although numbers are down in the levelling areas there are still new people starting and old people starting new characters. I don't play anymore but Wow is really worth a try. Just don't let it take over your life.

You can still play any non-BC race to level 60, I bought BC when it came out, I had actually quit and almost.....ALMOST forsaken WoW, but those bastards they call friends managed to get me to buy BC, however, we decided to start a new char, since there were some otehr people who hadn't played before.
I now have a lvl 40something warrior, which was my first main char, and a level 50something hunter, which was my second main.
I don't think I've really touched any BC content, as they're both orcs.

Of course, that's not counting alts.

But really, why waste your time on WoW when there's an endless amount of way better games out there? Just look around, I'm sure you'll find something.

just be prepared to lose months of your life :)

don't worry about buying BC expansion until you are reaching levels in the high 50's, since you need BC to get 61-70... but it'll take at least a month to hit lvl 60 even if you play a couple hours a day.

I quit wow many months ago, but its still a good idea to try it out if you are interested in it.

It's never too late. It's not too late to start UO and it has been out for ten years.

The expansion added new areas for levels 10-20, and for levels 60-70. If you within the 20 - 60 level range, you will not really notice whether you have the expansion or not.
