thing is, you start with Blizzard, u end up playing them all the time :D

they're great game makers, they are

plus from the in-game footage, it doesn't look realistic at all so there won't be any bloodbaths. I'd like to give it a go some time, tho perhaps some kind of trial mode before I stake my hard-earned cash :P

yea, it looks a bit more like UT. found this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08IzqBoCR1s there's a lot of gameplay footage there. I checked the official site and I think the game's out now. might just try it some other day, I'm already playing WoW and it costs money to play as well so I'm a bit used to it.

not all warriors are tanks, arms and fury warriors are dps...

and there's not a single class that can only be a healer, even the priest can be be shadowform and deal IMBA damage.

say, playing a rogue thats combat spec with swords is a bit easier to play than a assassination-daggers rogue. i mean it's totally different, even though the class is the same. Thing is, ask urself what u more prefer, melee or casting. no warlock mage or priest will go into melee combat. unless they feel bad about their lives. but hybrid classes like druids or shammys can do pretty much anything.

the hybrid classes are cool. im gon make a alt - shaman.

oh, and choose the horde man :) HORDE FTW.

I didn't buy the battlechest, but got the guide to world of warcraft (2nd edition, the one they give with the chest). It's like, first ur reading and it's awwwesome then you see that most info is out of date and a bit useless, and THEN you find lots of really useful stuff, like other classes abilities. I don't like the screenshots thou, they r really small.

All in All, the Battlechest is worth buying.
