    Hey! Welcome ok lets start ...

    If you want to be playing in a roleplaying server you should no theres no PvP its all PvE a list of servers can be found here http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/serverstatus/

    You say you want to be a blacksmith so the best class for that could be a warrior since you can wear the stuff you make BUT that doesn't mean other classes cant be blacksmiths.

    Most servers are kinda full of rogues so I dont think you should pick one right now, your best pick on a class would be Warrior/Priest/Mage since the 3 are always welcome in high end PvE and PvP.

    I play on Bleeding Hollow its a east PvP high population server.

    hey i think i shall play on bleeding hollow. im not sure what kinda char i want now. but i got a week to think about it :). oh and the video card im getting is a NVIDIA Geforce4 MX 4000 128 MB card or a  ATI Radeon 9200SE 128 MB card. could you tell me which of these would work better and if they would work good?

    I have a lower ge-force than you mentioned there and I can still play it on high graphics, so the Ge-Force should do fine. I don't know much about Radeon's though

    Radeon is great. Ive had both and i like radeon the most i think, runs everything great with no problems. I have a Radeon pro 9800 256 mb DDR, one of the best cards out but definetly not as good as the new GeForce.

    Don't worry about it. Eithier way you'll be fine. You can run WoW on a soda can. Not a jab at the game, it's actually cool it can run on so many different setups.

    If you can go to Blizzard's website, I am sure they probably have some tech help there on thier site.  Even though I never checked myself, because I never had a problem running the game.  But I have not played a game that didn't have a tech support on thier site.

    But WoW is not real graphic intensive because they didn't go with the high polygon count route.  So I doubt you will have any serious problems.

    If you like video cards that come with extremely buggy, unstable drivers, go with ATI.

    If you're the type of gamer who prefers stability, it has to be Nvidia.

    Lol, either of the cards you mentioned will play the game just fine. The biggest thing I've noticed is the amount of system RAM you have. The game says minimum 256MB RAM but it should say 512MB. 256MB is pretty choppy. 512MB RAM will play nicely even with a lower card than you were talking about getting. If you happen to have 1GB RAM then you'll be set without a care in the world on either of those cards.
