Make sure that before you buy a WOW account, that you know what server your friends play on. Also be sure that you know what type of server you want to play on. Some servers are PvP and RPG. These servers often provide a different World of Warcraft experience than standard play modes. Buy a WOW account and start off as a powerful player. Why spend hours and hours just trying to level up when you can start playing and enjoying the game the way it should be enjoyed!
