After the recent regressive changes on P99 to create a more Classic experience, plus some Guild members either quitting or reducing their playing time, I find my love for EQ diminishing and eroding with each new patch.
I never experienced WOW - certainly not Vanilla. Looking for a similar experience to EQ, but not creaking in certain places, and vastly better PvP.
The WOW social experience has always put me off in the past, but hearing that Alliance is better to avoid the cesspit that is chat, and that WOW players have thin skins, the bad crowd is not so much of a factor.
I've decided to take a sabbatical from P99, and will roll on Nost. I will roll Alliance Druid for the challenge, and to really dive into WOW at the deep end given that I'm a WOW virgin. Adversity is the best teacher in the long run, and I have no real desire or time to play anything other than casual (couple hours a week); hence, am not interested in end-game raiding at this point in time.
Have a lot to do this week, so will not probably start Nost (even though it is downloading) until the weekend.

You're in for a real treat if you have never played wow at all. There will be scumbags on either side of the alliance and horde, but I have always found alliance to be the lesser of the two evils. The ignore function comes in more handy in wow then any other game I have ever played.
If you enjoy pvp, wow can be a great game for it, group or soloing. Some of the best times I had in pvp was in vanilla wow on live. I actually found a video I posted of me pvping on youtube but it's such crap quality I'd hate to share it lol.
You choose a great class imo for a beginner, a druid can do a little bit of everything and also the most versatile class imo. Tank check, heals check, stealth check, dps check, travel form check. While some classes can do other things better then the druid their versatility is what truly sets them apart. A good group will appreciate a druid breaking off from their dps to help the main healer out, or take over tanking if the tank wipes, etc.
I play on Kronus from time to time, there was just way to many bugs and exploits that happened on Nostalrius for me to want to stay there after awhile. Plus Kronus just feels so much more fleshed out then Nost.
