Ok well let me first say that i've heard a lot of great thing's about this game. I'm wondering what does this game have to offer, ex. skill,classes,items,graphics,community, and any other usefull information that might be helpfull to know before i put out my own money to buy the game then pay a monthly payment for it.

The only reason i'm asking all this though is because i'm completly sick and tired of all the same game play all free mmorpg games offer.

Once again if anyone tell me the answer's to the question's i asked i would be very thankfull. I don't want to end up paying for this game just to end up seeing that the game was a waste of money if it is.

nod84, stop making such idiotic posts and start putting some thought and information into them!
Okay, there are eight races in the game, four alliance (night elf, dwarf, gnome, human), and four horde (orc, troll, tauren, undead). Each race has four, five, or six classes they can choose from. There are eight classes in all (rogue, shaman(horde only)/pally(alliance only), druid, warrior, mage, priest, hunter, warlock). Each different class has many different skills that they get while leveling. You get to upgrade your skills every two levels by going to a trainer and buying them.
There are I believe 10 professions that you can do (skinning/leatherworking/herbalism/alchemy/tailoring/mining/blacksmithing/etc.), yet you can only choose 2 of them.
The game world is HUGE. There are no load times except the intial one and other places like instances. So basically, every area transition is seamless. The game IS a year and a half old, so the graphics are a little outdated, but they look great still, and they are very pleasant to look at. Also, there are many different types of areas.
There are also MANY different types of items that you can get, and basically, up until level 60, everyone has different item set ups. At level 60, however, you can get tier 0, tier 1, tier 2, and tier 3 armor sets that go with your class, so people start to look the same. Getting to level 60 takes awhile, maybe 12-15 days ingame time for your first character.
The community is usually very good, and each of the 130 servers have MANY people on at a time, so you won't usually have to worry about finding partys and the such.

World of Warcraft is MUCH better than all the free MMORPGs out there. Also, you can go to their site (www.worldofwarcraft.com) and see a lot of information.

EDIT: About "easy" or "best" classes, I suggest as a first class to play Hunter or Warlock, as they don't require as much skill to play as other classes.
EDIT2: Thanks Ramstien!
