I've been looking to get back in the world of MMO's and was thinking about starting here in WoW, it's been out for a while now and was wondering if it would be difficult to start up as a new player?
There are a few things I am concerned about, first and most obvious is partying. Will there still be people to party with at lower levels.
Second and probably more important issue is the economy. Beinging as the economy is player driven, I am a bit concerned. In that, at lower levels, let's take level 25 as a good example. Will gear be readily available for me? I haven't played WoW and am not sure how easy or difficult it is to get good equipment, but I have played other MMO's and when the game is first introduced all gear is readily available, however when I went back to play FFXI in the recent months, I had a huge problem getting decent gear because, at level 25, it is sometimes a lot easier to come up with 15k to buy a piece of equipment from the Auction House(or whatever method WoW uses for player driven sales), than it would have been to either create that piece of equipment through crafts or to go out and get that piece of equipment from monsters.
Any help would be greatly apreciated.
