Maybe it's not Stormwind then - I'm out in the countryside near a couple of small villages, where I started. The area of Stormwind rather than the city, probably.
Up to Level 7 now.
Wife a bit annoyed by the time I went to bed.

Probably Goldshire and the Monastry. You'll know when you hit Stormwind for the first time, it's pretty cool. Especially if someone has killed a dragon

That's it - knocking about Goldshire at the moment doing the little quests.
Another question. Whenever I've found some clothing/armour that is more than Cloth, my Priest says he "can't use that yet". What do I have to do to be able to equip better armour - do I need to learn/do/become something, or is it a character class restriction?

priests can only ever use cloth, ditto mages and warlocks. rogues and druids can use leather as well as cloth, while shamans and hunters can start off using cloth and leather but can learn how to use mail at level 40. warriors and paladins can start off using cloth, leather and mail but can use plate armor at level 40.
Faction?Human Priest - I think I'm in Stormwind at the moment.

Man, it is just a totally different level of fun once you team up with a few people!Probably Goldshire and the Monastry. You'll know when you hit Stormwind for the first time, it's pretty cool. Especially if someone has killed a dragon
A bunch of us priests bashed through half-a-dozen quests together in no time - it's so much more fun ganging up on the bad guys than slogging it out on your own.
Then I went to Stormwind and got danced at by 50+ people.

Saw an article. Expansion due. Expanding to level cap 80.
They mentioned its been nearly 2 years since last expansion. Which means its been nearly 2 years since i broke my addiction.
Was waiting for the story to make me want to go back. I don't. I'm soo happy with that.

The problem with WOW is that i have encountered is the ever lowering ages of the player base.
I've been asking playes ages recently and almost all of them have been of school age, I think the oldest member in the guild is 19.
I'm not really playing anymore because of this, my friend didn't renew his subs recently because in his words the game was "full of kids"
When I first started playing I was playing with loads of guys in their 30's, 40's and even one in his 50's so I dunno what has happened.
Another guy I know just plays solo all the time cos he says it's all fucking emo kids
Where have the adults gone?

So I've got to November to level my pally from 62 to 70. The question is.. can I be arsed?
Cloud
Omar Commin!
I tried to lvl another char up to 70 but The Burning Crusade is so wank I gave up at 64.
I have a horde at lvl 36 on Sporegar but again I can't face TBC again.
The best lvl range is around the Scarlet Monastery bit, easy to find a party because you can go in there with virtually any bunch of 5 players regardless of class. The problem for me starts at Scholomance where you really start to need a specific mix of classes plus most people have found a guild by then and there are less pugs.
As for end-game well unless you find yourself in one of the elitest guilds which tend to be limited to a few on each realm then you won't be seeing much of it. On my realm one particular guild has just recruited all the former guild masters and captains of other guilds and there's not much of a way into high end instances. In vanilla wow I found it easy to get into molten core and Zul Gurub but since TBC I can't get in anything as nobody will pug anything remotely difficult.
In a way the players are killing the game, the snobbery is insane. My Real life friends who play just keep leveling up new chars as it's awefully clicky and twatish in a top guild. What I need is a bunch of friends who are mature and don't take it too seriously so we can have a laugh.
One mate has 7 lvl 70's and never done an instance past deadmines! He says everyone is a wanker lol and can't be doing with the arguments. I can see where he is coming from.
Anyhow I've been sent to coventry on my realm for being too pissed all the time, doomed to spend the whole game in the battlegrounds farming welfare epics.
U75 guild anyone?

Thors Legion. It's not too bad; the guild leader is 17, but there are quite a few older/married/kids players as well, and there's no focus on raiding or anything.

never odd or even
It's true that there are a lot of kids about - but WoW's been out so long now I think most people stick with the people they know and just ignore the rest. I'm in a guild where the average age is probably mid-20s and goes up to people in their 40s.
My parents both play on the same server as me and they are 69 and 65.

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
This seems to make sense, kids have more time than adults.
Once a game breaks out of the gaming niche new players, who don't see games as a critical part of their life, will have to be time rich to play.
The average adult isn't going to spend 40 hours a week grinding their way to level 70 with some avatar. Kids will.

Omar Commin!
I dunno thou, when you hit 40, married with kids, there's little to do in the evening. I think I have more spare time on my own now than when I was younger when I would have spent a great deal of time out and about with friends. I know my friends now who play are in a similar situation to myself, kinda confined to the family house in the evening.
I do agree with your explanation thou as I am sort of on the edge of the gqaming generation. Lots of people my age don't game at all and watch TV. I couldn't imagine being in my twenties and spending time playing wow.

I've been told that RP servers tend to attract an older crowd as well, though I don't know if that's true.

I used to raid/level for 40 hours a week, work to from 32-34yrs old
My ex-flatmate's husband used to do 16 hour days over the weekends, and sometimes take days off to do more (and he didn't live there during the week so presumably he was spending his evenings at it too). Occasionally he would ask me to get him some beer if I was going to the shop. Late 30s or early 40s.

She used to have screaming matches with him on a regular basis, right outside my door. Which was fun
Particularly when he'd say "could you just leave the food there on the desk and close the door behind you" and "sorry X is here, won't be long" to the people on Teamspeak.I think I failed some sort of test when I started up a trial character and went questing with him for a few hours and then said "ah, I need the loo and a drink and my eyes are going a bit funny, I think I'll stop for today".
Some good advice been given here (and some good questions). Thanks to all contributors.
I'm just on a trial account now and want to buy the disc. I've got a level 60 shaman on a friends computer, I just want to transfer it across to my account. Do I need to buy both the original game and the burning crusade or just the BC? So, two discs rather than one?

You will need to buy both - TBC is an expansion pack rather than a stand alone game. I think you can pick up the original WoW disks for about £10 now.
The only problem you might have is transferring your char from your friend's account to your own. Blizzard are quite strict about char transfers so you will need to have (or use) the same surname to do this (because according to their T&Cs you're only allowed to share an account between immediate family members).
There is another expansion pack due on 13th November (Wrath of the Lich King) which will raise the lvl cap again, to 80 this time so if you want to max your char you will eventually need to buy that also.
