Getting ready to log into WoW for the first time. Any thoughts on which server I should join?

One that isn't down.
Earthen Ring seems to have been a good choice.

ArrPee servers suck. I'd say pick a low pop PvP server (like Nathrezim).
But if you want to play with folks here, everyone seems to have a char on Earthen Ring - though it only seems to be a few peoples main characters.
Oh, and I think you can have 6 - 8 characters per server.. just know that on a PvP server you aren't allowed to have both Horde and Alliance characters.

I created a human warrior named Garbarge on Earthen Ring.

Archimonde. We are unbelievably l33t and cool and hardcore. And if you are only comfortable pvping people 35 levels lower than you, we have a perfect zone for you at lvl 60...its called "Hillsbrad".

Ten characters per server, 50 characters overall. Viin is obviously in Corey mode. He's right about PvP servers only allowing you to choose one faction, though. Yay, Viin! Blizzard is also planning to let people move their character to a different server at some point, if they like... but I don't know the rules.

I plan on having multiple chars. EDIT - I played straight from about 10:30 pm until 5:30 am. Time sure flew by. It kind of reminds me of the first night I had WC2. |

If you're planning on getting one high, pick a side though. Leveling slows down quite considerably at higher levels.
So, if you want f13 people to play with, might want to go horde side. I won't be there, but goons like Way, Righ and various other people will be.

When you say slow, do you mean EQ-ish slow, or even worse?

8-10+ hours per level at 40 and up I'd say. At least 10+ hours for each of the last 10 levels. I'll grab my /played time next time I log in. Now, this will have lots of crafting time in it and I exclusively quest, but it should give you a good barometer on how long you should expect it to take.

57 1/2 took me approx 14 days. But I dont' craft, just resource nab. There is tons of wasted time in there as my bud just got his alt to 40 in like 3days /played. |

I've got just over 9 days /played (holy crap!) on my 43 orc hunter. I'd say 8-10 hours for the 40s sounds about right, much faster before that. I usually mess around alot, pvp and whatnot. But as a fairly casual player, I'd say the advancement is just about right, the sweet spot. I actually expect to hit the level cap, if they don't raise it in a few months...
But 9 days /played, holy crap. I mean, I know I afk for hours at a time (that guitar playing bit), but sheesh. I guess WoW is a pretty good game. I haven't put in that kind of time into a mmog since the EQ /beta/. Wow, indeed.

Im about to hit lvl 55, and right now I have about 10 days and 4 hours played. But I guess I am a rogue, and I played beta.
I have a guildmate who is French Canadian who has over 23 days played at lvl 50.

This sounds painless after EQ and SWG force xp. |

I hit 60 two days ago and the last time I checked I had about 14 days /played. That was with lots of downtime in the 35+ levels because I was running back and forth between zones way too much and didn't know 'an efficient' questing path. I've been helping-out a priest friend of mine and we've gotten her from 46 to 56 in less than two weeks with about 4-5 hours a night partnered up and one day a weekend at 6-8 hours. That includes downtime to dick around at the AH and do some instance raiding with our guild.
The last few levels, from 55- 60 took me about 7-8 hours each IF I focused on questing and getting stuff done rather than putter with my usual resource gathering/ green mob ganking/ running from here-to-there answering world distress calls of 5+ hits.

11 days, 15 hours to 60. That's with a lot of farting around due to crafting (armorsmithing is a pain).

Silver ore is a rare spawn of copper nodes. When checking copper nodes, sometimes it'll be silver.
Thread: trades vendors. General, leatherworking, tailoring.

Is finding silver based on anything else? I didn't pay much attention to tradeskills until recently and I have never, ever found silver.

Thanks for the info. I have the strategy guide, and noticed that it doesn't have silver listed as appearing in any zones. That must be why. |

Nope. Just an uncommon or rare node spawn. It'll spawn right where the copper vein would normally be. If you haven't done much mining, all the veins respawn in the same spot, I believe the spawn timer is random. Thinking about it, I believe Silver is Rare for the Copper Vein, and Tin is the Uncommon for Copper. |

Tin and Copper are different types of veins.
Silver is the uncommon/rare for Tin depending on area.
Tin and Copper will never spawn in the same spot.

Yeah, that sounds right, now that I think some more on it. I have a crappy memory and it's been months since I've played my warrior (miner/smith).

Not all the time, in the Quarry in Westfall I've seen the same vien spawn Tin and Copper at different times, easy to remember as that was the first spot I ever found Tin (though there is some in the very eastern part of loc modan). I've also seen the rare silver vien appear in there but not at the same spot. |
