So, you've decided to play WoW and suddenly you get in game and realize this is far more involved than you anticipated. You have purchased the game or downloaded it for the free trial and now you have many decisions to make.
Your first decision is: What server do I choose?
Choosing a Server
This seems like it should be a simple process but when you get right down to it there are a lot of reasons to choose (or not choose) certain types of servers. If you have a real life or gaming friend that already plays WoW you will definitely want to join their server so that you can interact with them.
PVP: If you want to run around killing players from the other faction all the time you would be looking for a pvp server (though this may not be as fun as you think).
Normal Servers: Most players choose a "normal" server (not strictly PvP or RP). There are plenty of opportunities to enjoy both PvE (player vs. environment) AND PvP (player vs. player) on these servers giving you the opportunity to have a balanced gameplay.
RP: I actually have not tried an RP server, and for most of us who like to just act/talk normally this isn't an option we consider. But if you are into role playing and would like to "become" your character everytime you play (taking on all the nuances of race and class and acting accordingly - likened to simply leaving the real world behind completely).
Conclusion:
Usually the newer and lower population servers are listed first on the realm options screen. Choosing one of those is typically a fine place to start. If you find you hate the server a few hours into the game just try a different server.
You can have a total of 10 characters per server on a total of 5 servers.
