I use to hate the idea of PvP but I gave it a try and found out something, I'm a jerk and I love being one. Nothing like laughing at someone you defeated then dancing on there body it just gives me a warm feeling in my cold black heart.

I prefer PvP because it gives a little more realism. If on a PvE server an alliance and a horde meet up, they might as well not exist for each other. There's no interaction, and both are shielded behind that blue nick.
Doesn't mean in PvP that you have to attack on sight. But just knowing that the interaction is possible changes a lot of things. You're aware that that horde player might attack you at any time, but on the same chance, he might just be calmly looking at the situation.
Just brings a little more into the game.
I understand where you’re coming from. And I know a lot of people feel the same way. But by nature I don’t like conflict. If WoW was only presented as a RPG war game of alliance vs. horde I wouldn’t be playing it. So while I agree that two members of the opposite faction not having the option to force one another into battle is not very “realistic†given the politics of the world, that restriction is what makes the game fun for me. I don’t like games like Risk for the same reason. I guess I just want everyone to get along. *smiles* Well, this is a fantasy world.

My problem with PVE is it removes the tension of "Horde versus Alliance". The Warcraft series has always been about... well... war! While I don't enjoy corpse camping, there is something very exciting about battling for resource nodes or rare monsters; PVP out in the world is very different than in a battleground and far more exciting. Complaining about PVP would be like playing Warcraft and complaining when the other faction attacked your poor peons trying to harvest gold and lumber =P
I’m not against PvP. Honest. It’s just not fun for me. While you find the tension exciting, I find it a complete turn off. That might explain why I never played the original Warcraft games. I have played a couple of games where the goal is to build up your resources before the other side built up theirs and attacked you. But the only way I played them was in god mode where I stuck them on a tiny island in a corner while I went about happily building cities. That’s what I found fun. I didn’t enjoy attacking the “enemy†or having them attack me. *shrugs*

OK. Thanks for the feedback all. i think im ganna start again on a PvP server. I think the whole attacking thing is a little bit more exciting. The PVP battle side seems a little to formal, a bit like the GUILD WARS game, which i did buy, but seemed to be a complete copy of WOW. (in some sense).
I think you’ll have a good time. Though WoW is not perfect it is the most stable and best put together MMORPG I’ve ever played. Once you decide on a class, you may want to do a bit of research on spending talent points. Most classes play very differently depending on which talent tree you spend your points in.
