OK, I played WoW last night for about 1.5 hours, and I'm at level 5. Some questions.

1) When I buy or loot stuff it seems to go into my backpack. If I open up my character screen at drag some items from backpack, does that mean I know have these items to use? And if so, there are multiple items for armor and stuff, so how do I see my total armor/attack values?

2) Will I have to repair some things I have on me? Seems the durability values drop. Does this effect the + I get from the weapon?

3) Looks like some quest givers show up as higher level experience. Does this mean anything?

4) How do I get/practice a skill (skinning or whatever) and a production.

5) How can I fish?

6) I did join shadowmoon, PvP, but I'm still at the home town place. When is it OK to start going out into the world? And how would I find some of you guys?

I must say I like it so far. I did 3 quests. Kill 10 rat type miners, kill 10 wolves, and kill and collect bandits rags. Do the quest givers at the home base ever run out of quests or do they keep giving quests?

Your character screen contains equipment slots and your total stats, including armor.

Once an item drops to 0 durability, you gain no benefits from it any more until you repair it.

?

Buy them from trainers (ask a guard for location) and use them.

RTFM.

When you run out of quests wherever you are. If you pay attention, you'll notice that there's a "trail" of quests that leads you from location to location at the appropriate time.

It says if you hover over an item. If it's red, it could be because you're too low level, or because your class can't equip that item.

I did human warrior, your talk about killing warriors easy made me want to take the challenge . My name in game in Allegrorick.

Level 6 right now.

That wouldn't be very nice now would it

Why in the world would anyone report it. People should be concentrating on their own game and not worry about other peoples names.

Because your name disrupts my game. It breaks immersion, but most of all, it's against the naming policy. Did you even take time to read it before creating your character?

X-G, I hope you are kidding. This would be like suing someone because they have a weird hat on and you fall down some stairs because you were busy looking at the hat and didn't watch where you were going.

Are you even listening? I didn't make this up. Blizzard did. Click that link right now and read it. I for one am happy about it, because it means I don't have to look at stupid names all day.

I don't see why it should be against the naming policies.
It's not even a real world reference. It's not a sentence. Allegrorick (with the prononciation given above) is perfectly valid.
And he's on a PvP server not a roleplaying server, so why bother? And he doesn't affect your game (since he's not on your server) so please place your thumb in an orifice of your choice and smile.

I'm getting impatient now! WoW sounds so involving and deep, if my copy don't arrive soon I'll go insane! Argh!

(Will 'Kid' be an appropiate name?)

Well, he could report himself. According to the naming rules, he would be assigned a temporary name which he can change via email. Neither character nor account would be banned.

Right clicking items in your backpack or various other bags will equip it. Hover over an item to get stats and find out where it will be equipted.

And the values never decrease, but they will be ineffective once durability is 0. You need to go to certain vendors (Armorsmith, weaponsmith, usually have it) to repair it. Check the bottom of the buying window.
Don't forget to get as many quests as you can. I think you're in Northshire, right? If so, you'll find some real quests in Goldshire, to which you'll be lead soon by the quest chain in Northshire.
And get a group when you do the quests from Goldshire. And don't forget to train. And don't forget to sell your junk. You'll need the money.
