My main piece of advice is...
...to play a Hunter.;)
Other than that, don't be afraid of green quests or green enemies, and traveling about to find them -- the game has a steep curve fighting stuff that's higher level than you are,I guess to discourage people from going where they shouldn't; so while it may be fun to challenge yourself by doing that, it's not too efficient in terms of leveling up. Bolty had a very nice early-power levelling guide somewhere.
The good thing is you can always freeze your account if you don't want to play and Bliz keeps it around, so you don't have to pay unless you want to.
I actually enjoyed the earlier levels of WoW and exploring the world, which is beautifully done IMO; but the PvE combat does get tedious eventually. Myself, I never got into playing through the longer and longer and tougher and tougher instanced dungeons, which are not soloable in any way, let alone raids (which I never tried); and that is really where you have to end up if you continue playing the game, I think. Then, for me anyway, it becomes both a chore to keep up with stuff and a bit of a feeling like you have to prove your leeetness , neither or which is so much fun, especially when you're as unleet as I am.
Too bad in some ways that Bliz really did end up following the EQ MMORPG mold with WoW, even if they implemented it in a much better way.
