Everyone starts somewhere.
Welcome to the Wowhead Beginner Guides
, the first stop in your exciting journey to Azeroth. Join us as we walk through the basics of World of Warcraft.
In this guide we will help you create your first character. You will get acquainted with Realms, Factions, Classes, and Races as well as character customization and the character creation user interface.
If you need to know how to create an account, purchase, download, and install the game, check out our previous Beginner's Guide:
Wowhead Beginner Guides: How to Download and Install World of Warcraft
.
Once you have your account setup and the game installed, it is time to go to Azeroth! Press
Play
to start the game.
Getting Started
Since this is your first time playing, you will start on the Character Creation screen. You can dive right in and create a character...but let's back up a bit and talk about some game systems first.
Choosing a Realm
Note: If you are on your own and don't have friends who play, you can skip this section. You might want to skim through it so you know what the deal is, but there is likely no reason for you to need to switch Realms.
World of Warcraft has a concept called
Realms
for dividing players into population groups. The idea is that if everyone who played WoW was all in the game at once, it would be super crowded, very laggy, and generally difficult to play and have a good time. To solve this issue, Blizzard set up multiple servers so that each person can play the game in an environment where there are other players, but not too many other players. Each Realm is a different server and the players on each Realm can see, interact, and play with each other. If you want to play with someone on a different Realm, you can, but we'll get to that in a minute.
When you Play for the first time, the game automatically picks a Realm for you, and starts you on the Character Creation screen. If you prefer to pick your Realm you can do that by clicking the
Back
button. At the top right of this new screen you can see which Realm you are on. The
Change Realm
button is directly below the Realm name. Click that and you can see a list of all available realms in your region. Notice that there are different Realm tabs at the bottom of the window; if you are looking for a particular Realm it might be under a different tab.
Notice that there are different types of Realms:
Normal
, and
RP
.
Normal
: A normal realm without any special rules.
RP
: RP stands for Role-playing, those realms are tailored for people interested in role-playing with their characters.
Why might you want to change your Realm? There are two main reasons.
If you want to play with a friend.
If you are primarily interested in Role Playing.
If neither applies to you, don't even worry about it! Move on to Character Creation...
Once you find or decide on a Realm, select it on the list and click
Okay
to connect to it.
Playing With Friends
If you are starting your adventure with someone else, you should both select the same Realm for the best experience. This way you will be able to see and interact with each other by default.
If you know someone who already plays the game and you would like to play with them, ask them which Realm they are on and make sure that you join that Realm too. Also ask which Faction they play - more on that in a minute.
Creating a Character
Now it is time to create your character! There are three primary choices that you need to make:
Faction
,
Race
, and
Class
. These are important because they dictate how you will interact with the game and with other players. Faction and Race can be changed for a price, but Class is a
permanent decision
. The only way to change Class is to create a new character.
Faction
This is World of Warcraft and that means that there needs to be a war. For players, there are two factions in this conflict:
The Horde
, and
The Alliance
.
Picking your faction is a major choice because players playing in separate factions cannot interact with one another in a peaceful way. This includes both chat and other social activities, including forming groups to complete objectives. If you want to play with friends, make sure you join the faction that they are affiliated with.
The
Alliance
and the
Horde
each have different backgrounds and stories, and are divided along racial lines. Which faction you choose will dictate where you play, who you play with, and what Races you can play.
When World of Warcraft first started, The Alliance was what one could describe in RPG terms as the Normal Races, while the Horde was the Monstrous Races. As time has passed, that line has become fuzzier but still serves to give a general idea of what the divisions are.
The Alliance
The Alliance is the Blue Team. They are under the leadership of a king who lives in the City of Stormwind in the zone of Elwynn, on the continent of the Eastern Kingdoms.
The Horde
The Horde is the Red Team. They are governed by a council from the capital of Orgrimmar in the Durotar zone, on the continent of Kalimdor.
Race
Within each faction, you can pick from seven different races, Alliance players can be
Humans
,
Dwarves
,
Night Elves
,
Gnomes
,
Draenei
,
Worgens
or
Pandarens
, while Horde players can be
Orcs
,
Undead
,
Tauren
,
Trolls
,
Blood Elves
,
Goblins
or
Pandaren
. Each race can only be certain classes, so picking a race will limit which class your character can be.
There are other playable races in the game, but they are unlocked through gameplay and you won't have access to them immediately.
Class
There are twelve different classes in World of Warcraft, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. As a new player you can select any class but Demon Hunter or Death Knight, which both require that you already have a level 10 character before you can play one. You can learn more about each class by hovering over its icon on the character creation screen.
For more details on each class, what they do, and why they may be the class for you, check out our comprehensive guide on the topic:

.

The Character Creation Interface
The Character Creation Interface is very straightforward.
Alliance races are listed on the left.
Horde races are listed on the right.
You can switch gender using the buttons in the middle at the top. The gender of your character doesn't have any influence on what it can or cannot do in the game, it is purely cosmetic. Pick whichever model appeals to your character fantasy the most!
At the bottom of the screen you can see the classes available for you to play for the race that you have selected.
Pick a race, a class, and a gender. When you are ready, click the
Customize
button.
Customization
There are hundreds of different character customizations to choose from, depending on which race you selected. You can change hair color, fur color, skin color, markings, eye color, accessories, and more.
Click the icons above the selection pickers to see more options. Some races have a lot more options than others.
Character Name
On this screen, you must also select your character's name. This name must be unique on the Realm you're playing on, plus there are a few names that cannot be used due to some restrictions. World of Warcraft is an established game with a lot of players so sometimes getting the name you want can be challenging. If your name is taken, don't be discouraged. Try alternative spellings, or make up a name. If you are feeling out of ideas, try the Randomize button, sometimes it can be just what you need to spark a good name idea!
Once you're done, hit
Finish
and your character will be ready to go.
What Now?
You have:
Learned how to change Realms
Learned what you need to do if you want to play with friends
Chosen your class, race, and Faction
Customized your character
Chosen a unique character name
Created your first character
When you're ready, hit
Enter World
.
