Battlegrounds is incredibly fun -- at your level you can do Warsong Gulch and possibly Arathi Basin (not sure if there's a level minimum for that one). Alterac Valley is for level 50+. At least check out a game and see what it's like, you might get hooked, heehee. Some things you should probably know:
a) There are many more Alliance players than Horde, so you may have to wait in a queue for awhile to get into a bg. (My cousin, who is a dwarf priest, says that their wait time can average 40 minutes. As my undead priest, I rarely don't get in immediately. :D Of course, these are also different servers, and at lvl 60, so your mileage may vary.)
b) Some people have taken to 'twinking' out their low-lvl alts to pvp with. These are called 'twinks' (a term I only recently learned myself). Basically, they've got the best low-lvl gear they can get (blues and such), and put crazy enchants on them (that are typically only found on high-lvl players and gear). So if you come up against a Horde team with a glowing weapons and what not, don't feel bad if your team doesn't do well (unless they're twinks also). Hopefully you won't encounter this too much, and can play it 'normally.'
We're all in for this Friday. It's a triple-date! Haha. I think you and Amelia are close to the same lvl, so Jade and I just need to play I&B a bit to get them to 17 or so. (We'll try for higher if we can manage it.) We were talking about it, and lvl 17 is about the right lvl for the first instance of the game, the Deadmines (are you familiar with instances, at least theoretically?). So we might be able to try for that one, and you'll REALLY get your first taste of grouping with others (and doing one of the more fun aspects of the game). :D
Here are the Deadmines quests; we should probably all try to get all the chained ones done beforehand if we can, so that when we meet up all we have are the Deadmines quests.
I think the only ones that are chains are The Defias Brotherhood and Red Silk Bandanas. The rest we should just be able to pick up.
It may not be realistic to try to do this, but it'll have to be done eventually anyway. :D How much time do you have? An instance typically takes a couple of hours at least, and Deadmines is kind of long. And if we need to do any of the chains on Friday, will be even longer. Since we'll be meeting the *minimum* requirement for the instance, we'll definitely need to round out our group and get a 5th random player in with us. Hopefully they'll be cool.
I can't believe you already have alts! Heehee. My first char was a hunter. She's 60 now, but I rarely play her. I looooooove Tauren. They're so cute. How are you liking the druid? Jade's first char was a druid also. I've tried playing one, but for some reason just never took to it. And others just love it!
