Personally I would choose to do so, but only do so if you played world of warcraft before. Because I can tell you from my own experience that you'll get killed alot while questing/exploring. It's more fun to kill hordes etc.But when you just started you should choose for a PvE server, because that's much easier to train.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
