Tips?
Hints?
Talk me out of it?

biggest tip is if you aren't picking a server to play with friends/family select a server that shares your schedule for peak hours. otherwise, you may find yourself really frustrated later when the things you want to do require you to stay up really late or get up really early.
biggest hint is a double, 1) learn about addons and 2) learn about resources. the ui kinda sucks straight out of the box but you can improve it a thousand times over with addons. i like
wowinterface and
wowace. there are a lot of great out of game resources available depending on what you are interested in, but for general game stuff,
wowwiki.com and
wowhead.com have the answers.
i really enjoy the game so i'm not gonna talk you out of it either
it's a time suck, but there are great communities to be found as well if the social aspect holds anything for you. there are guilds (clans) centered around every facet of game play but more interestingly, there are a lot of guilds that have created communities that go beyond wow. i know a number of people who've transfered servers or rerolled just to join specific guilds because of the community they created.
