Since many in WoW are new to the MMORPG and I haven't seen it yet I thought I would introduce you to "The Bartle Test". Basically, all MMORPGers (or mudders) have four key aspects to their gameplay or goals. The four areas are Achiever, Explorer, Socializer and Killer. Different MMORPGs tend to attract different types of players. WoW probably atracts many players with high "Killer" quotents.
Anyway you can take the test at http://www.andreasen.org/bartle/test.cgi. My result from taking it just now (and it pretty much the same as it has been for over 5 years) is:
Explorer 86%
Achiever 53%
Socializer 33%
Killer 26%
