I agree with thealt. I would like to add, though, that leveling up at least 1 character would help you understand the game better and learn all the little nuances of the class ... which becomes more important if you plan on PvP.
To me, WoW is different than any of the other games I've played (UO, DAoC, etc). I can see buying a character in any of those games without much thought, but WoW is very detailed. After a year of playing (this time) I am STILL picking up new things, almost daily. Ya, I'm a lot slower thinker than most of you young people, but I still think that to be a really good player one needs to know ones class inside and out, which is learned by long term practice. JMHO.
