Man, what a great thread 
Forget the first few hours, how about the first week or two! That first month on WoW is the best imo, it was so fun exploring with friends and discovering all the new things WoW had to offer each day. It was magicaaaaal.
I actually started playing WoW just to mess with people on a trial account. I got my kicks occasionally by trolling on free MMOs, lol. I also wanted to see what all of the hype was about. As soon as I loaded up WoW for the first time though, I quickly became more interested in exploring than messing with people. The rest is history Started playing in BC.
My first toon was a hunter that later became my main. I didn't know about stats for certain classes, so I tended to try and balance out my amount of intellect vs stamina vs agility, ect. I also like my toons to look nice, so I often geared based on whether the shoulders were cool or if it matched. I remember questing in Darkshore and buying all the whites from the leather vender and thinking I was hot stuff in my matching quest gear. I wouldn't upgrade my gear when mobs dropped greens because then I would look tacky, and a green name didn't mean anything special, right? If It came from the area vendor then I was doing good! Lol.
I also often rolled on anything in dungeons that had stamina or agility, regardless if it was really a tanking item or not(I didnt know!). When the members of the dungeon group got angry at me, I couldnt understand why no one would let me have gear for my hunter, and thought that everyone was lying and just trying to keep all the stuff for themselves!
When I got that first 'this item will become soulbond' notification I was afraid to equip a green for the first time because I thought it would be stuck to me forever or something lol.
When I made my first toon, the hunter, I didnt bother picking up the starter quest and just ran on the path to explore. I got angry and frustrated when mobs in higher level areas would come out of nowhere and kill me. I thought, now what a stupid game where its near impossible to go anywhere!
On my first day, there also happened to be a very high level Horde in the night elf starting area who was walking around on his mount with his pvp on. About twenty of us level 1's, 4's, and 5's were attacking him and knocking off about 1% of his health every 20 seconds, haha. After a good 20 minutes, he finally turned around and wiped us all out.
