Greetings and welcome to WAR!
To guess some common questions and add a little bit of advice, play the class that you like the best is commonly said, but you must know that this is generally designed and balanced around group play, so keep that in mind. This games uses the general trinity of tank-healer-dps'er, with each class having three "trees" of talents to choose from as you advance, with each providing general support of one style of play (eg single-target/buff-debuff/aoe specs, or heal-single-target/dps/hybrid-stuff). This allows most classes (even healer or tanks) to have a good set of options.
The combat (realm vs realm, rvr, the traditional pvp stuff you'd expect) was divided into four groups back when this game was "Live", but has been condensed into two groups now. These were Tier 1, T2, T3, and T4, for each of the general level groups (1-10, 11-20...), but now is just T1 and T2-4. Make lots of alts in T1 and try them all out to at least level 11. This will give you a great overview of stuff and help you filter to your style.
Also, heals and tanks on both sides are always nice, but mostly just play what you want, you'll fit in.
Welcome, and hope to see you in the lakes (rvr lakes, pvp combat zones),
