World of Warcraft Online is a massively-multiplayer online roleplaying
game (MMPORG) that allows you, the player, to interact with other
players from around the globe as you complete quests, adventure, and
experience life in the World of Warcraft world.
One character you can choose to play is a paladin. These characters
are combination healer/warrior. As such, they can heal others, cast
spells, and fight against other characters and creatures. They are
truly fun and useful characters to play.
World of Warcraft allows you to play character races other than
humans. For the paladin, you could choose to be a human, dwarf, blood
elf, or draenei. You can also use most weapons and wear heavy armor.
Some great benefits of playing a paladin include summoning a warhorse
and being able to sacrifice yourself for the entire adventuring group.
At the same time, however, paladins are dependent on mana when they
fight. They also have a low damage per second rating and they can't
really use any range weapons.
There are many ways to play a paladin. You could choose to have your
paladin support the rest of the party by hanging back and healing. You
could also fight if necessary. But you don't have to stop there. You
can also play a tank Paladin where you spend your talent points in the
area retribution so that you can adventure solo.
Groups are very welcoming to paladins because of all their excellent
abilities. They are very difficult to kill and can help the rest of
the party immensely through healing, etc. However, realize that
attaining a high level paladin is very challenging and requires a lot
of time and
effort.

I don't know how long you have been playing or what level you are or
your paladin play experience in general but there are a few things I
would like to correct here.

1- They do not have a low damage output. In end game raiding a
decently geared retribution paladin can put out very nice damage.
2- The tanking talent tree is not Retribution, it is the Protection
tree.
3- Attaining a high level paladin is not challenging as much as it is
exhausting. For the first 20 levels leveling you have a very small
selection of offensive abilities to use while questing and instancing,
making it quite a boring experience. Once you hit 80 though, they are
very fun to play as they can fill all 3 roles very well, they are the
best single target healers in the game, the best aoe tanks in the
game, and a very good dps class. From personal experience, the hardest
part of maintaining a raiding level 80 paladin is keeping all sets of
gear up to date. Any decent raiding paladin should have sets for AT
LEAST two talent specializations, if not all three.
