I'll see what I can do with these:
1 - Can I minimize WoW likw SWG so I can surf the net while playing?
I think there's a "windowed-mode" option you can enable from within the game. I'd confirm this but the beta servers are down for maintenance.
In any case, you can use your Windows key - I do that regularly to access my TeamSpeak console.
2 - Is there a way to see all my chat tabs like in SWG?
Some of the custom UIs that have been developed (i.e. CosmosUI) alter they way your chat window(s) appear. Aside from them, all chat shows up in the same window. You can, however, modify what is displayed and what is not.
3 - Do we have a "Horde" character server?
Nothing official yet.
4 - What class do you have to be to (a)gather herbs, (b)be able to skin animals, and (c) be able to mine stuff? Or can anyone learn these if they find the right trainer?
The activities you mention have more to do with tradeskills that classes. You need to learn the herbalism tradeskill to gather herbs, Skinning to learn how to skin and Mining to be able to pull ore etc from the earth.
Everyone can learn two tradeskills and all three of the secondary skills (cooking, first aid and fishing).
5 - How expensive is it to "travel" and where does one accomplish this?
The cost of the trip by gryphon (the only fee-based mode of transportation I have experience with) varies based on the difficulty level of the area you're traveling to. Travel to a low-end area is cheaper than traveling to a high-level mob area.
See ya in-game!
