you do not need to activate the accounts anymore, there were issues with tons of users not receiving the emails, so that part was taken out.
creating the account is OK and start connecting.
if you can not connect
make sure you are running the correct version of WOW,
make sure your realmlist is OK,
make sure you are not using addons,
there are some times that the server can be unreachable due to high amount of players, or a server disconnect/crash.
also, some networks are preventing connectivity, depending on the open ports and firewalls.
sometimes you will have to try to reconnect once or twice before it works.
