Rumble, you hit it right on the nose.
There aren't really maps for Greyhawk that i've seen printed (But I could easily be wrong). It's essentially the generic setting that most D&D games are backlit with.

Wizards of the Coast calls it "Living Greyhawk", essentially because it's constantly being created by players and DM's alike. While the basics of the world are universal, DM's can make up taverns, towns, cities, regions, woodlands, oceans, rivers, countries, continents and so on and on. The world is endless and the details are up to us.
I'm partial to a port city with wilderness on one side, mountains to the north and something swampy to the south. Allows for lots of variety and flavor.
I DM'ed a campaign where my players were all trying to get to a massive metropolis called Tibier Collissi, but they were about a 9 month journey away from it and we kept getting into so many wacky adventures and detours along the way, Missed the good weather season through the wide mountain pass so got delayed even longer, and the game sorta fizzled out while we still had about 3 more months of traveling to go.
Our travels included a prison break (the story started with everyone in a prison tower as the local law enforcement was looking for a dangerous smuggler, who happened to be one of our players), Goblin mining tunnels, various miscellaneous towns, a graveyard crypt with undead, a slave encampment deep in the woods, Lots of long stretches of woodland roads with random bandits and wolf packs, multiple campfire encounters (including player against player fistfights out of boredom), Random hunting parties for food (that usually got out of hand), and fleeing for our lives from bounty hunters, (to which one of our players died valiantly fending off the enemy-law-enforcer-for-hire).
I still had some underground mountain tunnels, a snow capped mountain peak trek, a brief sea voyage, a long dead sorcerer's tower leaking the Ethereal Plane in to the Material one with cultic followers trying to bring the sorcerer back to life, and an encounter with a giant's garden trying to weed the plants and exterminate oversized ants. All these things were going to happen (and hopefully will if I can get all my players together again), and then we were going to start the campaign in the Big City.
Good times.

I want to playyyyy... so... the point system of the character creation is kind of confusing, but my question is, it's possible to have a half-orc paladin?! o0

Absolutely. You can have most anything. That doesn't mean it's effective, of course....

While I personally don't like to play Half-Orcs, I'd love, LOVE to be in a party with a noble, intelegent, Half-Orc Paladin. That would be awesome.

an intelligent half orc is always fun XD
So this means my campaign can be played then! It follows all the rules any how, I have a few home varents I can just throw out the door if the players don't like them as they are minor and in game related with no effect on the players stats... ^.^ The only problem is that the campaign is very indirect for a while as what the plot line is at the begining, and I don't enforce a single party all the time, Iv had two partys once thinking the other party was evil, with a few fights once or twice.

Do you have a campaign in mind for this? Seeking players? What sort do you need?

There is a questionnaire in the rules section, go ahead and send me that.
Out of curiosity, does anyone play the old World of Darkness games here, or have any desire to learn?

Never Played World of Darkness, I've got a friend who's told me a little about it. I don't think I have the time to learn anything new.
