In terms of protective quality in terms of blunt force and weight, the mail is still widely used, and it is apparent that there are numerous reasons for this. It is adaptable, allowing it to cover areas where a plate would be difficult to protect. The mail is often heavier than an armor plate in terms of material. Because mail and plate armor come in a variety of thicknesses, there's some leeway here. Plate mail armor is frequently backed with chain mail, with the metal plates welded to the chainmail backing.

Mail armor is worn by warriors and paladins from when they first start until level 40 when they get access to plate armor. Shaman and hunters wear leather until 40 when they get access to mail armor. Although Death Knights start at 55 and therefore start in plate armor, they can wear mail armor, although that probably isn't a good idea as DK's are melee and need the armor to survive. No other class is allowed to wear mail armor.
