I was in Blackrock Depths, and we were sneaking past a mob on the side of a huge bridge presiding over a vast moat of molten lava. Guildy was commenting on the game being unrealistic, and said it was so bad that i could try to jump off the bridge, and an imaginary "wall" would catch me and keep me safely on the bridge. After consulting my raid party about this rumor, we decided to test it... =D

You know, I didn't understand talent points until I was like 20+. Then my lvl 38 friend said to me, what do you specialize in in TP. I had no clue. Then i immediately used them all just every where. I had enough money to unlearn them eventually. I had to read more about the TPs for locks. Now I use them every other lvl. So don't forget they exist. I'm still learning about using Spells, which ones to use and which ones to avoid wasting money on.

We were all newbies at one point. Thats what makes the game Interesting.

And Stop Hating The Locks!

Oh boy... /sigh... In my second profile, Banefalkion, I got to a mountain range somewhere after Sen'Jin. I climbed to the top and thought that there was water below, so I jumped. Landed on stone instead of water, so I lost more than half of my health.

Well, I finally get to water, and I see another bit of land on the other side, so I start to swim. Halfway, I'm EATEN by this...thing... And I die the same way again before finally reaching land.

I reach land, and I walk through a few bushes to see a human player. Right now I'm thinking, "HOLY ****," because he looked like a higher level. I was only level 5 by then, by the way. Then my friend reminds me that I'm on a PvE server.

I travel farther inland and find myself in THE BARRENS. I haven't even heard of the barrens yet, so I decide to go kill some beasts. I get killed by a beast only ONE LEVEL HIGHER THAN ME. This happens several more times before I decided that my corpse was way too far away for my patience.

I talk to the spirit healer, but by the time I read that something would happen to my equipment, it was too late.

My weapons had obviously lost all durability by then, but I had thought that my weapons were gone for good. I was MILES away from any cheap shop to get new equipment anyway, so I deleted Banefalkion.

When I got on my next profile, I didn't know that you could sell the grey items that I often found after killing a beast (Cracked egg shell, Broken boar tusk, etc). I also never made more than 1 silver before I knew this.

Now I have too many profiles:
Drakan, lvl 8 undead warrior
Kiona, lvl 11 tauren warrior
Tremmor, lvl 4 undead warlock
Oreilio, lvl 10 troll rogue
Xanthias, lvl 5 human paladin

I GOTTA MAKE UP MY FREAKIN' MIND!!

When i first got WoW, i made two characters on frostmourne (an aussie server) i made two chars on there, got em to level 14, then my bud says "hey! i made some horde chars on Khadgar!" so i deleted my frostmourne chars and go to khadgar, raise some chars (they are my mains) and then my bud says "hey! I switched to aegwynn and made a pally!" So, i make an ally on Aegwynn, human pally, raised to level 10, i deleted him eventually... i made a couple different characters including a dwarf hunter, which i got to lvl 14, a NE rogue, level 11, a druid NE, level 12, a gnome mage lvl... well... i kinda gave up after hearing what gnomes sound like. so I did all this and kept my hordies on khadgar... then my friend says "hey! i made some allies and hordies on Runetotem!" But I'm done there. Unless i max my current chars, im not going to runetotem

I didn't know until my 30s that the shield next to an alliance NPC would flag you. I had not PvPed much (mainly shooting at alliance tools attacking XR) so when I was in desolace at lvl 33 I kill this elven npc in thunder axe fortress. Instant flag. I had no clue why so I asked in general and some nice lvl 60 explained it to me. Then a lvl 60 alliance paladin came rolling through about 2 minutes later and explained it to me the hard way.

I had only been playing a few days when I got my blacksmithing skill and some copper ore. It said something about "requires forge" to make it into a copper bar, so I went around asking everyone where I could buy a forge. Most everyone laughed at me, but no one would tell me what to do, 'til one guy felt sorry for me and told me a forge was a giant furnace. I thought, "Heck, why can't I just carry that around!?"

My first char with my trial account was an orc warrior. I had seen my flatmate play his shammy and got bummed when I realised my rage bar dose'nt regenerate by drinking water/over time.

At level 17, doing RFC I kept rolling NEED for all the items since it sounded better than GREED, which sounds like you are greedy. Got yelled at and realised eventually :D. Also, got kicked out of group as I kept pulling without letting spellcasters mana up just so I could use my rage :) They kept telling me in the chat ( which I was'nt reading ). I think we have a winner !! :p

Also, since you cant use the AH on trial accounts, at level 20, my char had most Vendor (White) Items with no stats whatsoever.
I kept wondering why I keep losing duels :)

It's hardly being an idiot when you got no clue what you're doing. Watch your tone, will ya'?

It took me two hours to navigate Stormwind the first time. >.> I'm such a hick. Still takes me the better part of an hour to figure out how to go where I'm going when navigating the Under City. No sense of direction here.

Kept running off the darned bridges in Stormwing. And drowning. A lot. Probably gave everyone who witnessed it a good laugh.

Live and let learn.

Oh, and my sister and I share an account. Two nerds with an excess of time on their hands and one account is just a little cut throat.

at around level 5 I wandered into the barrens and instantly got attacked by thunderlizards, I ended up running around in circles till I died. Then I had no idea what to do as a ghost (the minimap was closed) so I ended up making it to felwood before giving up on that character... I never knew what happened to it... forgot what server it was on...

Upon logging on to wow for the very first time, I didn't know how the chat channels worked either, and I only figured out a couple of emotes. Whenever someone would talk to me the most I could do was stand there and wave at them like an idiot.

My friend made a Tauren Druid and EVERY time he played him he would die all the time. I tried to give him some basic advice like if you're being killed RUN! but that was "dishonorable" to him. I also told him to heal himself atleast, but his reply was that he could not waste all of 1.5 sec (or w/e the cast time druid heal is) to cast heal while being beaten up on. He eventually took my advice.

one newb moment of my own was when I made a Dwarf pally. I got him to around 12-13 and was in that town directly south of the wetlands. Well, I found the tunnel that lead towards thw wetlands and came to a HUGE cliff. Naturally I took a dive off of it b/c it was so tall. I had messed up my jump though and landed halfway down on a small peice sticking out. I then ran to my body to res and over jumped my body and did not res on the way down. I was too far down to reach my body and did not know how to get back up. I was stuck at the bottom of the mountain for about 2 hours running around as a ghost trying to find a way up... I never found one, had to delete my guy.

oh yeah, I also thought it looked fun to swim in the huge forge in IF

1 thing I still catch myself doing even at lvl 49 is forgetting to put the new rank of a spell on my action bar. So the next rank I get (you know, 6 levels later), I am surprised to discover I'd been using the lower ranked spell all that time. doh!


Another memory I have -- going through SFK, it was a pretty good run, but I was afraid to being seen as this dreaded "ninja" thing I was hearing about. So I would roll greed on items my priest clearly needed, or pass altogether. One guy in my party, though nice about it, yelled at me for not rolling need! I felt like such a newb.

I hadn't been playing WoW more than an hour or so when someone came up and HIT MY MOB!

If I'd known how to say anything, send a tell, make an emote, talk, I would have SO chewed them out.

A little later in the evening, I figured out how to talk. Then I thought I had stolen someone's mob by hitting it after they did. I apologized profusely, healed them up and cast what-ever buffs I had at that lvl range.

Good times, good times.
