There is nothing wrong with asking for help - unless of course you have made absolutely no effort to find the info yourself!

This applies both in game and on this forum.

Answers to most of your out-of-game WoW questions can probably be answered on Blizzard's main WoW page. Questions about things like "How much does the game cost?" clutter the forum.

Answers to questions in game are often right in front of you. For example - quests almost always include directions. At the beginning, those directions usually lead you to *exactly* where you need to go!

Happy Hunting!

And don't forget to just try playing the game and exploring a bit. It's not a big deal if you don't know how to get to _______. Ask someone in game or talk to an NPC. All the answers are right there. You just have to talk to someone in the game.

Oh and it's probably best if we don't have a single message from every user saying "I got it and I'm installing it! Wheeeee!"

Excitement is great. But don't wet the carpet.

Unless it's on fire. Urine works, but you really should find some water or a fire extinguisher. Honestly people, burnt carpet plus urine is a bad, bad, smell.

I have to say this was the most anoying thing I experienced while playing the beta, some people grab a quest then imediatly start asking for help..

The info has and will always be in the quest info. Read people dont be lazy. This is an online game not a console game designed for 20 hours of play then your done. Take your time enjoy, explore, OMG quest even...But most of all have fun.

Because there are alot of players on the world next to the american gaming community ;) Don't expect everyone to speak your own language fluently.

It's bloody amazing on it's own that most americans can only speak their own language. I am from europe and I speak dutch(fluently), french(reasonable), german(reasonable), english(fluently).

And yuo knoew it! It no problum for me to propply spaek enlisj! :P

I personally have no reason to speak another language, I would if the states next to me spoke another language like the many small countries do over in Europe, but they dont...Although if I did go to Europe I would at least try to learn the language, it seems only fair.

Yeah ofcourse that would be only fair. But i was just saying it wasn't that weird that someone makes an error like that ... guild / guide is easy to mix up ;)

I just felt that he was overreacting there a bit...

Yeah, I loved that. So I have an undead character just starting out, and over the General I see "where's the goldmine for that spider quest?"

I literally parrot back the information in the quest log it gives you ("to the northwest of the starting town") and then hear "ah, thanks, I found it."

Sheesh. Apparently some people are so used to quests being insanely vague *cough*FFXI*cough* that they can't be bothered to simply read what they've been told to do.
