The things I've learned in WoW so far...Follow

1.) When asked to travel out somewhere that is literally 20 minutes or more from a friendly zone by a pickup group, make sure your hearthstone is recharged. Attempting to get out after using a half hour ability to get in is not fun.

2.) While fighting bosses with really cool loot, make sure master looter is on. Stops ninja looting.

3.) When preparing to do an instance that has quests attached to it, make sure the people you invite already have the quests or are willing to go in just for the xp/loot. Standing around 2 hours waiting for them to do it isn't much fun.

4.) Always sell your junk at inns to the bartender. Resetting your hearth point to the middle of nowhere is NOT COOL.

5.) Set your heart point to Ironforge or Stormwind. Easier access points to most gryph locations.

6.) All the cool places are in the other faction's zones. :)

I keep my hearth point set in Ironforge, not only for the easy Griffon access, but that is where the auction house is as well.

make sure it is a GROUP invite before clicking accept, and not a challange to a duel (for those NOT on PVP servers)

Heh, duels are there, if not more rampant, on PvP servers.

What have I learned......

1. I learned that a PVP can actually be fun, when the people you encounter do it in the spirit of the game. This is my first real pvp venture, and the alliance players that have killed me and the ones I've killed have been great fun.

2. I've learned that a 14 year old in PVP needs several swift kicks in the bum for not being able to play in the spirit of the game. Camping the druid npc in Moon is a weak excuse for PVP. My hat is off however to those that play it as part of the game and enjoy it.

3. Dead people, even when they are your allies are still gross.

4. Yes even the people that were a pain in EQ are given access to WOW and are even as we speak spamming the zones with garbage.

5. There is no such thing as a "pretty" horde toon.

6. Rouges are scary opponents, I'd rather face a warrior with a stick in one hand and a oven mitt on the other.

7. Plainstriders are onery.

8. Anything with thunder in it's name is sure to singe your hairdoo.

9. Trial of the Sea Lion will kill you, and it will kill you again when you go to fetch your body, who knew a corpse could suffer from fatigue (shrug) Plan to die getting the piece, just grab your piece and wait for the inevitable, go pick your corpse up and call it a success.

10. No.......taurens do not give milk, get lost monkey boy.

Do not take a pot shot at a flagged PC hunter that is 5 levels higher then you and plan on living through the experince.

Male night elves dance like they have cramps.

I'm afraind of the deep water off of coast of merchent shore, even though I have a Hunter quest in deep water off the merchent shore.

7 gold can be made in a day, but it takes a lot of work.

The AH system sucks when the person who auctions does not have a buy out price.

There is never a high level Horde in the Crossroads when a high level alliance person raids us.

I keep mine set to Kharanos so I can go both ways to IF from Loch Modan.

So does Party Loot... Uncommons and better get rolled on, there. The only loot systems I wouldn't want going into a boss battle are Free-For-All and Round Robin (unless it was my turn to loot, of course!).

Lost barrens kodo's may not be aggressive but they still are very tough. Kill them fast before they start with there endless stun ability.

Why do people always say this?

I think the reason is people just don't like big or have issues with non flesh tone colors.

Orcs may have tusks but they are rather well stacked and quite sturdy. Trolls have softer faces then humans, but otherwise have the same body type as a night elf. Tuaren have a very nice wiggle when they move, but I imagine the cow features turn people off. I will grant it is hard to find undead attractive but then they are rotting.

So honestly there are some very pretty horde toons out there.

PS: Or maybe I've just become mellow in my old age and stopped judging a log time ago.

PPS: Or maybe I'm just a perv.

1.) You can take a Thunder Kodo down even if it's 1-2 levels higher then you, but a regular Kodo WILL give you a run for your money even when it's 2 levels lower then you.

MajorMajorMajor knows what I mean.


2.) Falls hurt..... a lot.

1) After buying/selling, CLOSE the merchant window before right-clicking to equip your char with the latest cool gear. I lost 3 nice items that way.

2) Jumping off the highest cliff into Loch Modan while dead is fun.

More things I've learned...

* When jumping off of anything particularly tall, put power word shield on. It saves priests, hunters who ask for it, and kills gnomes who don't.

* No matter what you do, as a magic user, you will aggro things from 100 miles away. C'est la vie. :)

* Mounts rock. They save so much time.

* Gnome mounts don't pass emissions tests. *coughgag* :)

* Pick up everything, even grey stuff. You'd be amazed how much vendors will pay for grey stuff.

* Walking on water is all fun and games until a murloc gets cranky.

* Items that allow underwater breathing are useful for scouting and picking stranglekelp. Go hydrocane! :)

I have learned that it is easier in a group :)

1) You know that huge waterfall in the northermost tip of Teldrassil? Say hello to durability loss.

2) If a dwarf dose sleep, and a Night els sits in the right position, you get the idea. My friend and I have screen shots.

3) Swimming out far IS a good idea! Go for it!

4) Pressing ALT-F4 in game will give you 1 gold
