How do you dive under water ><;Follow
Title says it all... ><; halp!
X is I think the default "dive" button...
or you can move your camera angle to look down, then click both mouse buttons and you're character will move towards where you are looking.

it'll be the same controls when you get around to flying... whatever (X) makes you move down to swim deeper will make you decrease height when flying.
Mouse steering also works for flying too, both mouse buttons pressed to move where you're looking etc.

Holding down just the right mouse button and steering up, down, right, left, etc. works for both flying and swimming.
*feels like I should have had a newb warning in the title* I think I wanna crawl under a rock and die.
Don't be silly, that's nothing. You should have seen how long I played before I realized the talent pane had more than one tab.

I remember leveling Disc in Vanilla because I didn't see the other trees. Once I discovered them, I went Holy.
I use to think each city's auction house was separate. This was back before you could quickly and easily get to Stormwind from Darnassus and port to Darnassus didn't come until level 40. So I'd be riding around from Stormwind to Darnassus to Ironforge and back again just to try and get the best deal........
Well I played FFXI and ffxiv so I most likely would have done the same :). Thanks for the heads up :)

I remember a thread in this forum from back when Vanilla was in its early years about this topic (not the diving, but the newbie thing). It was basically a collection of aha!-moments and silly deaths. Like people discovering auto-run, falling off of cliffs due to auto-run, dying because they stood in bonfires while reading quest texts, etc.
Quite the hilarious read. This was back when we were all a bit green.
Please "talk up" if your comprehension white-shifts. I will use simple-happy language-words to help you understand.
I didn't know how to fly either and I started right around Wrath so I struggled sooooo much trying to keep up in the Oculus. It was almost by accident I realized that holding both mouse buttons moves you and after that it was like a completely different game.
; ; Gosh I felt like an idiot :p

I had been playing for 3 years before I finally had a toon at a level to obtain flying, so my first attempts at that were very poor, until getting some feedback from other players.
And still learning new things (for me), like after 5 years finding out this last weekend that using shift-click on a mailbox entry will automatically load all of those items into my bags. When did that get added? Certainly makes my "mailbox as a bank" handling between toons a lot easier.

Spooky, you should really get Postal if you haven't. It's one of the essential addons out there. It just adds a bunch of features to the mailbox. Features that, honestly, should have been in the game six years ago.
Including:
That's right, boys and girls. Click the "Open All" button and watch as Postal plows through your 50 mails, opening them, taking the contents within and deleting the mail afterwards. If you do any kind of mass transactions (like making lots of auctions at once, transferring lots of stuff between alts) you really, really want this addon.
Best part is that it doesn't mess with the default mailbox skin. It just adds some buttons and check boxes and that's it.
Including:
Quote:
OpenAll: Allows you to open all mails of selected types at one go in your inbox unattended.

To be fair, IIRC they WERE all separate at one point.

Agreed.
What would make it perfect for me is if the checkboxes acted as an "Open This" when you hit "Open" and "Exclude This" when you hit "Open All".
I'm thinking in particular about my scribe, whose mailbox acts as "bank overflow" for all my other toons, for example when my jewelcrafter gets her hands on more ore than she can prospect in the near term. So my scribe tends to end up with a mailbox divided between items with one thing she's interested in and items with twelve things that she isn't. "Open All" doesn't just overflow her inventory, it gets rid of the return address.
And if they already do work like that - this is my "D'oh" interface moment...

I know I'm going off topic but... Muneco, do you speak Spanish? I ask cause of your name :D. I recognize that el muñeco is doll in Spanish :)
Head first.

Ummmm, I still fall off cliffs and not even on auto-run. Mountains and I don't get along well. Of course I come by this "skill" from way back: my first created character in EQ would fall into water - any water: lakes, oceans, streams. Before I learned how to swim, I drowned a lot which, back in the day, was traumatic (long corpse run to regain items on corpse, usually dying again on the way to corpse, then trying not to drown *again* while looting corpse). When I reached level 20 and could get a surname, I chose "Aguamuerte" for her which, loosely translated into Spanish, means "Water death."
So now in WoW that "skill" has been translated into falling down any mountainside I'm on. And why is it so danged hard to find the path on mountains that goes...wherever? It's tempting to buy Cata just to be able to fly to those places.

Welcome to a good game Lillitha, I hope you enjoy your time in Azeroth. FFXI has a special place in my heart but WoW is an incredible MMO. Especially the first few months.

Heh, didn't think I'd expect to see you on the WoW side of Zam! Yeah I'm enjoying it so far. I play very very casually...something I wish FFXIV would have not ripped me off on...ahem I mean stuck to in their initial advertisement :D
Yeah I enjoyed XI very much, just life got busy and I needed a game that could cater to that business. So far I am very happy :D

Yeah I played FFXI when it came out on PC, took a vacation to play WoW at release for a few months, went back to FFXI until BC came out, went back to FFXI, etc. The only reasons I finally stuck with WoW were the time constraints of growing up.
