Noob Memories

[alucard001]

The first time i played Warr i didn't know rend was a time dmg ability.

So just seeing the icon i though "wow, this must be hit hard", so i used to kill mobs spamming rend.

The first character I made at release was a Orc Warlock, due to seeing a screenshot of one from retails beta. When I learned the fear ability I tested it on a mob while questing and saw that it bugged the monster and reset its health to full. Due to seeing this I never used fear on anything (not even players in pvp) until I had made it to the 40s and another Warlock shown me that it doesn't reset players health bars by dueling me.

So I pretty much played every Alliance persons favorite Warlock due to me never casting a single fear early on.

Getting lost in Exodar.

We've all been there. Haven't we?

I thought Stamina made you run faster/longer.

Luckily I was a warrior so I got away with it!

I remember asking a guildmate to enchanting my sword (I was a paladin at the time) with a glowing effect no matter what the enchanting was I just wanted my weapon to glow.

[cyklon]

Started a hunter as i transferred from CS thinking that i could make a sniper AWP and 1shot people.
My attack was Aimed/serpent/melee up to lvl 35.. I did not understand why i couldn't aim with aimed shot!

"free +3 damage to weapon enchants, it has blue glow effect! PST!"

[Doofoos]

Spended 2 weeks to get t0 mage gloves (for t0.5 quest chain), and disenchanted them instead of enchant And then, after some time, when i get second piece and finally get my t0.5 gloves, i got scammed on +20 frost spd mats

no matter what the enchanting was I just wanted my weapon to glow.

Sometimes it is still working for me that way Shiny wpn!

Yea, ninja memories during the first instance run.
"Hmmm.. This weird window popped that says need, greed or pass. Well i need money, so i need this thing so i can sell it. Need"
Flawless logic.

Preacher had a drama time where someone else had this idea.. Greed was the "bad choice" because it sounded greedy.

Played a Tauren Hunter and leveled all the way from 1 to 45 thinking that Survival was Meele Spec and went duel wield strength axes. At least I had a pet!

>.> Survival is technically Melee and Traps spec.


AS FOR ME

Posted somewhere else, but I had no idea of the quest journal's existence. My only experience with MMOs before that was Ultima Online, a Warcraft 3 RP server, and the DnD cRPGs (..ok, NWN1 was the only MMOish one BUT STILL). Now the thing is UO had no quest journal, just an ingame one that you typed up notes and such for. The DnD ones (save for NWN) were literally just a log of everything important you'd been told about a specific quest with no indication of if you'd completed it or not. Ultima proper (I-VII because fuck VIII and IX) had no in game journal PERIOD so any notes you needed would be written by hand in a notebook.

Which brings us to WoW. Second I saw that ! I went out to the garage and got more notebooks to fill with descriptions of every quest along with rumors and such overheard in either trade or NPCs.. or just clued to by quest text. And I still have all of them, 6 characters worth of notes and such (The Glorious Lock King wasn't around in Vanilla, he was added in BC thanks to BElves finally being added.)

So I must confess I started back in BC.
My very first character was a tauren hunter and I thought the whole npcs in the starting area were players and I started to talk to them. On level 3 I logged off and created a bloodelf mage and leveled up to level 22 by grinding amd questing in the bloodelf starting areas, then I explored that there is a map. I ran hours and hours to find out of the bloodelf area aad finally i found the portal to the pleaguelands. There was a npc with a skeleton instead of its level and I thought it was a boss. I've spend hours to try to kill it but I really could not realize why I can not hit it. I also tried to kill it from the top of a hill and I wondered why this npc keeps running away...
I gave this up and tried find a city. I spend days in pleaguelands and finally I arrived undercity. After I've arrived someone said me, that I could have used the portal in silvermoon and I was like "wut?"
Too nice experience
