Noob Memories

[biffsteken]

Not me, but my friend didn't do a single quest until level 46, pretty incredible that he actually could be arsed to just kill mobs to that level...

Came in lateish Vanilla from EQ and my first character was a Warrior. A gray piece of chainmail dropped for me and I lost my shit at how much armor it had. I was used to playing low level characters in EQ where newby tier armor had 1-4 armor, not 60-something. I assumed other games would use similar values and thought I had hit the jackpot as soon as I had started.

Started up on Burning blade EU a week after the first release date in EU. Ahh the memories, I started a human warrior! i died at level 4, I was a kid... i had bad english at the time.. and didnt know where to get to my corpse... i loged out and went on a new character! this mighty human warrior reached lvl 7! I went to discover the world! starting of with duskwood. I reached darkshire unharmed, but... how am i going to get back?.. i had no idea what a heartstone at that time was... so i logged out once more.. and made a new character the very next day.
Ahh yes it was my character to be i tought! a dwarf paladin! i reached lvl 11!... but... what's this?! i picked blacksmithing and engineering... how am i going to do mining?... Only one way out! ... DELETE! ... jupp... i did that and i laugh myself to sleep everytime i think about how noob i was back then.. but then the very next character... was my first epic adventure to level 60.. Best.. experience ever!

also came from EQ and realized that the leveling on WoW was MUCH less of a pain than on EQ. I eventually left EQ because as EQ got more shitty, I learned more things about WoW. Stuff like more balanced PvP, more mechanical and challenging (less zerging) raids, and 2 set factions. EQ will be forever in my heart as my first MMO and I'll never forget my 60 SK, but WoW is also a very great game.

- Found out about talentpoints at lvl 28. That's a WoW record?
- Found a green chest at lvl 13. Thought I have found a really treasure.
- At lvl 8, I constantly ran into Western Plaguelands only to get instakilled by the lvl ?? spiders and bears. I really had no clue.
- I didn't know anything about dungeons. I died many times trying to run through RFC, because I didn't know anything.
- I was a clicker for a very long time
- Ran my first dungeon BFD. I was keyboard turning for hard, ran in wrong directions, my pet was on aggressive and had growl on. I wasn't really popular, what a disaster I must have been. Later, I was kicked from the group - today I understand why.
- I was told to buy water for restoring mana. I bought it at the auctionhouse for a very high price. I wished I knew vendors sold it.

First time someone sheeped a mob, I attacked it thinking, "Oh, it's a sheep now! I can one-shot a sheep!" Oops.

I leveled my first char, a warrior, with def spec to level 60 (the struggle was real).

Then I collected full T0 and thought I'd be the best tank on the server (cause I was the first one to have the whole set).

I asked the first level 60 char I've seen what he is still doing now in wow, because I thought that is all you could achieve.

A level 60 quit the game and gave me 50g. I was "twinking" my 49 warlock and I decided to get 22 spirit on my staff instead of the 22 intel buff to confuse people that I had the intellect enchant so they would fear me since the other enchant was stupidly expensive.

This was probably 5 - 6 months before TBC release.

I started on private Vanilla server while retail was still Vanilla and not final patch so literally NOTHING worked.
- I was affraid to die, because I thought somebody could loot me
- When the notification ''World Saved'' appeared - I thought somebody just finished the game and saved to world
- Druid's bear ability Maul was so bugged that not only it didn't require any energy, but it didn't have global cooldown too, so the faster your fingers were, the more skilled you were.
- Polymorph didn't recover HP and it didn't break after damage was done, so it was the ultimate CC
And many many more
