First few hours/days of WoW?

[zaxxo1]

So I was thinking back recently over my first few hours and days of playing WoW (on my nelf rogue), and some of the things I remembered about it were great For example, as a rogue I knew I had a stealth ability, and being a nelf, obviously the first thing I saw was shadowmeld. Having no idea what a racial even was, I thought it was my rogue stealth, and was really disappointed when I found it broke on moving As soon as I unlocked the actual stealth, I was so pleased

Anyway, just wondered if any of you guys have memories of your first few hours in WoW, were you as naïve as I was???

Oh yeah, i started playing LoL 2 and a half years ago when it was fresh out of beta. I was so confused with all those champions and the free ones that change every week, i was so glad when i found out you can purchase a champ and play it whenever u want

First time I played WoW, I was a mage BUT I thought it was a healing class..soooo everytime I played wsg, I would just spam frostbolt on players (which doesnt work at all)

It took my two friends and I a good 2 months to realize what healers did. Deadmines' quests were green for us and we were still wiping. We couldn't figure it out.

Leveling with only killing Striders in the Barrens. Untill level 23. I kept on killing them... For hours. Without getting anything. Eventually I realised you didn't get XP from grey mobs.

I used to cancel stealth and then attack because i didn't know about ambush.

These are brilliant guys, keep em coming so I feel like less of an idiot myself

I remember my first character was a warrior and I had the auto-attack on my bars like anyone else and I didn't have the lock tooltips on and I was playing with my cousin and one time I clicked it too much and I threw it off the action bars, long story short I thought I had lost my weapon and wasn't going to be able to play.

Why not lol... Melee orc hunt in the barrens killing the striders without a pet at lv like 20 dying. Didn't know there was quests or how to equip items so I think I was in starter gear as well >.<

The friend who got me into it played a tauren. I made an orc hunter and decided to leave durotar at level 5, and walked all the way to mulgore. After the 3 hour journey, corpse dragging my way through flocks of ornery plainstriders, he informed me that level 60's don't quest in Mulgore.

Being a noob was the best time ever, i don't get why new people rush to the endgame,

I had a warrior at the start of bc that i leveled up and gear was so hard to get, I remember entering TBC zones with gear from the scarlet monastery.

Regen was terrible, i had to eat after killing 2 mobs: solo leveling as a warrior was really hard.

I remember discovering what warlocks was and i was mindblown, that player had a pet who could tank better than me (tanking 3 mobs for me was a sure death with the terrible gear i had).

That warlock pet could tank more than me, his master was dotting everything, and even mining before entering in combat (his pet would aggro the mob guarding the ore). I was like "WTF IS GOING ON, IS THIS A JOKE????"

I tanked Karazhan, and then rerolled a warlock, which is my main till then.

Another funny story that i remember was that other warrior who was our tank and died all the time. I asked him what was the problem, he told me he had no defensive skills cause those are useless for levelling. Money was really a problem back then, you had barely enough to get your talents.

My first toon was an orc warlock in pvp server. I was keyboard turning and mouse clicking my way out starting zone heading to serjin village.
Think i was lvl8-9, i spot 2 alliances, paladin and priest, both 10-12ish near the shore.
i said to myself:"2v2, this is a fair fight"
It was paladin and priest vs warlock and my imp
i die repeatedly and wonder what went wrong.

Another one, happen same day.
i aggro too many mob and die. In panic, i didn't realise i accidentally hit the number pads "/"button.
after res, i saw my toon walk slowly. Said to myself, this must be a form of rez debuff for repeatedly dying..
And keep walk/level for another half an hour.
after realize something is wrong, i walk back to razor hill's inn and ask for help.
I didn't know how to use general chat.

Drowned my toon because i don't know how to swim upward.

Playing a Nelf Warrior back in Wrath, and getting mad, wondering why my charge ability wouldn't work when it was off cooldown, not realizing I had to be out of combat. Too proud to ask my Dad (He was a mage in a raiding guild, but he had been playing almost since WoW was released) for help. It took me about 2 weeks to fully know the game.

My first toon was a mage in Beta. I remember being mad as hell because I saw other mages running around shooting purple stuff, with a fire minion in tow, and I couldn't figure out how. I also remember my first time walking into Ironforge, hurting my neck trying to see everywhere in there; That place looked fucking huge the first time.

Back then undead horde were actually undead, so shackle, exorcism, etc all worked really well against them. Engineering was mandatory for pvp because bombs used to stun, not disorient, and for a really long time. Killing flight masters was actually possible, and a common tactic to trap opposing faction players in an area for pvp.

[Edit] I also remember later on during vanilla, when battlegrounds first came online, Alterac Valley lasted for literally days. Grinding rep in there for epics was easier than running BRS repeatedly, hoping for your underwelming helm to drop, or gathering 40 noobs to die repeatedly to lava spawns.

I ran out of the undead starting zone and started getting chased by aggressive mobs and I eventually died and looked everywhere for the spirit healer and couldnt find it so I kept running and eventually ended up in the plaguelands.

Another story is that Rahkzors Hammer hit higher than my bow so I attacked wih that on a Human Hunter.

 

[Oniyui]

I didn't know there were boats between the two continents. First time I got teleported to the darkmoon fair I panicked I wouldn't be able to get back and finish my quests in Kalimdor.

 

[Stamm]

I remember thinking i was rich after having 2s on an orc warrior...I got lucky and ended up with 2-3 6 slots bags by lv 6.

I sold shadowfang for 300g and equipped twisted chanters staff

Wow was my first mmo and I didn't understand the stats at all, so I took their names literally. Was happy to pick up a green +int piece for my rogue because having an intelligent character appealed to me, and made sure to eat food for a +stam buff before swimming because I figured with more stamina I could swim farther or something.
