Or even sent guild invites while you are on your bank-alt trying to go through your mail!

BTW I don't play a hunter anymore, I became frustrated for not being able to have every freaking pet available xD

I didn't know about the tram either, and swam along the coast from Westfall the Wetlands. Took half an hour :|

I am also one of the many who didn't know of the tram. When I died I stayed dead and ran all the way to the Elwynn Forest spirit healer, boy did I think I was smart. When I used the spirit healer, he put me back in the badlands. :-(

That was on my dwarf hunter who made it to level 17, then was sold of to make my mage.

Is it true that in the very beginning, there was no tram to SW from IF? If so, how did one get there?

I remember running into "Lag-Forge" for the first time and my computer sort of giving up. I think I was level 15 or so before I made it all the way around IF and then, it was another couple of levels before I said to myself, "I wonder where this goes?" I had a couple of quests to turn in in Stormwind but couldn't, for the life of me, figure out how to get there.

Talent points? What are those? What do you mean I can sell these greens I can't use in an "Auction House" and get more money? This nice guy here will take them. I can eat AND drink and I should? But if I stay in one spot long enough, the bars regenerate on their own.

Oh yeah, I look back and cringe. But, in a way, I kind of miss that wide-eyed innocence of all the things you could learn.

Originally the tram was supposed to take you from SW to Darnassus and back. That's why it's East-West and goes underwater.

Then Blizzard figured out that since Blackrock Spire stood between SW and IF... yeah.

Another proud swimmer here. Westfall to Menathil, and eventually on to Southshore.

I've embraced my swimmer heritage, and many of my characters swim from Theramore to Gadgetzhan, and the run south to Booty Bay is much less dangerous, if you head west and swim it instead.

i did the "fun run" from IF to SW on my first Nelf hunter. I also tried climbing up the mountains to get from Darkshore to Moonglade...

Another fun one looking back on it now, was that once i discovered the money sink that is the AH....i had this strange OCD-ness about buying new gear every 2 levels, just like my skills. Yah he was lvl 33 by the time i scraped him and had 2g to his name.

Swimming is always the answer, esp on a PVP server.

I did the same, only I couldn't have been above Level 10, and someone told me the easiest way to Kalimdor was through Booty Bay. So I made the walk. It literally took me hours to make, only later to learn that if I'd just gone a little west and ran past a few level 30 mobs I could have made it no problem.

Oh man ... that is just sooo sad ... no really, I mean it.

My warrior was my first ... a buddy helped me through my first 5 levels, telling me hoe to pick up quests, how to loot (why you loot ;->), how to sell stuff, how to repair ... how to use the damn Billy Club on the lazy Peons ... man oh man, it's insane how hard it is to realise how to "Use" items in you inventory on other objects.

With him explaining to me step by step, it still took me a full 5 mins to figure out what to do ... and even then, it only "worked" half the time ... I still didn't get it ;-)

Another thing I did was continuously hit the attack button ... not realising it has an Auto-Attack switch on an off button, so, in the first few levels, I don't think I actually did anything in terms of damage ;-)

Spent large amounts of money of armour from the vendors ... to the extent where I had similar Armour numbers to my buddy's level 30 Shammy, that was at level 12. I was then advised not to do that, and was also educated in the importance of stats, and how they are almost always better than pure armour values ;-)
