My first comment is a nice one :)
well i remember i made a bloodelf character and those guards were all around me. I started to talk with them and i got no answer. i was telling my self that damn these players are very proud.
and my second : I got my bear form and told my friends. one of them came and visited me. actually i never used bear form and my friend asked me why...then i told him that bear form sucks...i cant get any mana and use my spells....

Made most of the typical 'new to MMO/WoW' mistakes like having talent pts in all 3 trees, wearing any gear i came across, especially if it was blue, regardless of stats...
the most memorable, was the first "real" raid i did at max level in WotLK. I was asked randomly while standing around Dalaran to heal OS10. My brother came online (veteran player) and i asked if he could join and he did.
Shortly into the instance, there was a shaman who kept screaming at me to decurse. I had no idea what his problem was. Finally my brother whispered me and told me I had to decurse the cursed players and how to do it. I didn't even have decurse on my bars O.o
Before we started, I also asked him if I had to heal all 10 players or just those in my party. He told me all of them. I then said, "I can't even see them!" and he told me how to pull out the raid frames to be able to see all the players instead of just my group.
:p Fun times.
My brother has a lot of patience, thank god! :D

posted this in another thread, but. I come from EQ, still play both games, off and on. But, anyway, on EQ generally to get xp you go find a camp of mobs where one with a name pops (think rares, I suppose), and wail away at them as you get levels.
First time I played, I played an Undead warrior. Little bit down the road there was a camp of zombies with names. I'm more or less grinding for xp, as that was what I was accustomed to. Idea of questing for xp was pretty foreign to me.
I saw this camp, ran over, and chain-killed the zombies for like 30 minutes. Wondering the whole time why there was no loot from them. Eventually realized I should quest, picked up the quests, and got the quest to run back and kill them. Got a couple levels just killing them, though.

I remember not understanding that gold the highest currency, and I thought that selling my copper bars for 4 copper a piece was the best I could do. Then I realized that the AH was there for profit. Derp.

ermm.. probably from the first dungeon I was ever in (Deadmines ftw) when I started playing, I made a Paladin and thought it would be a great idea to try using Repentance on the boss (whom I thought was just another mob) while the group was dealing with the previous trash, a wipe ensued. The group wasn't pleased. :3

I have huge history of foolishness in WoW. What is called "noob"....no wait "pro noob" - that was me. I dont know how to start so lets start from beginning. Sorry for long+crappy English post. All story belongs to WoLK times. I dont think so people will read this long post but still wanna share....so on the topic.
I played Warcraft III so had been curious what happened next in story so I bought WoW online and I had no idea what the hack is MMORPG. I made human warrior but before level 10 I deleted it because I dont know how to "charge" + dying too much from murlocs. Meanwhile I saw one rouge killing stuff so fast and he didnt die single time.
So next is human Rouge - liked it very much. Now its dungeon time so in 1st dungeon I needed on each stuff -> got kicked 4 times in raw. Until level 34 I didnt understood looting system so I had passed all stuff. I dont know how to make good talent tree so placed points in all three specs and hoping as I level up all talent might filled up. People calling me noob, ninja etc. but I didnt know meaning of these words so lets continue leveling. Many classes doing 300% more dps than me by aoe like volley, blizzard etc. and I dont have single aoe. Anyway disappointed by class I have chosen now time to reroll.
In one dungeon...
Caster dagger dropped and someone told me rogue use dagger so dont need on other weapons. So I needed...on dagger.
Party Member: Ninja
I was quite because I didnt know what is meaning of Ninja.
Tank(female warrior): Rouge you are Ninja
Me: Yeah baby I am Ninja (I thought rouge looks like Japanese Ninja-with my bandit mask so they called me Ninja)
Dungeon was over so noone can kick me. They asked to trade to caster and explained me what was my mistake. After trading they said some F word and they happily left party.
Huntard time. Yeah I choose hunter only for volley. When I trained volley I was doing ninja pulling intentionally so I can use volley. If tank get angry - no problems; I have used only volley even on single target with aspect of viper. I noticed tank get so much priority and respect in dungeons so screw hunter now time for tanking.
Paladin - so much OP class for leveling. Tanking means hold agrro -thats it and I did that job very good in retri/prot/holy spec until level 30. Many people told me to quit tanking so I thought its good idea to stop tanking for while. Now I realized there is three different type of spec for purpose. At level 40 I made prot spec - still didnt dare to start tanking again. Just dpsing in prot spec without RH fury. One tank raised issue because I needed on tank gear as dps - well I am dps in prot spec so I can also need on that gear. Tank won roll and I got kicked before last boss.
Now its too much for me. I am good gamer and how can I suck at this game? Google helped me to make proper retri spec and which type of gear should I use at my level. I saw one warlock asking for help in hellfire area for quest kill Demonlord or something. I had quest so made a party and I soloed him. I feel like "omg now thats called something gaming." After that not much problem until level 80. Most of time I was top dps in most dungeon - god bless "old divine storm"
Still I wanted to try tanking but too much scared. One of my warrior friend helped me a lot. You think help means giving tips verbally etc. Nah not that type of help. He showed me how to tank each WoLK dungeon. Before each pull he whispered me how to pull?, different thing to notice in each dungeon, how to deal with different high agrro class etc. He showed me all stuff practically. Now time to tank but still "no" from me. We both went to dungeon as tank. I pull as main tank if something screw up he will take over my tanking- that was deal. My poor friend got kicked many times because he was tanking as dps and whispering me before each pull took too much time when he was tanking. After few days of practice many people said you are good at tanking+you are fast too.
Well thats me /flex

I started playing more or less in mid vanilla with a friend's account because he had stopped playing. Anyway, I made a war and started killing stuff.
1: I chose prot as my leveling spec.
2: I used a lot of gold(silver) on guns and used them to pull with because you don't take dmg when you are standing at range and shot.
I did manage to get him to lvl 60 and later 70 and 80. How I got him to 60 is still a mystery to me. I got him to 70 just to transform motes of earth to something more expensive.

I Mass Summoned my entire 25-man raid once to their deaths because I did it too close to the edge and they all fell off when they accepted. I'm not ashamed or embarrassed. I laugh lots.

on my Hunter way back during my leveling days...
No surprises there, I guess.

On my first character, while questing through Redridge, I stumbled onto Burning Steppes. That spider was big...oh so big...

When I first started playing I thought repeatedly clicking the mob made you autoattack faster. So when playing my rogue, I just spam right clicked whatever I was attacking and spammed sinister strike on the keyboard.
