Daze of Long Ago
Sylly has tagged me for a meme; recounting my experiences when new. Well, here we go:
- My initial character was a Shaman, because- and I kid you not, there were no other reasons- he got lightning bolts AND Reincarnation. He never levelled high enough to get reincarnation.
- I once managed to walk into the lava in Ragefire Chasm, and die.
- I got lost on the corpse-run back.
- I did not understand the concept that by the time my shaman could use mail, the level 14 mail I was getting in Wailing Caverns would be useless to me. (I was coming from Guild Wars, where armor is… much less of a factor than skill choice and gear, but still)
- My priest made six whole gold in pure profit on the auction house. I was thrilled.
- My priest had Of the Whale gear and I didn’t see a problem with that.
- Llanion (my second druid) was rolled because my then-level-48 priest kept getting killed by rogues in battlegrounds and I wanted a healer with better armor.
- My guild was short on both healers and tanks, so I specced half feral, half resto. Surprisingly, my group managed to do everything up to Sethekk halls at-level with me as the tank and healer both.
- I took Aldor as my chosen faction.
- My level 27 hunter almost LIVED in Warsong Gulch. I didn’t know Arathi Basin existed. (Despite this, I managed to get a PVP title on him)
- I got totally lost doing my Shaman’s Fire Totem quest, ended up at the Warsong Gulch entrance in the world. Horde Shaman are probably killing themselves laughing, now.
- “Hey guys, my druid’s bear form dances different!”
- Getting lost in Moonglade and having to use Teleport: Moonglade from the Moonglade to figure out where I was.
- Joining a raid to kill Omen as a level 40 priest.
I’m late to the party, so I’m not going to tag anyone, but please, I’d love to know- what’s your single most hilarious ‘newbie’ moment?





PUGing a maraudon group as I was a Warrior ~tank~ with a ~Corpsemaker~ (lookup drops in RFK), and remembering that the whole group thought we were OP going into the instance!
Do I have to mention the part where we wiped multiple times after and couldn’t figure out why I wasn’t holding aggro and our healer died so fast ~”BUT AND I WAS IN ARMS STANCE~!?”
lawl
