Yes. >_<

They give you a name generator in game! All you do is click it until you find a name you like if you are too busy/lazy to think up your own.

Whoever came up with /train must die ...

Yeah or that /fart command.

Dude, I am totally going to try those two out now... :)

/train is pretty annoying though... "woo woo!!" ::)

It's acceptable when everyone's riding the Deeprun Tram. But that's it. :)

So, are most of you on Shadow Moon? I assume there's no way to transplant a character from one realm to another?

I was wondering that myself. Also are all servers the same world, or are they all different? It would really suck to have to start all over when you go onto another server.

========================================================
Actually I think I'm a tad ugly, but some women disagree, mostly Asians for some reason.

Technically they're all different, cause they all have different people in them, but physically they're all the same. However do note that depending on the race/class you pick you'll end up in different areas of the world, and you'll do different quests (until you get to the high level, general, quests).

And I don't know of a way to transfer characters.

Anyway, slightly on-topic with the off-topic, the gesture commands aren't very extensive, at least from what I've seen. A lot of commands I try don't work. In SWG, for example, I could try a random command and it would amazingly have a gesture attached. Not so with WoW. Oh well.

EDIT: Oh and servers differ over type. Some are PvP, others are PvE. I think a couple are RP? Not sure what goes on there really...

Role-playing. It is an RPG, after all.

There are plenty of emotes. I've only used maybe 3 or 4 really, but there are plenty of ones that aren't even on the list.

Not as of today, no. :-/ Also, take into account that servers are localized, so I don't think it's possible for say Richard (UK) to play with Canadians (and sure, who would? But that's besides the point). ;)

The idea of switching servers has not yet been a closed case; they're looking into the idea. It would be an excellent idea for the servers suffering from problems associated with very high populations, and I see they added a half dozen fresh new servers to take the load off from new players constantly joining already packed realms. Issues come up like names already taken, for example. Someone made a big list of why it wouldn't work very well, but I forget it. Anyway, it's not like you can't just stay where you are and just get your friends to join that one anyway. I technically have characters on 3 different servers (granted, one I don't play anymore :)); it's not really a big deal.

Depends on the gesture. Some are undocumented (/train) and definitely have gestures. /rude and /rasp are fun ones. :)

Here's a new image of the day. Nothing special, but the programmers here might get a kick out of it. See, there was a bug where boats were vanishing and dropping people in the water (usually to die of fatigue). While they fixed it, they just added NPC's to teleport you from one dock to the other for the time being. Gotta love the name ...

Oh, so that's why they added the poeple? I was wondering why they had teleport people and ships, besides going to different locations.

Question of the day: Can you mail items to your alternate characters in the same server? I'm assuming they allow it, simply because blocking it would be difficult.
When I start a new character I'd really love to transfer my old bags over. That'll be a lifesaver.

Yep you can.

I deleted my character on Blackhand. :)

And yeah, I mail stuff back and forth between my Shadow Moon crew all the time.

Question of the day:
When I make my Nightelf Druid what professions shall I seek? My main character is a Miner/engineer.

I chose mining / engineering for my paladin as well... grenades and bombs are about the only things I found useful, but dayamn if they don't tip the balance in a tough fight.

You might want to consider alchemy, potions are a must. But that's just a suggestions.

Wise Druid professions would be either Herbalism/Alchemy (that's me) or Skinning/Leatherworking. Flip a coin.

Anyway, the Shadow Moon guild has added Adol (Loda the Gnome Mage) to its ranks. That's four of us in there now, not counting Memo and James "Zeddicus" Lohr, who are on the server but in different guilds. Plus we have our own Allegro chat channel there now. Fun times. :)
