You Shouldn't Need a Guide to Play World of Warcraft

Back in sixth grade, I loved midterm exams. They meant a few quick tests at school and then a whole afternoon free. It was 2005, and having that kind of unsupervised time at home meant I could indulge in snacks and play Runescape without anyone stopping me. That was my first MMO, and while I was aware of other games in the genre, my loyalty to Runescape was absolute-at least until I drifted into single-player games and left MMOs behind.

Fast forward to 2025, and here I am back in an MMO, but not Runescape Classic. This time it's World of Warcraft, drawn in not by nostalgia, but by my partner's enthusiasm. When gamers meet, there's always a period of showing each other their favorite series. He's picked up some knowledge of Persona from me, and I've let him enjoy Death Stranding 2 first, since he's a devoted Kojima fan. In the meantime, I've been tagging along on his adventures in World of Warcraft.

Starting World of Warcraft in 2025 feels like jumping straight into the deep end. My partner and his friends had maintained a love for WoW long past childhood, and I had always been curious but intimidated. With so much history, so many expansions, and a sprawling world to navigate, it's easy to feel lost before you even start. Normally, I would have reverted to Old School Runescape if I got an MMO itch, but the excitement on my partner's face made me sign up for a BattleNet account almost immediately.

Having a Runescape background helped me pick up some of the MMO basics, but World of Warcraft is a completely different beast. Thankfully, my partner acted as an excellent tour guide for Azeroth. He asked what type of character I might enjoy, then created one to complement mine. My undead rogue joined his priest in a cryptic starting area, and we tackled the same beginner quests together. I trailed him, trying to make sense of where I needed to go and how to handle the mechanics.

As a veteran, he knew exactly where to go, which hotkeys to use, and how to maximize my rogue's damage with combo points and stealth. Without him, I would have been clueless about interacting with trainers to learn new moves, selling gear I couldn't use, or optimizing my specialized skills. My current progress-level 12 after only three play sessions-is largely thanks to WoW Classic Fresh Gold for sale his guidance. I'm beginning to skin and leatherwork, and even using emotes without accidentally sending love gestures to NPCs instead of him.
