Anyone for WoW?

Oh, and when I enter fight mode (um, when the circle turns red), is there a way to refine my fighting? Am I just locked in the roll of the dice at that point?

When you get to this screen (select character screen), look at the top right corner, it will tell you your server name - this one says Aerie Peak.




When you say - refine your fighting - what do you mean?
As you level, you will gain new talents and fighting skills and essentially it will take practice for you to become proficient.
That in itself is a mastery in the making - you may want to consult your guide book to explain fighting techniques/ talent trees, etc.

When you are a low level, there aren't many fighting options. As you level up, you will get more options.

Oh and go to a vendor to sell anything you might have picked up - be careful not to sell items such as weapons or clothing that is better than what you already have.

Very helpful, thanks! I'm on Sen'jin. My character is named JDthunderarms. I picked it after my first 38 name choices were unavailable. *grumble*

I just earned "Charge", but no clue how to use it. But when I posted previously, I was specifically talking about how sometimes in the middle of a fight, both characters just kind of stop and stand there and pant. I know that there is built-in recovery time between swings and such, but sometimes it seems longer, so I just wanted to see if there was something I should be doing to speed it up (if it was waiting on a command from me or something).

If you go into your spellbook icon, you can click and drag any icon (do not pick passive ones) to your menu bar on the bottom of the screen. This will allow you to click on that particular talent (such as charge) and use it immediately. There are cool downs to each "spell", and the icon will give you an indication of when it's ready again. Be sure to click on your opponent first, then click charge. If you are too far away, it won't work - so you have to be within a reasonable distance.



(See these bars on the bottom? That's where you put your new "spells")

All I play are warriors for the most part - charge will allow you to charge your opponent and stun him for a few seconds while you get in some hits. Again, because you are low level, it will seem like it takes forever to kill something. I love charge. And intercept. But that will come later.

If you click your computer looking icon, a settings menu will display - you can add more bars to your menu bar - I usually set it up so I have bars on the bottom and the side. Believe me, you will need all of them eventually.

Awesome! Going back to try that.

Found a vendor, and I see how to buy...but can't figure out how to sell. I think what's making this aggravating is that it's intuitive enough to figure out what I'm supposed to do next, but not intuitive enough to know how to do it. I can see how this will suck up all lots of time once I get my sea legs!

Right click the item you want to sell, or merely drag it to the vendor. If you sell something by accident, go into the buyback tab and get it back.

It's really not that hard once you do get the hang of it. Don't give up I'm looking forward to some whoop ass!
