WoW Forever GuideFive tips from 2004 that still work
2004 said
Log out at an inn. Take a gathering profession. Ask questions. Agree the loot rules first. Thank your group.

Still the advice we'd give a new player.
The guide's list of do's reads like something a patient friend would tell you. Log out at an inn, because you earn bonus experience while you're away. Pick up a gathering profession early, because mining, skinning and herbalism pay for everything else. Ask questions, then try to find the next answer yourself. Agree who gets what loot before the dungeon, not after. Say "good group" at the end of the night.
That last one isn't a game mechanic. It's the reason people still talk about this game twenty years later.
Starting with no idea what you're doing? Good. So was everyone in 2004.
