WoW Basics Guide for extremely new gamers by me. I made it because I remember what it's like to start an MMO when you've not really played many different games before. Also I was trying to get my sister & dad to play and they were confused
A World Awoken (Taivan Partial Guide) by me. Partial because I only wrote out what I had left to do. I wrote stuff out because I was frustrated navigating the Achievements window with no back button constantly re-checking what I needed to do. So if what is there helps you, enjoy! I did finally find an addon that adds a back button though! It is called Achievements Back button and is linked below.
