So now you know how my father-in-law Joe got to Redridge…one keypress of W at a time. Oh, I’m sure there were some A’s and D’s involved but you get what I’m saying.
I happen to pass by his monitors to find that at level 8 (now) somehow he’s made it to the area over by where Redridge becomes the Burning Steppes. He sees a group of four people and shambles over there to say hi, mainly because he’s learning about all these chat channels, and wants to participate. He’s not having much luck though, because: a) He’s actually using the Say command where he talks “out loud” in the immediate area and not in a zone-wide channel, and b) They’re Horde.
So here he is, a level 8 and judging from the Hordes’ gear, they’re PvPers, mid-60s to level 70 (max at the time). They can wipe him with a punch, even the priest or warlock. Meanwhile, Joe’s here just inching forward, left, right randomly, and trying to talk to them. They fan around him and…just watch him. For like 5 minutes. They emote, they dance. I tell him the dance emote command and he dances with them. They laugh, pat him and then ride off, waving farewell.
Joe figures out how to turn around and heads back to Elwynn Forest where he gets killed by a level 6 or so murloc, because he’s still trying to chat with people.
Good times.
