The first character I ever played was a NE Rogue. I leveled to 16 in Teldrassil and stayed in the zone because I thought that was the entire in-game world (which made sense at the time since it took a while to run from Shadowglen to Darnassus). I found out how to duel people early on and would challenge random people around Dolanar and beat them easily, thinking I was the best at this game since no one was close to my level. That started my love of PvP for this game! Dueling people is, to this day, a favorite past-time of mine. Eventually a friend of my brother logged on and we chatted for a bit. I noticed his character was a human and I was amazed because I had rarely seen any humans in Teldrassil, but when I opened my map to locate him, the arrow pointed off screen. That's when I realized you could right click the map to zoom out. Suffice to say, I lost my mind when I saw I was actually on a small island at the top of the map compared to the massive continent I had yet to even discover! However, my human friend was STILL not on the map, so I right clicked again and, once more, lost my ABSOLUTE MIND when I found out there were TWO ENORMOUS CONTINENTS of the game to explore.
Eventually, I found the boat to Auberdine...
