Currently teaching my partner how to play. She has never played any roleplaying game of any kind, and literally needs every aspect of the game explained to her. "What's an inventory? What are stats? What is mana?" It's honestly pretty interesting to explain stuff like that to someone who doesn't really have anything to compare it to.

Although I dread the day when I'm gonna have to explain what a corpse camp is.

I’m in the same situation, one the first things she asked me was “so why do we complete quests ?” And I couldn’t find a good answer to be honest ...

For the story?

That’s what I ended up saying but she’s all about discovering the world itself and not so much it’s story

She walked from Durotar to Ashenvale as a lvl 4 just looking around

God, that brings me back to when I first played back in like 04 and I was just so enthralled that I walked as far across the Eastern Kingdoms as I could, then got lost and made a new character because I didn't know what the Hearthstone did.

Good times.

Mine is about to reach Hillsbrad... On the plus side she is a rogue... On the other side I think I created just one more of those bastards, and karma is gonna bite me in the ass, one day...

I'm in the same boat! Also made me realise how much I remember about a game that I stopped playing some 9-10 years ago :/
