It's a new world ~ of Warcraft

Okay, so I have a habit. I have a very addicting habit, hobby, time consuming enjoyment. It's called World of Warcraft - or WoW to those who know.
I have played for a year on various servers - no I don't have a LvL 60 yet. Not for lack of trying, too many characters.
When I started, I knew very little about acronyms in the IM world. Getting used to chats using IM was one thing, but wait in WoW - you juggle 3 chats.
The General chat (world chat), where everyone is talking. This is in white. Tends to get a little odd sometimes.
The Party chat, if you are grouped with others. This is in blue, and is important for you to pay attention to.
The Guild chat, if you are in one. This is in green, and can be informative, fun or just chatty (or silent if you prefer).
Imagine the multitasking - all while you are fighting, flying, whatever.

so - quite the learning curve for someone new. It's no wonder it took me almost a month to figure out that I had to select my chat by /1 (for general) instead of just typing. Typing is like talking in person - not many hear you. LOL

On that note -
