WoW Daily New Player Article 4: Combat
Starting the fight
To start fighting a creature, you must click on it with your mouse. If you are ranged, you can stand at a range (Not too close, not to far away). If you are melee, then you have to get up close to the enemy and attack.
Using attacks (Mostly about the action bar)
Before you go into battle, I suggest organizing your action bar. Your action bar is on the bottom of your screen with the boxes. To put abilities in your action bar, you must press P to get to your spell book, then shift-click on a spell and drag it to the action bar. To attack, press the number on the keyboard corresponding that attack, or you can just click on it in the action bar.
As you get more advanced, you will need to develop strategies to defeat enemies, make sure to play around with it to get the perfect action bar.
Have fun, Game Hard.

WoW Daily New Player Article 3: First steps into WoW
Here are the basics, if you just stepped into World Of Warcraft.
How to Move - You move by either the arrow keys or by pressing both mouse buttons down. (Or WASD)
Mini Map - Your mini map is the circle in the top right corner of your screen. It provides more detail about near by areas than the map does. This is a very important feature to understand, so I reccomend playing around with it for a couple minutes to know how it works.
What do the symbols above peoples head mean?
Yellow Exclamation Point - This means that you can pick up a quest(s) from this person. You should pick up all quests you see in the area you are questing in.
Grey Exclamation Point - This means this person has a quest, but you are too low level to pick it up.
Yellow Question Mark - This means you have completed the quest that this person gave you, go up to him and right click him to get the quest rewards.
Grey Question Mark - This means you are in progress of the quest this person gave you, when you complete it, it will turn yellow.
Chat Log - This is in the bottom left corner of your screen. When someone talks, or wants to communicate with you then it will appear there. By pressing your enter key you can type. To type in a certain channel you have to press certain commands. Here are the basic ones.
/g is guild chat
/s is say (can be heard by people nearby)
/p is party chat
/1 is general chat (Can be heard by anyone in your area)
There are more, but those are the basic ones.
Enemies - If you go explore, you can put your cursor over different creatures. If it is a enemy, It will tell its level, its race, the name of the enemy, and if you need it for a quest, it will tell you how many more you need to kill.
Loot - Almost all enemies offer loot. When you kill an enemy get close to it, then right click it. It should bring up a screen with items, click on the ones you want (You might as well loot all of them because you can always sell it to a vendor).
Inventory - Your inventory is everything that your character owns (Besides the bank, but that will be for a later guide). Press B to bring up your inventory.

WoW Daily New Player Article 2: Character Creation
When you are on the Character Creation Screen, in the middle should be your character, on the very bottom should be your screen, In the left there should be a bar, on the right there should be a couple boxes.
Left bar
Race - Your race actually does a lot. First of all it decides your faction (Horde/Alliance), On the horde the races are, Goblin, Undead, Orc, Tauren, Blood Elf, and Troll. On the Alliance side the races are, Gnome, Dwarf, Human, Draenel, Night Elf, and Worgen. Race also effects where your starting area is. Also, each race gets a small stat boost depending on your race (Some races get special spells). In a later guide I may go more in depth with races.
Gender - Em, pretty self-explanatory
Class - Classes effects your fighting style, different classes get different spells. There are 10 classes. Death Night, Druid, Hunter, Mage, Paladin, Priest, Rogue, Shaman, Warlock, and Warrior. Each class (Besides Warrior, and Death Knight) has certain races you cannot play with that class. For example, Gnomes cannot be hunters. I may go more in depth in Classes in a later guide.
Physical Appearance - This is how you can change how your character looks. you can change its Skin Color, its Face, its Facial Hair, and other things based on its Race.
Boxes on the right
Race History/Class Description - This will tell you the advantages and disadvantages to your class and race. It will also tell the Story behind your race and class.
Name Selection
Name selection might be the longest step, try to think of a clever name, but you need to pick a name that no one has picked on your server. If you are on a small server, this should be a little bit easier than if you are on a bigger server.

WoW Daily New Player Article 1: Picking your server
Let's start out with the absolute basics, and that is, getting started. First of all, there are 4 types of realms.
Normal Realm - Also known as PvE realms (Player vs Environment). If you are just starting, I strongly suggest you start with a normal realm, you don't want 85s one hitting you while your questing.
PvP Realm - Players from opposite factions (Alliance and Horde) are aloud to attack each other freely in most areas.
Roleplaying Servers - This kind of server is where people are supposed to stay "in character" while playing.There are more rules about the names you can pick, and the behavior in different areas. If you are going to go to a RP (Roleplay) server, I recommend checking this out http://us.blizzard.com/
RP-PvP - This stands for Roleplay-Player vs Player. This is the same as a roleplay server, except you may PvP people of opposite factions.
Also, you will need to know the population of the realms, when you are picking a realm, on the far right is the population.
Full - No new accounts are aloud in this server.
High - A lot of people,there will always be someone to help, but you may be waiting in a queue to log in.
Medium - A large number of people, but not too many.
New Players - This is a new server with lower overall population. If you are playing for the first time, choosing one of these realms is an excellent choice!
Offline - The grayed out servers are briefly unavailable, but should be back up soon!
Also, you should know the Geographic Tabs. When you are picking a realm, they are on the bottom of the realm selection screen, click on the tab appropriate for where you live.
Have fun, Game Hard.
