WoW Guide: The Basics. [For the newer players]

Ok. Here we go with a few of the basic commands in WoW.

Movement:

Moving is easy. The default movement keys are "W" "S" "A" "D" "Q" and "E"

"W" - forward

"S" - backwards

"A" - turn left

"D" - turn right

"Q" - walk left

"E" - walk right

You may also use your arrow keys, but they don't give you as wide a range as the letters.

You can change these setting, but we will learn this later.

Hot keys:

There are hot keys you can use for faster attacks.

 Ok, as we see here, there are icons, that, if these hot keys weren't here, we would have to click to cast spells. With a hot key, we are able to press a key on our keyboard to cast the spell. In order to get to your spell book, click on the  icon, and bring the spell down. choose wisely where you put the spells (And yes, the hot keys can be changed so don't freak out if you accidently put the spell on the wrong one!) because the better placed they are, the better you'll look when you are killing things. (IMHO anyway.)

The Map:

The map shows where you are. It is located in the upper right hang corner of your screen. Press M to bring up a map f your region (I.E. If your in Stormwind, it'll show all of Stormwind instead of your surrounding area.)
