#27 Zone Sharing

Sharing is caring...kinda. Zones shouldn't be battlegrounds between those leveling and those going for achievements, so why not just share?

Crazy right?

The summer lull is a great time to roll a new alt, or to go after some of the missed achvements in our favorite games, so isn't it great when the two intersect? Doesn't everyoen just love it when their low level toons can't complete quests or finish objectives because there's a level capped toon wondering around AOE' ing everything in sight? No dude, we arne't mobs, but please kill all the mobs in the zone, we can wait!

A great way to try and aoid this type of frustration is to try and quest in another hub, but some games don't allow non- linear questing anymore. making this more difficult for everyone involved. My suggestion is before you report someone for greifing, wisper them and ask them to chill out or even invite you. If they are rude que for a dungeon, the level capped player might be two zones away by then.

#26 How to be a good party guest

Alludra explains the ins and outs of the social type party, much different from the loot type ones!

No not THAT kind of party, but the purely social kind!

Okay so say someone is celebrating a big event and you are invited to the virtual party! Remember, the rules of being a good guest apply in game just as much as they do out of game!
Check the party location against your rep standings when you RSVP! It would suck to arrive and bring the guards down on the party suddenly! Homicides tend to interrupt small talk and party chit chat!

Once committed, don't back out! Like any raid leader will attest, it's dissapointing when your guests call out of a party! Even if there's epic lootz on the line

Bring something! A pony keg, keg pony, or refreshment service of your choice can go a long way to help out the host! Catering mage looking a bit tired? Warlock cookies running short? be the party hero!

Enjoy yourself! ...but not too much! Relax and mingle with other classes off the charts. Let go of your nerf/buff rage for a night and complement people on that nice mogged outfit or rare pet, but keep it within limits, being too inebriated to see that that blood elf was actually a guy can lead to awkwardness down the road.

Finally lend a hand with the cleanup, if asked. This goes double for all those undead out there who can *ahem* help with the corpses!
