An Explorer's Guide to the Lost

Thanks to Dragonshade I have discovered a "no longer updated site" that talks about hidden portions of the game for explorers in articles, links and videos.  If you enjoy exploring secret areas you should check this out, especially since there's no telling what will disappear forever when Cataclysm comes out.

Guidelines, Conventions and Rules on a Role Play Server

Lissana talks about role play servers, what you can expect there, the conventions, and a link to Blizzard's rules about how to conduct yourself while there.
http://www.restokin.com/2010/03/so-you-want-to-play-on-an-rp-server/

Since this must be Role Play Day*, Gazimoff wrote a long article about role play with a lot of useful links to guides, folks who wrote how to role play articles, and blogs documenting role play experience.

*I think the creation of the Single Abstract Noun guild for bloggers on a role play server has sparked new interest in learning role play conventions, which explains all the new articles.  After all, folks must be looking for things to do while waiting for Cataclysm to arrive and many bloggers have joined Single Abstract Noun on either U.S. (Alliance) or EU (Hoard) servers.

UPDATE:  Naming conventions by class with links to help you choose a name that won't get you reported.
