WOW Classic Guild Names, Recruiting and Interesting Behaviors

The Solo MMO Player is finding the new guild names, ah, interesting.  The favorite this week is Nagging Wives.  We cannot wait to hear what happens when the spouse finds out the name of hubby's guild.

However, we think this might be the perfect gift to soothe the spouses in the Nagging Wives guild.  Wonder if there is a discount for bulk purchases?

Guild recruitment pitches are nearly as good as guild names.  Today we heard of a guild looking for old vanilla WOW players.  They say that they are a casual raiding guild that gets drunk, raids, and cannot remember the raid the next day.  Translation:  We need an experienced babysitter who can run the raid for us while we down multiple brews in quick succession.  Don't expect a stampede of older players, folks.  Adults have better things to do with their time.

Player behavior continues to baffle the Solo MMO Player.  Tonight he had someone steal a drop out from under him, then ask where he was going to raid next.  He also heard someone complain loudly,  "They keep killing me!"  This was on a PvP server.   PvP doesn't stand for Pepperoni Vegetable Pizza in WOW, folks.

All About Mounts in WOW (Classic and Retail)

You have to walk just about everywhere in Classic WOW, which is prompting a lot of questions about mounts, especially flying mounts.  This is a good summary about mounts in general for the entire game.
https://wow.gamepedia.com/Mount

In Classic, you can't get a mount until you are Level 40.  Flying mounts are not available in the Classic version of the game since flying wasn't introduced until Level 60 in the Burning Crusade expansion.

There are differences between how mounts work in Classic/Vanilla WOW and in Retail WOW.

If you want to run the numbers before picking that first mount for Classic, this is the website for you.

You can also get mounts from other races in Classic.  It can be convoluted but this site will guide you.

Here is a nice summary of how to get flying mounts in Retail WOW, with a special druid section since they have a flying ability.  Bottom line:  it'll cost a lot of gold and you have to be Level 60.

Wowpedia has a list of all the mounts in the game which is useful.  This is for both versions of the game I think.

Warcraft Mounts is a specialist site just about mounts, including retired ones and upcoming mounts.  This is for both versions of the game I think.

And naturally Blizzard will sell you mounts for real cash.  (Note that this is the US shop.  You'll need to switch to your local shop if you are not US and then use the search function to find the available mounts.)  This is also the place to buy pets and in-game fireworks, etc.

WARNING WARNING WARNING
Don't buy a mount from the Blizzard store and expect to use it in Classic.  It looks like all the currently available mounts for purchase are flying mounts which are not available to use in Classic.
