Question about mounts: Can you fight from them? can they fight? can they get killed? do you need to feed them like the hunter has to feed his pet?

So they basically just make you go faster? When you get into battle do you have to dismount? Does you mount just hang around and wait for you to win or die?
Sorry for buggin' with the easy questions, I so wish the world of warcraft site wasnt blocked here at work, eventhough i trust you people here more.

it takes about 2 secs to mount.
dismount is instant.
what is the best place to find a group for scarlet monastery?
I've only been there once was was lucky enough to find a group at Hillsbrand foothills. most of time, its difficult to find a full group to go there.

My wife just called and told me about playing WoW. Soon she'll have more hours invested in it that I. We only have one computer that can run it.
What would be the cheapest computer that could be put together that could play WoW?

Woo, I found a good spot to farm leather last night so I was able to make enough money to pick up my mount. Here are a couple of pics of my new baby.

anyone think they will ever be able to buy their 2nd mount?
900G yikes!
I'm still recovering from being bankrupt after buying my first mount.
Where is the quest to get the Uldaman instance?
Does the quest start in the badlands?
From the maps, it looks like there is no alliance town in badlands.
so the nearest inn is loch modan - is this correct?

There are a couple quests in the Badlands that you can pick up for Uldaman. If I recall, there is also one in the excavation site in Loch Modan for Uldaman as well. Yes, there are no Alliance towns in the Badlands, so you'll have to run south from Loch Modan.

Several servers are going to be Tomorrow, January 13 for 16 hours today (starting at 4am Pacific), including Cenarius.
I invite any of you who can't play on their regular server to come visit Feathermoon (a role-playing server). If you roll up a Horde character, feel free to give me a tell in-game...name is Ohcuorg
Edited to reflect the correct date.

Mightydos writes " An interesting article was posted on Blizzard.com today... They say World of Warcraft® has sold through more than 600,000* units to customers in North America, Australia, and New Zealand. The fastest-growing massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) has also shattered all previous concurrency records in North America, achieving over 200,000 simultaneous players during the holiday period

I want to play this game so badly but I can't find it anywhere. Anybody know any online stores that have it in stock? None of my local places expect to have one for me anytime soon.

Can you just buy a license from blizzard if you already have a copy of the game?
You're not missing much without the book.

Yeah, I saw the Amazon marketplace sellers, but they're asking $75-$95 on the regular copies. I'd rather wait to find one at $50 if I can.This is so frustrating. I know so many people that are playing this and having a great time. I want to play too!
