    New thread! Can I ride my own jock for a second re: names? I usually just pick a common word for my character's names, sort of at random. But for my first WoW character, I knew I wanted to go undead. I went looking around the internet for ghost-themed inspiration, and ended up at a page about disney's haunted mansion, I believe it was http://www.doombuggies.com/myths2.php .

    From the page:

    "There was a character in the original Haunted Mansion attic scene which was removed almost immediately after the attraction opened to the public. The mysterious Bride has always been there, waiting for guests at the atic window, with a lonely flickering candle and eerie glowing eyes. But at one time, she had a suitor, of sorts.

    Standing to the right of the Doom Buggies near the attic window, where the Bride had been standing (until she was replaced at Disneyland in 2006), was an elderly ghost in a cloak and top hat, leaning on a cane with a wavering hand and clutching a hatbox in the other. As the Bride's heart would beat, this "Hatbox Ghost's" head would disappear from his body, and appear in the hatbox he held in his hand."

    And so my undead warlock was named Hatbox, the ghost who got fired by Disney and had to get a second job with the Forsaken. I was always a little proud of that name, even if no one ever got the reference.

    Don't blame me, I named my DK "Tresjynn". One of the best possible DK names.

    I named my Death Knight "Propst" after a few different attempts, just someone's last name. While playing yesterday, someone asked me if I had named my warhorse. Inspiration struck, and I went with "Taffy".

    My Death Knight is fond of sweets.

    I named my DK Mortuary and was quite surprised to see it had not been taken!

    Also, you can name your warhorse?

    Sure. You can name it anything you want. From "Bob", to "10110010111001", to "This warhorse is the most awesomesauce warhorse anyone will ever come across. He's better than your warhorse. Your warhorse is stupid too."

    Of course, you'll have to let people know what you named him, or they'll have no way to find out.

    Nope.

    Of course, unless you already know what the mount is called, there's no way for you to know without being told. You cannot target someone's mount.

    i.e.

    For some people, your "Tawny Windrider" is just a gargoyle or a bat or whatever until someone tells them what it's actually called.

    It's just for fun and the small bit of RP I do on occasion. I plan on getting the big rep fishing pole and a sort of traveler's garb for fishing out in the mainland. The 180 DPS on the fishing pole is nice too.

    Of course, I'm runing the pole.

    edit:

    Something else I've noticed... DPS isn't as important as the actual damage per hit of the weapon for a DK. If you could find a (theoretical of course) sword/axe that's only 90 DPS, but hit's once every twenty seconds, you'd be killer.

    My second account is entirely made up of "Myalt<class>".

    All 10 slots are filled with one character from each class, from Myaltwarrior to MyaltDK.

    I used very little imagination when naming my second account guys.
