My good deed for the week

zillah975I was up way too late last night because a level 10 hunter in the forests of Teldrassil on the Eldre'Thalas server asked my newly-minted level 12 hunter where I got my awesome new coyote, which I got in Westfall. So I told him, and he was like, "can you take me there?" and I'm like, "um, it's kind of a long ways, but I can tell you how to get there!" So I told him about flying to Darnassus and taking the boat to Stormwind and then either flying or hoofing it to Westfall, and he was like, "cool, except I can't fly," and then he was gone, and didn't answer my whisper. And I thought, "does he know about Griffon Masters? or whispers? How newb is he?"
So later I saw him in Darnassus, and since I was about to go to Stormwind anyway, I pinged him to see if he still needed to get to Westfall for a coyote, and I could show him the way. I figured it'd take a few minutes.
And it was only after we were in Stormwind Harbor that I thought to ask him whether he'd trained Beast Mastery yet.
So, then there was getting him to the SW trainers and discovering that apparently they don't train anyone under level 12, and then showing him the Trade District and where to find the Griffon Master and the gates of Stormwind, and then hoofing it to Goldshire, and showing him the trainer there, and then hoofing it to Westfall, at which point he leveled to 11, thank goodness, because the coyotes are all 11 and it would have sucked to come all that way only to find he couldn't tame them.
And he tamed his coyote, yay! They really are much prettier in person than they look on Wowhead. And then I said I had to go, and he was super appreciative that I'd helped him, and I said np! and hearthed, and logged off, and only then wondered, "omg, does he even know how to hearth?"
I really hope I didn't leave him stranded in Westfall with no way home.
Very newb. When I asked him if he'd trained before, he said, "I think so", and then "I'm only level 10." /o\
I sent him in-game mail this morning with links to Wowhead and Warcraft Hunter's Union and a couple of newbie guides, so hopefully that'll help. He said he'd only been playing about a week.
I kind of think that a lot of new players -- maybe most of them -- see "New players" beside a server name and think "that's for people who are new to the game! Sign me up!" Because there are a LOT of newbies on Eldre'Thalas. So cute! And sometimes annoying. But so far, mostly cute. :)
