And now I've got a faster horse, so I guess I'm up to speed (har har) on that aspect of the game.

I'm completely solo... well, I did accept an invite to join a guild, gnome pride or some such, but I can't see the perks. Oh, and it's not like I know how to talk on the different channels anyway. I see trade, general, guild channels... then non-player stuff shows up there too (We're under attack! We're under attack!), so I end up tuning it all out.

I did find myself in a dungeon the first (and last) time I ventured into the Badlands. They were easily killed solo, but after about 30 of them with no end in sight, I got a little bored and annoyed, and bailed. What do you get at the end of a dungeon, anyway?

I confess that /dance never fails to amuse me. Must learn more commands like that. Or maybe how to talk to others.

Dungeons get you elite gear (blue or purple in the name colour). And generally you go in with a group. Guilds can add a lot and make things more interesting. That's where finding a server with a few of us on might be good.
