The Ten Commandments of WoW

1. Blizzard is thy God. Thou shalt have no other gods before them.
Remember, this means no Funcom, no NCSoft, and Blizzard forbid, no Square Enix.

2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any unlicensed action figures, trading cards or any likeness of any thing that belongs to Blizzard.
After all, they have to protect their intellectual property.

3. Thou shalt not take the name of Blizzard in rage.
Raging over something thy Lords Blizzard do is just likely to encourage them to do it more just to annoy you, for Blizzard art vengeful Lords.

4. Remember the patch day, and not to schedule raids upon it.
At least in my guilds, whatever idiots schedule raids for patch day find themselves looking for a new guid when the servers come up.

5. Honour thy tank and thy healer.
For without them, thy death is inevitable.

6. Thou shall only kill thee who deserve it.
Which fortunately includes everybody not in your faction, every NPC, everybody in your faction, and possibly even you.

7. Thou shalt not cheat on their faction.
Unless you're Alliance. Come to the Horde, we have cake. But Horde playing Alliance? Not cool.

8. Thou shalt not ninja loot.
Again, not cool. That one awesome item? It'll drop again. It's not worth your whole server hating you.

9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against a GM.
In plain Orcish/Common, it's simple. GMs have powers. Don't mess with them.

10. Thou shalt not covet gear not intended for thy class.
Sure, you can wear it and its stats are better. But don't. Just don't. Everybody will be laughing at you behind your (possible inappropriate) back.
