Fail You have to actually get into it and learn all the awesome things you can do. Once you get into the higher levels trying to achieve something(like lv 30 for you're first mount) it is very fun. There are always friendly players to help you if you have questions. Private servers suck! It completely ruins the purpose of the game! I don't know if any of you play RuneScape but private servers are like Moparscape. And like I said to Quinn, You have to actually get into it and learn all the awesome things you can do.
