As an MMORPG,World of Warcrafthas several unspoken rulesabout how players communicate with one another. From jumping up and down in place to greet or guide players to communicating with members of the opposite faction via emotes, fans have created unique ways of interacting with others in the game world.
Recently,World of Warcraftshared a funny video pointing out some of the most common ways players walk around in the game. As players walk past other characters, some are prone to moving around their fellow gamers, while others run straight through them or hop over their heads. While it is not always a conscious choice as to what kind of “WoW Walker” one is, this video asks players to take a step back and look athow they travel acrossWorld of Warcraftin a comically poignant way.
The Different Types of ‘WoW Walkers’
With nearly over 1,500 reposts on Twitter within a few hours of the original post, it is clearWorld of Warcraftfans got a kick out of the video. Players shared their own tendencies for how they interact with others in the near-300 comments the post received, and how their tendencies have changed over the years. Others pointed outWorld of Warcraftraces with special jump animations like Night Elvesand Blood Elves, or classes that can glide like Demon Hunters and Evokers, have even more reason to be Jumpers than most, while those who play on RP servers tend to be Side-steppers to maintain realism.
InWorld of Warcraft Classic Season of Discovery, however, almost everyone tends to be a Buffer. On the retro servers, many buffs scale with the level of the caster, allowing high-level characters to give a massive boost to the combat abilities of their lower-level counterparts. It is courteous to share any buffs they might have, so if players jump into ClassicWoW, they should consider tossing some out to any they pass by, regardless of how they move around them.
