A really easy way to get around if you are less than 60, and don't have a mage in your party - set your hearth to Shattarah!
Shattarah has a portal to every major city for both horde and alliance. So if you need to get from one side of the world to the other fast - just hearth and go through the appropriate portal.
Note - you can be summoned or portalled to Shattarah at any level, so just get a friendly mage or lock to help you out.
Anyone know any other useful tips? Post them here!
Cheers,

With Level 35 you can learn First Aid until 375!
You only need to do the quest, buy the books and create Bandages.
Very nice in PvP when you're Level 35 and use a Heavy Netherweave Bandage which completely heals you within 2-3 Seconds.
okok lots of the bandage is overheal but hey.. who cares? :)

Here's one, and it's important.
Do not camp the outside coilfang until you are ready to logoff. That way once the groups you rolled bands together and organizes a raid to camp you, you don’t have to deal with the consequences

TIP: Don't set the leader on autorun and hope that you can get back to your desk after getting a drink before you run offroad, cause when you both spill your drink and get all your guys killed, it sucks.

How about some boxing tips and not just general tips?
I wouldn't suggest putting your hearth to shattrath since you're probably better off putting it near wherever you are leveling.

Haha i've done that so many times.

Label everything
Buy everything you need to start boxing and don't tell your wife. When she asks how much you spent, lie! (just kidding)

actually there is a bit of truth...
I used my own and some father's money to buy my PC (which costs over 2200$). My mother thinks it costs 500$ >_<

I have another opinion. You dont level in one location very long because you do all quests fast and move to another location or an instance.
But very often you need to teleport to one capital or another to access bank/AH or just your destination location is closer to that capital city. For example, it takes ages to get from UC to TB. You waste alot of time running from UC to TB. Making HS to local town is much worth, because 1) it is usually not THAT far 2) you can kill mobs by the way to that town (some more xp)

If you can't afford an x-keys, use the numpad area of your keyboard. Not sure how well this works with games other than wow, but anything on the numpad can either be easily moved or forgotten.
I currently have my arrow keys for moving all four of my warlocks, and have wasd for single movement, but am thinking of getting rid of the arrow keys for movement since it is rarely useful and doesn't work all that great due to desync anyway.

Boxing is pretty fun once you get in to it and learn how it all works. What you don’t know is boxing is taxing on yourself. Depending on your situation it may or may not be hard for you.
I found that having my own static group 24/7 is a little boring some times. You totally lose out on the MMO aspect of the game, which was what I was going for in the first place. But even simple times of grouping with a friend or helping someone down a boss for their stupid quest you tend to miss some times.
It hard for some to make this adjustment. If you take a look at this forum you will see many people who started boxing, then shortly after quit out of boredom. I can’t say that’s why all of them stopped but that answer to me does hit home.
So a word to the wise you have to be strong in more then just technical the area. You have to be up for the mental challenge of surgically removing the MMO aspect out of your game. In return you will completely destroy that group of red names headed your way. But just remember there is a cost.

wise words there brad, however, of you do raid/group with other from time to time, you get back a bit off those long forgotten feelings ...
shouting on everyone they dont target the same mobs, they overaggro, they have to l2p ... errr, what was I saying ?

You could just try to pug an instance with one of your characters. You can always bring more if you're short on people.

To start WoW on all of your comps at once, place a shortcut on the desktop of all your computers and and hotkey the shortcut.
i.e.
Make a WoW shortcut, then
Right click the shortcut, under Properties there is a "shortcut" tab with a "shortcut" key. Put any letter you want in there (it will always start with CTRL+ALT however). Voila! if your keyboard broadcasts, hitting CTRL+ALT+hotkey will start WoW simultaneously on all computers!
