    Please note I did not say HP charms, I said gold charms. That can mean either HP or MP charms.

    Still don't need either. I've got plenty of ways to keep my MP up, too.

    So, if someone was selling a Boa mount for 500k on WC in ALL CAPS. You wouldnt buy it?

    Yeah, real smart.

    Its kinda funny how the CAPS LOCK KEY is very prone to "breaking" but all the other keys seem to be invincibile.

    Don't need a Boa, I have a Raptor. And you're right about the Caps Lock.

    caps lock is cruise control for cool ;)


    .... jk =P
    entire sentences in caps is like yelling and makes the person using them seem like a noob. Typing one word in caps for emphasis isn't too bad but can be taken as yelling that one word rather than emphasizing it. I prefer using *s or _ around words to emphasize them. Such as, *this* is emphasis and _this_ is also emphasis, but THIS could be taken as the person yelling the word this :3

    i see all caps as "yelling" but really i see no reason to get offened by it. then there are guys who would cap a single word or two to empathize a point. example:

    "man i REALLY need to buy a new bow."

    It depends on the content and context I think.

    If a friend logs on and you say "YAY HI <name of friend in caps>" in faction chat or world chat then I don't think it's rude.

    Or if you are doing it to congratulate or praise someone else and make sure everyone knows how awesome that person it, then I don't think it's rude.

    But if the only reason you are doing it is so that you can emphasize what you want to say or give yourself some sort of advantage when you're spamming for help or trying to sell your stuff, then yes it's rude.
    Because you are assuming that whatever you need is more important than whatever everyone else needs, etc.

    So you have never seen "pwn", "moer", "teh", "gwko"?
    That's because if you press CAP by mistake it affect the whole sentence. If you press Insert by mistake it also affect the whole sentence but only on few selected cases. Other key don't affect the whole sentence, it only add an extra character which you most like can figure out it is a mistake and move on with it.

    I don't really see a different. People don't like bigger letters?
