There are tons of fun things to do in the World of Warcraft besides quests! Your characters can tell funny jokes, play carnvial games, or build a collection of cute pets...just to name a few!

/Emote

In World of Warcraft, you can make your character "emote" by using predefined slash commands. These commands generate a chat message (typically in a special color) that describes what your character is doing. This chat message is often accompanied by audio and some character action. For example, using the /thanks command, text displays ("Character thanks target."), an audio file is played (character voice: "Thank you."), and a character animation occurs (character gesticulates).

Vist The Darkmoon Faire

Gathering the exotic from around the world, Silas Darkmoon presents the Darkmoon Faire as a celebration of the wonders and mysteries found in Azeroth. The faire spends most of its time in parts unknown but is available from time to time by accessing portals in Elwynn Forest and Mulgore.

The Cannon Game at the Darkmoon FaireAttendees can complete daily quests associated with each carnival game to win a Darkmoon Game Prize containing a Darkmoon Prize Ticket and possibly another prize. Darkmoon Prize Tickets can be used to purchase pets, mounts, vanity items, heirlooms, and replica armor for use in transmogrification.

Collect Companion Pets

A companion pet is more or less your own personal Warcraft critter. When your companion pet is summoned, it will follow your character throughout the game world. They can even battle with other pets and critters in a neat Pokémon-esque minigame!

Companions will loyally and cheerfully accompany you as you journey through Azeroth and beyond. And as noted above, they are also able to battle one another in a fun-filled sub-game that's reminiscent of Pokémon. Some will do interesting things when left idle, such as twirling around or falling asleep. For the most part, companions exist to give your character a little extra flair.

Pets especially are one of the most fascinating things to collect. Unlike epic gear or reputation rewards, they never become obsolete. For this reason more than any other, pet collecting is something you can enjoy for as long as you play World of Warcraft!
