''How oldschool are you'' Quiz, second edition

[Deleted]

A couple of days ago I was reading the http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/forum/to...577995?page=17 and http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/...know-about-WoW threads about people thinking about pre-tbc world of warcraft and thought it would be a fun idea to make a quiz about it: http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/...l-are-you-Quiz. This was received really well by the mmo-champion community, even though there were no prices to win, and I spend the entire day grading people's entries. When I was done I got quite some requests to make another quiz just like the first one with different questions. So here goes

I started playing somewhere halfway trough vanilla myself and still have alot of good memories about that time. I thought it would be fun to make a quiz about vanilla, so people can show off just how much they remember from back then. The only reason why you would want to do this quiz would be for bragging rights, I will keep an updated top-10 of how many questions people had correct. If you have answered (part of) the questions, PM them to me, don't post them in the thread, I will then pm you back with which questions you had correct and update the top list. You are ofcourse free to try as many times as you like.
I would be very pleased if a mod could keep an eye on this thread so people don't post their answers here therefore spoiling it for others.
The questions will be a mix of game mechanics, game knowledge, movies and famous events. All the questions are from my personal memory, combined with things I remembered because of the above linked threads

The questions will be graded as following:
Correct-You answered all aspects of the question I wanted to hear in a correct way-1 Point
Semi-Correct- The question is composed of multiple aspects and you had atleast half of the required aspects fully correct-0.5 points
Semi-Correct- You answered the general question right or was close to it, but you didn't include everything I asked for or are wrong on some point.-0 Points
Incorrect-You answer wasn't even close to what I was looking for-0 Points

Troughout the day I will try to respond to all the entries as soon as possible, but it takes some time to check all entries and calculate points, therefore I might take some time to review your specific answers, feel free to add a ''reading confirmation'' to your answers if you want to know when to aproximately expect your answers to be graded.

Because of the 5000-word cap thats in place on PM's, I would prefer if people only posted the answers with the question number next to it, not the full questionaire.


And now, without further ado, the questions themselves.

1. What was the name and class of the author of the ''Total annihilation'' series?

10. Upon first entering alterac valley, you can get a quest for a trinket which you can upgrade as your reputation with the stormpike/frostwolves rises.

feel free to handin an actual answer though, you would be surprised at how many you would have wrong (or atleast, alot of people seem to be overconfident about their ability to correctly know this stuff, on my last quiz only 1/10th of the entries had more then 2/3th correct, which shocked me abit
