Macros and Hotkeys
 

So I haven't played this in many years and was hit by a nostalgia bomb.
Only problem I'm having is I have no clue how to drag abilities onto the hotbar. Looked through the various posts on this forum and I didn't see it and I tried a bunch of things in game.
I know its going to be perfectly obvious and I'll look stupid when I find out but for now I'm frustrated.

Click and hold on a button until it pops onto your cursor. If you pull it from your abilities/combat/social bar, it'll "copy" a new button that you can drop (via clicking again) onto your action bar. If you click+hold on a button already on your action bar, it'll remove that button from the tile (cut) and allow you drop it into another action bar slot.

Edit social buttons (macros) via right-clicking on the one you'd like to edit, either on the action bar or the social tab of the abilities bar.

Ahh yeah I knew it was gonna be simple. I even remember that now from I used to play like 10 years ago.
Thanks!

You can also use the /hotbutton command to create hotbuttons on the fly.

So I'm being painfully reminded of the lack of inventory space at the beginning. Where does one get bags that are not from the raping hands of overpriced merchants?

Giant tailoring kits are not too expensive, and sometimes mobs drop bags... That is about it.
