+## COMMON QUESTIONS
+
+#### 1 - How can I contribute? I am not a developer, I know nothing useful.
+
+- You can help us by testing our [Pull Requests](Contribute#how-to-test-a-pull-request), and participating on the github issues' discussions. You can also provide support when you can in our discord, on the popular [stackoverflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/azerothcore) and on other emulation forums (ac-web.org for example). You can also help us with documentation (this wiki, or the readme), we need help with that too!
+- You can put bounties (money) on issues and suggestions by using bountysource. Read this: [Bountysource](Bountysource.md)
+- If you're a developer, check out this page: [Contribute](Contribute.md)
+
+#### 2 - Why is AzerothCore using more RAM than TrinityCore?
+
+See [Memory Usage](Memory-Usage.md).
+
+#### 3 - I want this fixed or this feature or this module. How can I proceed?
+
+You can open a bounty and if developers are interested by the job, they might do it. Read this: [Bountysource](Bountysource.md)
+
+#### 4 - I have an issue, where can I get help?
+
+Read this carefully: [How to ask for help](How-to-ask-for-help.md).
+
+#### 5 - Why is it better to ask on Stackoverflow for support questions?
+
+- Because your question (and its solutions) **stays there** and you or other users **can find it later**, even using **google**
+- Because your question can easily **get lost in the chat**, and asking in the chat can only get answers by the users who are **currently online**
+- Because it's **super easy** (you can log in Stackoverflow using your **Google** or **Facebook** account - **NO NEED TO CREATE A NEW ACCOUNT**)
+- Because you can add common **tags** to your questions (like `c++`, `sql`, `docker`, `lua`, etc...) and have the chance to **receive help from users** that you would not find in the AC discord chat
+- Because it gives extra **visibility** to our project
+- Because it helps to **avoid duplicate questions**
+- Because by posting questions or answers you can earn **points** (a profile with many points Stackoverflow can help A LOT when you want to find a job as a developer)
+
+#### 6 - Why does AzerothCore not mimic blizzlike bugs or exploits?
+
+Although we strive to provide blizzlike content we also value user experience. This means that we sometimes fix bugs or exploits which existed during retail at the time to provide a better overall experience for the players.
+
+
+
+## COMMON ERRORS
+
+#### 1 - Mysql has gone away
+
+Change the max packet size in your mysql configuration (and report on our github which SQL file is to be incriminated). Check this <https://stackoverflow.com/search?q=2006+-+MySQL+server+has+gone+away>
+
+
+## DEVELOPMENT QUESTIONS
+
+#### 1 - I need a new hook for my custom module, what can I do?
+
+You can add the hook to your own fork (cf: [Create a new Hook](http://www.azerothcore.org/wiki/Create-a-new-Hook)) and create a new Pull Request to the official repository so we can validate it and merge it.
