PvP-ing at lvl 70 on my priest. It used to be mildly fun to go shadowform + Spirit of Redemption. DPS while alive, heal while dead :)
What is your favorite memory from World of Warcraft and why?The most favorite memory I have acquired in my WoW career was witnessing a Devilsaur being kited by a Hunter through the Thousand Needles when I was leveling my 20+ Shaman during Vanilla WoW. The shaman was my first character and seeing this HUGE Devilsaur for the first time was the most terrifying but spectacular thing a newbie could witness. I took as many screenshots as I could, but eventually lost the screenshots over the years.
My favorite memory was a long time ago,when i invited a childhood friend to play, and some time later when we were around lvl 25, we took a screenshot in front of the cemetery in Duskwood,was hallowen, and we were wearing identical, as we were leveling together, me a warrior, and my friend a paladin, we used pumpkin head, its a best shot we got, because I'm a gnome and he a draenei, seemed like Dany Devito and Arnold Schwazneger on twin's movie. fun times....
My favorite moment was getting a 40g tip from a multi-boxer for a port from Stormwind to Ironforge!
My favorite moment in wow was actually the wrathgate. While not the most epic cut scean in game anymore, the first time i saw it i was so surprised that after watching it i actualy jumped out of my chair. I still watch that from time to time too.

My fondest memory of WoW was the first time I was in a well planned raid on the old version of Onyxia when my toon was lvl 55. When we finally brought her down, the adrenaline rush was worth the almost three hours of grinding just TRYING to kill her. And then succeeding when we were able to get that last healer we needed in the raid. Ahh.....the good old days....Now Onyxia is even tougher, and I havent been able to kill her in the raid since she became lvl 80. Lol.
My favorite memory was during Wrath on Thursday nights. My brother was in the Marines and my cousins are on the Pacific while my husband and I are on the Atlantic. Despite time and distance constraints, we managed to set time a side to have an amazing time wiping on Firefighter (10 player) or A Tribute to Mad Skill (10 player).It is corny but WoW brought us together, even though we couldn't be physically there. I could give my brother that emergency cool down when he needed it most!
My favorite moment is every "Gestalt-like" moment...hearing my feet in the snow, swimming in the water, watching the sun rise and set, flying and most of all walking in the rain. WOW takes me to a place when I need to be indoors (at home/RW) and wish to explore the unknown. WOW revitalizes, challenges, and allows for experiences that are above and beyond the RW. It is an experience for the senses.
One of my most cherished experiences in my memories of WoW is the time I spent on my trial dwarf hunter years ago during BC. Back then, I was filled with the sense of incredulity at every single moment and experience. I was my dwarf stepping into the serene winter of Dun Morogh, filled with a great hatred for the ugly troggs, trolls, and leper gnomes infesting it. I tracked them back to their respective lairs, caves and cities, cursing my inability to penetrate their seemingly endless numbers... Until I tamed the fierce rare wolf, Timber, after dying multiple times to the wolves guarding him. He was a unique pet in Dun Morogh, set apart from his wolf brethren by his size; he was more like a orc's worg mounts. Together, we decimated the invader's bases and ignored the fact that they began to respawn as I left. I don't have that trial account any more, and have had my whole world view of the ideology of mmos shattered by my raiding experience. But I won't forget the first time I returned to Anvilmar after slaying countless troggs, trolls, and leper gnomes thinking that I had achieved something. I accidentally hit the map key and right clicked. And right clicked. And right clicked, and right clicked again. I just sat there, and thought... WoW.
I actually have 3 favorite moments that i will never forget1.Being a WacraftIII player, i already had a good understanding of the lore to Wow, and decided to give the MMO a try after my dad had bought it for my mom and himself.This was in "vanilla" Wow. But i remember when i was making my character, A Nelf druid i named Souzan: after my little sister who was dying (My sister lived :) I still play "her" character, she is my main today) The animation to me (a 10 year old at the time) was amazing, the graphics were so pretty it was breath taking. All the characters seemed amazing to me (even the undead) when i saw all the customizations i played with them for hours trying to get her a right look i thought she deserved.2. I was trying really hard to learn how to play my class, and died so many times i almost felt like giving up (My dad wouldn't help me, he was busy on his toon) When another nelf, named lightsbane, he was a priest, came over and asked if i needed help. after telling him the problem, he took me under his wing and helped me quest and level. After about a hour of playing together, he asked if i wanted to join his guild "Insomniacs unite" (After he explained what a guild was of course) All the people were so nice, they were all higher leveled of course, so i felt a little silly talking to them all. They all helped me out, taking me to dungeons and even giving me money for a mount once i got to 40 (Gold was a HUGE deal back then, even having 5g was big) Once i got to 60, we started raiding as much as we could, i would spend all my free time on Wow just so i could talk to them. That guild has long since disbanded because we kept losing guildies in TBC, I still talk to the old GL, and lots of the others who i befriended, including Lightsbane, the guy who made it all happen. I will NEVER forget those guys/girls as long as i live, they made my Wow experience so enjoyable ive come to even writing a fanfic with us and our adventures (Im a total Wow nerd XD) 3. And lastly, the final raid we had together as a complete guild, we were raiding karazhan for the first time as a a group, so we were all excited. After countless wipes and even having to quit for a night, then coming back drew some of us to even crying. only then, did our guild leader started screaming "Today, We are going to own this instance no matter what!" and went all crazy mage-tank on the bosses, we finally got to the prince, and made a sudden rush to kill him, everyone of us was dead except for me, her, and a healer. I went into my best bear form mode i could, at 2% our heals died, and at 1% Portia died, i thought it was over........and then he died. The roar of happiness from vent was overwhelming, i actually broke down and cried. it was the greatest moment in my raiding history, I eventually became known as the prince-slayer up until the guild disbanded, me and a few of the others still joke about it today. Hope this wasn't to much :) ---sincerely, Souzan, Guardian of Cenarius of Nightfall-Tanaris "Temple of Lost Souls"
My favorite memories are the cinematics for the new patches. They make you soooo eager to play the new content, that it makes it unbareable to wait. They can make you feel so emotional, and really get you into the storyline of the game. They make you notice more of the smaller details, storylines, and images used to enhance the experience. Even the little background things like textures and effects. Good job team! Been a 'wow' of a time playing :)
Karazhan, NIghtbane. My group had lost three dps and a healer through the course of the fight, but we were stubborn old timers and didn't easily give up. In fact, that fight was a record in just how long we could hold an undead dragon's attention before he just moved along to something more...uhm.... dragony.As a mage, I used everything I had to push my mana pool. Back in those days, mana pots had a cooldown, but once it was up, you could pop another one. I had actually run out of pots, but had everything in my bags to make more. So after the 'omg run around, then kill skeletons' phase, I set to making some mana potions in order to keep on trucking. Just seemed like the stubborn thing to do.Maybe the old chap finally died from old age, but one way or another, we got to kick him for epics that attempt. More important than the loot was the screenshot proclaiming "Mirosa, are you actually making mana pots mid fight?" which had been followed by a round of just plain awesome laughs. All these years later, I'm still playing with many of those same people, and always have an ample supply pots (or mats!) =)
I soloed Karazahn as an elemental shaman, it was truly a difficult but rewarding experience! The creepy atmosphere, the transition from haunted 'castle' to dimension-shattered library(!), the fun bosses (Especially the theater and the chess game), it's truly one of the best raids.
I remember in Vanilla when I rolled my first toon, and I got it to level 30 after like 2 months. I thought I was so awesome. I would walk around Darnassus (because I was a Night elf) and talk to the lowbies, "showing them the ropes." I didn't even know that there were other Cities like Darnassus I had never even been to Eastern Kingdoms. I would strut around in my leveling greens and occasionally get my butt handed to me by the pack of mobs that I got a little too cocky with. I always look fondly on those days, because that was when it was the most fun for me, when it was all new and there was so much to explore, and minor things gave you a sense of accomplishment.
