My favorite moment comes from my earliest days of playing WoW. My first character that I played seriously was an undead warlock. After just twelve days I breached the level ten milestone. Strolling around in the Undercity and speaking with just about every npc, I was overwhelmingly impressed with the immersion I had felt. To say that I was subconciously 'taking it all in' would be an understatement. I spent the next day and half worth of playing time (maybe a week in real time) gathering leather through skinning and leveling up my new leatherworking profession. Needless to say I was very excited at the prospect of making my own armor that looked to be considerably more powerful and beneficial to my young warlock than the no-stat increasing white armor the quest rewards gave him.Finally I had created a whole suit of armor that I thought looked really cool and needed only to gain a few more character levels to be able to don this new armor; then I'd be able to crush any feeble opponent that came my way.Having run out of quests to complete in Tirisfal Glades, and at the same time noticing this 'big blimp thing' pulling into a tower, I said to myself, "hmm wonder where that goes."I arrived in Orgrimmar and the discovery xp I gained pushed me over the top to hit level 12. "Hey! Now I can equip those fancy new gloves I have in my backpack!" Obviousy this did not work out too well. Warlocks do not wear leather. My ignorance knew no bounds at this moment, and I asked in trade chat, "Anybody know what level warlocks can wear leather?" You can imagine how well that went, as well as the next several minutes of 'lol', 'nub', and a seemingly endless barrage of 'wow what a dumb bleep'.But this is my favorite memory. As humiliating as it was, this memory always sticks out in my mind. This was when everything was new to me. Discovering vast new lands, and creatures native to those specific lands. Questing was storytelling, and everything around me gave a sense that this world, this game world, had its own life force and I were a part of it.
My favorite memory was the ghoul takeover of Stormwind. We sat upstairs near the blacksmith waiting for someone to turn and wreaked havoc like only a 40 man zombie raid can.
I'm going to have to say... my fave was getting to 60 and realizing that flying was available to me. It was so exhilarating to just... go where I wanted... took a little bit to figure how to navigate (like swimming really) and it was just pure joy... being disconnected from the ground!
My most favourite moment I had ever experienced in World of Warcraft was the Scourge Invasion Pre WoTLK.Everyone gathering up and defending the Auction House, zombies smashing through defences adding new numbers to their army and the amount of people complaining was simply amazing. Also the fact you could talk to Alliance was great fun too! It was the first time I ever experienced a TRUE World Event, and simply the best I had ever experienced even up till now.Seeing all those necropolises even made it better by making the feeling that we were up against an army and those random Scourge Invasion attacks on zones was awesome too!. Sadly I do regret never buying the Argent Dawn tabard as I didn't know it was only for that particular event so I felt really broken... however the event itself and my little ghost companion friend is all I need.Killing Arthas was a close second.: Orgrimmar is under attack! ... ...braaaaaaaaainsss...
my favorite memory of WoW is when Kara was the raid to beat. My guild at the time took the time to grind like crazy to get to 70 and as brand new 70's we clamored to get in and give it a shot. Needless to say we got two shot but we all laughed about it and realized we should have thought it threw better and bought a few pieces of okay gear before charging on in.
I am relatively new to wow, but I was ecstatic when the raptor dropped from the new ZG and I won it on my third or forth visit to ZG. Later that day I also got the raven lord mount that I had been trying to get for over a month.
It's a tie between the first time I saw Rag come out of the ground, or this:Me and guildees were PVPing in warsong gulch at the time, either at level 60 or 70, I forget. Most of us were on offensive, but one guildmate (A rogue, named Skunkie) and myself were staying back at the base on defense. Mostly bored, until we had a mage arrive. Frost mage, to boot. The bastard was good, toyed with us a lot (we were both melee, I was a warrior at the time). We got him low, he got us low, and at one point he frost nova'd us with the intent to own us at a distance.So Skunkie and I did the only thing we could think of (without consulting each other, we simply both had the same idea): Whip out or bows, and shoot him with arrows. One arrow from each of us was enough to kill him XD
I wouldn't say that this is my *favorite* memory of wow, but one the funniest.So I was doing Arathi Basin one day back in early BC - just another uninteresting round that we'd probably lose. Then, a horde druid tapped a base.Well, the guy was named Ecowarrior. And he tapped the lumber mill.So the announcement said: - "Ecowarrior attacked the lumber mill!" -I thought it was hilarious. Freaking hippies. Protect the forests, and all!
I had just started being able to run randoms as a new disc priest. I was a real new guy and getting really beat up. It was about 2 in the afternoon and I was thinking this priest thing is not much fun, a lot of work, and i was getting kicked out a lot for stupid stuff. I was going to just ditch the toon and maybe even WoW, but I would give it another run. My next run I get with 4 gnomes, that were all together. They all had those pandarein monks and they were all doing those kung fu noises. They were really helpful and we made the run. Then another and another, and another. They really helped me and I laughed so hard watching those gnomes run around with their monks screaming and kicking tail..2 hours with them..They changed my approach to a priest and to wow overall..I learned that the fun in WoW is in the team and helping each other out. Everytime I run a random now I am hoping to see those 4 gnomes.Wow!
My favourite memory of WoW was when we finally downed C'tun in Vanilla after 2 months. It felt so good.
