ohh very nice. happy 5th birthday wowhead :)
My favorite memory of wow was hitting 60 for the first time on my first character. I had a druid named Ashina and I dinged grinding elite mobs in Tyr's hand as balance. I spent the whole day grinding and I was using Halloween candy so I was awesome. When I killed the mob that dinged me, I was big and orange :P I got a screenshot of it on top of the fountain. I felt so epic.
I have quite many, but always having been fond of the very early days the choice is quite obvious.~It must've been maybe a week after the very launch of the game, me and my friend sitting by the screen together amazed by the game itself, both of us were thirteen/fourteen years old, partly clueless and had chosen the alliance side, the character played at this time being a human female warrior.Questing on that character at the proud level of 8, in Goldshire none the less which was litteraly swarmed on the server we were on, and just trough all of that hype a tauren male came riding trough Goldshire on his kodo mount, having hardly looked over at the horde side's options we both litteraly screamed our lungs out; "What the hell was that?", proceeding by me falling off my chair, it was scary and amazing at the same time, and at that very moment I fell in love with the game, all the amazing things lurking around the corner for me to discover.
The best moment for me was around March 09, when i was a rookie.I joined this social guild called Love me Noth, on Runetotem EU compesed by 3 IRL friends and a bunch of other people.Maybe for the time could be nothing for many hardcore gamers (like i am now), but the first time we downed Heigan the Unclean in 10 men version after hours of try this was like a WOW!Nothing can describe the happiness of everyone on TS2.And that's how i started to play Resto druid, farming achievement, collecting mounts...etc.After 2 year and half, and have changed 2 guild (ifThenElse, and LFO where i spent the most funniest moments of my life and spent hour on vent since 4am with my best friend) now i'm in the top guild of the server, and yesterday night i have been promoted from trial to raider for the third time in my life, so a new beginning has come, it's the time to kick some ass to lead the server for another tier of raid.
My favorite memory was the day I finally was able to afford the epic ground mount in vanilla. It was sooo expensive back then and the joy of finally buying it was something I will not forget.
Sneaking around in the entry cave to get into Blackfathom Deeps, my party of 5 brave adventurers were skulking around and we saw 3 alliance paladins that were a few levels above us fighting some naga at the bottom of a pool. They didn't notice us, so we grouped, and watched them defeat the Naga, but before they could rest up from their fight, we descended upon them attacking them mercilessly. (Yay PVP server!)As we defeated the last one, he cried out "MANDOS!" at the top of his lungs. I still don't know what Mandos means, but i do not think it is a pleasant greeting :D
I've been playing WoW since it came out and been a raider durin that time. I killed C'thun when he was end-game, and was progressing on 4 Horsemen a lot.Anyhow, even tho I've killed about all bosses in WoW, the biggest memory I have is the Cataclysm Launch. Nothing beats that feeling. WoW redone, the best expansion so far with epic goblins and ferocious worgen. 5 minutes after launch, I was questing in Vashj'ir. Will never forget that night.Killing C'thun, LK25HC, Yogg+0 and Sinestra at the same time wouldn't beat Cataclysm Launch feeling.
For me it was the lightbulb moment when I made my way to Stormwind for the first time. I bought Warcraft in the early days of vanilla and decided that I wanted to experience it to the fullest - I read up some of the background from the manual, but not a lot else. This was obviously prior to the days of addons or even coordinates coming into the game, so there I was as a level 1 mage wandering around Northshire - I wasn't playing for hours on end, so it was a number of days before I even left Northshire and ventured into Elwynn Forest. Following the advice in the logon tips I stayed on the path and soon wound up passing Goldshire and entering the bustling metropolis of Stormwind. So *this* is where everyone else is I thought! Shops, an auction house, a bank...mounts...wow! I think I probably doubled the amount of time spent playing daily after that!I still play that human warlock - I reached level 60, then bought and never played through BC or WotLK due to RealLife commitments. I returned to discover a whole new world yet again around a year ago - in time to get myself to level 80 before Cataclysm. The last year has been fun, picking up achievements and gettind addicted all over again. My current 'addiction' is pet and mount collecting (which I track via wowhead), and I am cursing the years worth of Children's Week I missed!
My most memorable WoW moment would have to be back in Classic. Running Scholomance 10 Man for the 27th time with my guild. We've been trying for weeks to get my Wildheart Cowl. It finally dropped and everyone erupted in cheers! It was the more intense and best experience to date. I miss them all and hope they are all doing well!
It was waaay back, when I finally got the Battered Hilt. I finished the quest chain too.! I could not describe my happiness when I finally looted it! That is my absolute favorite memory.
my favorite world of warcraft moment is when me and my guild downed the Lich King for the first time and we were around 13% with 3 dps down but no one knew the real percentage and our tank was screaming "whats he at whats he at?" and we were all " just keep going just keep going!" and as people started dying and right at 11 percent we all died but the triggered the RP part of the fight and me and my roommates were all running around the in our apartment yelling and screaming knowing we jsut downed him =D

My first and most memorable moment in wow, was a little bit after I created my first character (deleted now), it was an Undead Warlock called Malerice (random name), I was about to get the level 12 and I went for the first time to undercity. The moment I entered the throne room, I stopped, looked around, noticed the blood on the floor and told my friend "This is where all that happened, where Arthas killed his father and destroyed everything", I really felt like part of the warcraft history just being there, and got hooked on the game since then.
I think my favorite moment in Wow over the past 2 years was when my guildmates and I finally completed A Tribute to Insanity, because it was the result of a LOT of time in that arena. Finally having just the right group with everyone playing at their best, and having the skill to pull it all off - it was amazing. Nobody even wanted to mention that we had gone so far without any wipes... it was like we all knew that mentioning it could jinx us.. and then of course it came down to the the wire at the end - and just barely making it - those close finishes where you survive are just epic.It was more than the fights though - it was the people I was with - my friends. We had spent so many unsuccessful attempts there, that having it all come together - that's probably my favorite Wow moment so far.-Bleakdemon Lethon. Alliance
my favorite moment is of the guild i am in now, ive played on the same server since the beginning, i was in an danish guild and talked to alot of them, ive since changed guild a couple of times and lost touch with the danes i knew, now many years later and an 9 month long break, i come back and joined an danish guild and the first i get in the gchat was wow its delinya, how are you and etc. was so surprised and happy that even if we hadent talked in years some still remembered me, and was happy that i was there! It still leaves me an fuzzy feeling inside that even though we have never meet, they still care about you.
That would definitely downing Nef for the first time with my guildies while in the same room as them!
My favorite memory of WoW, was sitting with my eldest son when we was two and letting him run around with a character. He would laugh if he feel off something and die. Little ones get entertained by the silliest of things at times.
