I don't think I really have just one "favorite memory". More of a favorite feeling, a feeling that really leaves a lasting memory... The feeling of satisfaction when you finally kill that progression boss that you and your guild-mates have been striving to defeat after many long nights, followed by the screams of joy over Ventrilo. I think feelings such as this is one of the main reasons that World of Warcraft is such a great game, and has tenaciously lasted as long as it has.
My favorite memory was when I first met my current boyfriend via WoW. He was in the guild I joined, and I remember spending endless hours out in Stormpeaks "farming" herbs and the Time-Lost Protodrake so I could spend time with him. As of tomorrow, it will be our 2 year anniversary. Thank you, World of Warcraft.
My favorite moment was when my best friend got me in his guild, and I got to actually see the Lich King and down him.. The guild I used to be in was lazy and unfocused, and it was rarely ever fun playing because of lame drama.. so after a server transfer to Elune, my original home.. back I went with my pal Elucid and we killed that jerk Lich King! Everyone else in his awesome guild were geared to the @#$% and every boss managed to drop an up for me almost.. was a very fortuitous and memorable day by far!
My favorite moment would be with my very first character, an Undead priest. I knew nothing about the world, so as I made my way from Deathknell to Brill, I was very, very careful to avoid the giant, hulking abomination walking along the road. I only later realized he - Gordo - was friendly and gave a quest. Very shortly after that, I also saw a giant tower near the town and decided I had to stay away from it - something that massive just had to have enemies in it. (No, there wasn't a zep around it at the time I got to Brill.)
My favourite memory in wow was when I finally got my leaf for my first main, Bynd, the hunter. It took me at least 50 runs through MC to get that damn leaf, but sure enough, it finally dropped for me, and I got my epic bow. I remember it as if it were yesterday (and no, it was not just yesterday, it happened during vanilla, long before an expansions were around!)
I believe mine would have to be the first time I stepped into the arena during BC as a Ret pally. God, that was fun. My first real PvP experience in WoW, too. I was paired with a Demo lock at the time and we just had a blast with it. We weren't experts by any means, but we did beat many popular comps at the time and had fun doing it. We had a falling out at some point, but those days of BC were, are, and probably always be my favorite :)
My favorite memory has to be going for a Realm First! when Cataclysm came out. I had planned out in advance to go for Realm First! Illustrious Archaeologist. I race-switched Cayleb to dwarf for the Archaeology bonus racial, slept for 18 hours prior to Cata's launch, and asked around the guild for warlocks and mages to help me get from place to place faster. I did end up getting a Realm First, but it wasn't the one I expected. I hadn't realized they had added achievements for Realm First! Grand Master, so when that popped up on my screen I was both pleasantly surprised by the win and mildly annoyed that my competition had gotten some heads-up on my progress towards the end goal. In the end, I lost out on the other Realm First! by only three minutes, but it was well worth the effort. When I contributed my congratulations to the undoubted flood that winner received, he congratulated me in turn and we had a great exchange about the race and our efforts and how his guild mates goaded him when I got the earlier Realm First! While I didn't set out to lose the race (who does?), I couldn't have lost to a better sport, nor to someone who clearly also worked hard for it and deserved the win.
Favorite WOW moment....It is not so much a moment in the game but what the game has done for me. Let me explain....I live on the west coast, my oldest son lives in Alaska, we had a strained relationship over the years to a point in time where we did not speak to each other at all.He has been playing WOW for four years, my youngest daughter for 3 years. My daughter talked me into trying the game out along with my wife, their step-mother. As we became more familiar with it, we began to do quests and instances with her, one day we needed a port and she whispered my son. He shows up and I said hello. His only comment was "hi", ported us and left.Days later we met up again when I had a question and whispered him, he was curt and gave me "just the facts" but he did answer. As time went on over the past two years we began our relationship again both in the game and outside the game. It gave us a common area to begin talking. I now look forward to the phone calls from him and hope to visit him soon.Over the past two years we have shared all the moments of WOW together, the victories, the wipes, the bad times, the good times and the funny times as not only a father/son but as a family with another son joining us along with girlfriend. Together we play, we talk, we laugh at me when I do really stupid things such as putting the fire out in Thunderbluff, clicking on my mount to fly away only realizing as I plummeted to my death that it was a ground mount not flying...the laughter was so hard in vent that no one could fight the guards and we all died.So I want to thank World of Warcraft for giving me and my family countless hours of entertainment, the meeting of new friends and most of all....time with my son both in the game and out. You have allowed me to be a father again to my son and for that I can never thank you enough.In closing, congrads on your anniversary, the great service you and World of Warcraft provide and being a part of helping me reach my son.thank you,Yugstak
My favourite moment in wow was running my first successful bg on Alliance in the Rampage Battle Realm. The Horde had always dominated every bg up to that point, but this particular run the Alliance actually cooperated with each other. Not only did Alliance win, they stomped the Horde. It is a very fond memory and a sigh of relief. ;)Now I look forward to the building of the Firelands and my long awaited scorchling pet.
I think my favorite memory would be leveling my first character to 60 back in vanilla WoW. It wasn't necessarily reaching 60 that was so awesome, but more so the journey getting there. I leveled up with two buddies that live a few hundred miles away. It was really cool since I don't get to see them that often anymore. I leveled up my rogue and they were leveling up a Prot Pally and a Holy Priest. It was great since we had the core for forming a group to run dungeons. The experience of leveling up with two really good friends was priceless. I've had some amazing times since then, on different characters as well, but that experience will always stand out to me.
One of my favourite WoW moments, was playing in a net cafe, so sans my nostromo and gamer mouse, and no custom UI, and I'm riding across Hillsbrad during Vanilla WoW, so of course bored level 60's abound (so glad the forsaken nuked southshore..).A warrior charges me out of nowhere and hamstrings me off my mount, and a mid 50's mage joins in to grab some free honour.But the dice came up Kale that day. I managed to kill off both, do a little dance on their corpses and ride off to whatever random thing I was doing out there.The guy next to me had been watching and said "That was amazing!"`I laughed and said I was sure I would die, and had no idea how I pulled that off.Fun times.
