As a fresh player with a very young gnome, I had heard rumors of a guy in Stranglethorn who sold parrots. With aspirations of becoming a pirate, I took off south from Westfall running like I was possessed. I eventually wound up in the jungle, in the rain, in the dark, being devoured or nearly devoured by big cats at every turn. I noticed a tall, bearded figure standing in the shadows. He just ran up to me and stared down at me telling me I was quite funny looking. I took offense. He laughed out loud. We stood in the rain and chatted for a while and he at least tried to kill the big cats as soon as they caught the scent of frightened gnome. He just laughed at me and said he didn't know of any guy in the jungle selling parrots. It was probably my first time seeing an elf in-game and it was just a very surreal experience overall. Eventually, I found Booty Bay and bought my parrot. I don't play WoW currently, but would enjoy going back in to explore the new areas.
the game made me wow when i saw that the gold seller where placing dead bodies on the ground in stormwind to promote there gold selling website. for 1 month and blizzard did nothing >>
My favorite memory of WOW was when myself and others took on Onoxiya for the first time. We had no clue how hard it would be but! we won and seeing the dragon skull hanging from the gates was a nice touch, even if people didn't believe that we did that. We knew the truth, we had the battle wounds to proof it.
My first was when i was raiding Kharazan.. Just bought my WoW, got to the lvl, found myself a guild and started raiding.. My thought was.. maybe i'll ride that someday..
My favorite moment was undoubtedly early Wrath when I'd joined a raid to down Ony, she was so weak back then but managed to destroy the raid leaving only me (69 DK Unholy or Blood) and a 67 ret pally. We survived the battle from about 67% just the two of us, I'd swapped to frost spec the moment the few 80's we had dropped and had a lot of fun DnD'ing her children when the pally would find his way into their eggs. Of course there are other moments where I was the clear saving factor in what would've easily been a wipe, even a few when I was the clear cause. But that moment stands out to this date, it was my first time in Ony's lair, and DK gameplay is how I love my characters to play (Melee w/ some leech capability and a few ranged spells).
Death rides upon the swift wings of Destruction, Despair his shadow stifling all hope.
My favorite moment was the beta of the original which i was playing with my friends on an early own serveremu before WoW was released in germany. We just played whole weeks till launch and i thought: "wow if its so cool with only 5 people, it must be imazing with thousands more" so i bought it the first day it came out to play it a long long time!
well i do have like thousend favorite moments....but my most favorite moment is when i killed Lord Rhyolith on heroic mode with my guild beeing the second team in guild and we killed it before the first team in guild and we made second place on realm and i was named raidleader for that team i have like 10 screenshots from that moment the problem is that i changed my PC since then and i lost them but that moment made me proud of what i accomplished fact beeing that we killed him with my personalized tactics
I was mostly into FPS and WoW was my first real MMOrpg, so from the switch of different communities...i would have to say my first guild invite. getting together on vent with 50 other people all doin the same stuff ...chatting. getting to know eachother...that first family based feeling in a game.
My favorite, and most frustrating experience, was the first time I logged in and a friend escorted me from Teldrassil to Ironforge back in vanilla WoW. He kept forgetting to stay with me and I kept drawing aggro in Menethil Harbor and would die many times. It took forever back then and I loved it.
My moment would have to be when my guild, Ninja Kitties, decided to have some fun and organized an attack on Crossroads, pre-CATA. We had about 22 of our members, between the levels of 16 and 80 (all Druids) and picked up a couple of high level Paladins on our way there who were curious what this mob of kitties was up to.
We met up in Darnassus, took the boat from Rutheran Village to Auberdine, and then trekked across Darkshore, Ashenvale, and finally through The Barrens (in kitty forms, of course). Once there, we held Crossroads for about 45 minutes before the Hoard was able to mount a counterattack.
I am not much of a PvP player, but this was the most fun I had in WoW. I did feel bad about the Hoard players that couldn't do their quests while we were in control, but the fun was worth the guilt
Personally the only modern MMORPG trend that annoys me is the idea that MMOs need to be designed in a way to attract people who don't actually like MMOs. Which to me makes about as much sense as someone trying to figure out a way to get vegetarians to eat at their steakhouse. - FARGIN_WAR
For me it was when i was playing with all my friends wow and we where doing an instance at lvl 20 or so and my friend had a warrior and I a paladin and he tanked and i was healing and he was like "I dont wanna tank with a shield so I ll just use two swords" and then I am like "if you dont tank properly then ill just do the same with healing" and thats how we where having a lot of fun.
Raiding the Alliance's capital cities to kill their leaders with a whole bunch of people... it was an endless caravan of death crossing thru provinces, killing anything that crossed our path.
Also stealth camping the entrance to Stormwind with a couple of Rogue buddies! Killing NPCs and PCs, trying to make our way to the main bank :P

Ages ago, anytime I would see Rend Blackhand shout out "WOOT!"
Gotta say, it was always good for a hoot.
You know what's fun about chaos? I do, but I won't tell.

On Christmas Day 2008 I stood in Stormwind giving away free gold 500 per person.
I made a list of the people I gave gold to so they couldnt recieve more than one gift.
I gave away 15k that morning and made people very happy.
