Whether it was scaling a mountain and running into an undeveloped region, or seeing an opposing faction do a mailbox tag raid half naked in your city, we've all have had some memorable moments in our ventures. From some random toon falling from the top of a really tall building and dying at your feet or that random chode who insisted on follwong you everywhere and asking for gold. There has to be at least ONE experience that you'll never forget. SO let's hear it!!!

The first time I took over as target caller/FC for a fleet in Eve Online and nailed the target calling execution to down 150 enemy ships while losing a handful.
Being on my first "raid" during Earth and Beyond, ending up with a rare plasma weapon which I gave to a mate to RI and he got the schematics for AND the weapon back.
Playing the 49 Horde bracket before xp-off on my Warlock with 3 other buddies who also had warlocks. We'd seduce a single target and single-soulfire them down 1 by one and they came off the graveyard hill - me giggling over open coms the entire time making everyone else laugh.
My first 24 hour Fleet Op to secure a major enemy hub in Eve Online.
There are so many.
I would definetely say ONE of mine would be playing WoW BC ofr the first time and hitting 24. Ended up spending a good 45mins walking naked and dying over and over trying to get to Elwynn Forest. Finally got their and suited back up. Found these two level 10s questing and I zapped one and as the other guy was running, I smited him once and as soon as I hit him, he must have been in mid jump because his body just flailed forward. They started to do the hiding behind a tree to rez and hearth but I found them everytime. And then one of their level 70 guildies showed up and my fun was over.
Another is probably remembered by many as......well........let's just call it Southshore. Oh the land of corpse camping and not having a flight path because someone decided to knix the flightmaster. I've even seen guys max level in full Epic PvP gear just swatting down lowbees left and right. For me it was a little frustrating at times but I enjoyed it. It was amausing and gave me a break from questing. All I know is when I finally hit around 68, I made me a little trip back to Southshore just to say hello......and murder everyone from the entrance with the flight master all the way to the end of the pier. No flight path. No Innkeeper. Shop Keepers. ANd I don't really recall but if there were any kind of profession trainers there, they were dead too. Fun times.

That would have to be sitting on the patio of a large blacksmith's house that I had set up outside of the northeast end of Minoc in UO, peacefully pounding away on stocks of iron ore while watching passing miners get murdered outside my front door by PKs.
Qeynos, all of it!
Getting beaten up by a wookie commando at Mos Eisley cantina sometime in 2004/5, I remember his name to this day and have victimised wookies ever since!
It took two years of therapy and this book to get me normal again,

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience"

So simple yet....
Turning Assassin in Ragnarok Online.. heck, there wasn't even a job change quest when i did it. Something about seeing my character's sprite turn into such awesomeness just will always stick with me.
Either when in WoW we stood for the first time in Molten Core and defeated the first trash mobs. Or... uhm.... when I was playing the WoW beta version, and I stood with my hunter in the barrens and my pet got hungry, and I asked a passing by player where the next city was, so I could get some meat for my pet so it wouldn't run away.
Those were the days...
Let's play Fallen Earth (blind, 300 episodes)
Let's play Guild Wars 2 (blind, 45 episodes)
Helping a guildie friend get his mount in WoW vanilla. He was on a really low end system that could barely play WoW so he was really gimped. We got him to 40 and got his mount. Even took screenshots to commemorate the event.
That was back when the journey was more important than the endgame. Good times indeed.
Funny, those are the very MMOs that I played for a significant period of time. Likewise I have too many good stories per game to limit it to one:
Earth and Beyond: spent a month or so farming to build a device used to summon a rare boss. Don't remember the details except that I was able to get about 15 guildies to help that night and acquired an 'ego matrix' from the boss. Some say I carry that ego even today...
I was an officer of a raiding guild in wow, which formed and cleared all the raiding content in TBC. But what I remember the most was before that. I was playing late one night with my GF, logged on an alt which she didn't recognize and ended up stalking her for about an hour. I would chase after her into zones that were way to difficult for my level 7 toon. Had her friend and the guild know it was me but she had no clue. Best part of the experience was we were in the same room and she did not once stop to ask what I was doing.
So many good things in eve, but recently my Alliance was deployed to harrass this other Alliance almost clear accross the map. Almost shut them down for a couple of weeks and had a couple of good fights the day before. It looked like our target was going to bounce back, hittting one of our towers, when we hit them with 15 or so bombers. We only dropped one set of bombs, all we needed to, most of the enemy fleet was destroyed, and the rest of them flew off, tower saved. Later that day they hit another tower with 6 dreadnaught and 2 carriers, support was light and in another system. (Would be more if we hadn't killed so many with our bombers) We were able to get the drop on the dreads as the carriers escaped. In both engagements we did not lose one ship. The next day the enemy announced that they were disbanding.
Stepping through the darkportal in world of warcraft, seeing the raging battle before me then looking up at the hellfire sky.

Doing the Darrowshire raid event with my guildies. Had no idea what it was when I first did it to help out. Then it was my turn a few days later after I did the quests. Man does it still bring sadness to think about the story of that one.

Informing people about your thoughts and impressions is not a review, it's a blog.
36 hours in the Plane of Fear trying to recover multiple corpses of mine and others in Everquest in 1999. Horrible but it has never faded in intensity to this day.
first time blowing up a rebel player base on SWG
such a great experience i still have the screenshots, was superb
The final assault of Tabula Rasa, we fought the enemy that was nearly immune to all forms of damage as it pushed us further back into out territories. At that final moment, the powers that be fired their last resort weapon and ensured mutual destruction of both sides
.
My most memorable MMO experience?
Probably actually being able to be myself via SWG. I could do whatever I wanted to do while progressing in the world at the same time.
I miss those times, I still find them, though nothing like they used to be like. Must just be getting older I think.
Mu Online.
We were 5 friends competing with eachother when we was at the age of 12 i think. We started to lose track on school and staying home. One of us had a grown voice back then so we payed him to call to our teachers to tell them we were sick(ofc payed him in ingame currency).
Also remember when we took the schoolbus home from school back then, i could see my friends RUSHING with all their power to get home ASAP. We also did this later on when we played Vanilla WoW, must have been 14 or something then.
Sick days however. Too bad im the only one left hooked here of us : (
The fate of all true gamers I'm afraid.
I'm hoping to bring a close knit community together for Guild Wars 2 and recreate that amazing sense of community again. I'm getting there, I have a good group of 30 of us at the moment who play Die2nite using my website to discuss and keep in contact, and sometimes just generally talk absolute rubbish, lol!

The community experiences as a whole in EQ. Actually reliving it now since I resubbed to it. Community is still the same as when I left 7 years ago. Friendly, helpful, non-elitist, and so far VERY mature.
Probably getting my first Yalmaha in Anarchy Online. It was my first MMO, and getting open world flying for the first time was amazing.

Raiding a Champ Spawn in Ultima Online 30vs30 and both sides called in reinforcments, after we looted the battle continued all night long. Was the most fun open world PvP ever...!!

My most memorable experiences all come from WoW, which I began to play mid-late in Vanilla after about a year and a half of FFXI.
The first was when I "accidentally" fell into a pond at the Night Elf starting zone. Coming from FFXI, I expected to bump into an invisible barrier around the water. I did not. Poor naive Homitu plunged head first into the water. When the camera dipped beneath the surface, I gasped outoud IRL. The beauty of the scene only partially struck me as I panicked and feared my character was about to drown, haunted by memories of a helplessly gargling Sonic the Hedgehog. I'm not sure I've ever been more immersed in a game world than at that moment.
The other memorable moment involves playing the awesomeness that is the Druid class in WoW, especially when compared to any and every class in FFXI. I believe I was in my low 30s, questing in upper Wetlands near the elite dwarf encampments. I ran into 2 other players, so we grouped up. We began to (not so carefully) pull small packs dwarves, which quickly turned into very large packs because they ran away and aggroed others when they got low on health. What ensued had to be a 15 minute fight for our lives. I cast offensive spells. I CCed with entangling roots. I healed my butt off. Because this drew a ton of aggro from the adds, I shapeshifted to cheeta form to kite the melee mobs around for several precious seconds. When some of them got too close, I shifted to bear form and tanked while my allies pulled them off of me. Once free, I shifted to cat form to deal damage from behind, only shifting back to elf form to quickly heal my wounded allies. Eventually the gun powder cleared revealing about 20 dead not-so-elite dwarves around the camp.
I had such a refreshing variety of skills at my disposal and I absolutely had to make use of every one of them or we never would have survived. The level of interactivity with my character and the non-stop action of the combat blew me away at the time. This type of encounter simply would never have been possible in FFXI.
Getting my third degree burned butt handed to me by a two foot tall Shadow Child on my first day in my first MMO Asheron's Call.
First time playing with my friend when we are 11 years old
We hesitated in front of the Butcher's room for like 10 minute before going in and saw that big red cow (Smith) rushed in front of me, after taking 3 hits and I popped all my pots and I died, he took 2 hits and all our gears are on floor. This is how I started my 12 years of MMO journey
btw that's Diablo 1
