Definatly the time I killed Lich King back on WotLK with my best friend, wich I met on WoW. It was so epic it actually made me cry. Good old days

Favorite moment... Finally getting the red drake took forever to rep grind but worth it.

I guess the best moment I ever had in WoW was simply playing it for the first time and leveling my first character. We (a punch of friends and I) were playing all together... good times!

My favourite moment was a New Years eve, some years ago, when Trial of the Crusader was the current content. We had a guild on Darkmoon Faire server, and spend our new years, raiding.

We took a break at midnight to watch some fireworks, but continuted short after. The Camraderie was at its highest then.

To sum up it all, we even had our healer getting so drunk, that he got lost inside the circular instance... =)

I only started playing in 2012, but my most memorable moment was when the Ashes of Al'ar mount dropped for me after running that instance weekly for months on several alts.

I'd say my favourite moment would be when I first started roleplaying on Scarshield Legion back in 2011. The first few days were pretty slow, but not far into RPing I met someone who to this day I consider my closest friend and confidant. Thinking back to my nervous little character trying to get a word in edge ways in the middle of the Wayfarer's Rest, it seems strange to think that taking one step to try something different could create such a lasting and meaningful relationship.

The first time achieving Gladiator on the rogue.  Having the Netherdrake that not many people had on my server made me feel accomplished. 

[Unholyvamp 3]

Favorite moment eh... hmmm.

During Wotlk getting Earth Wind & Fire Server first on 10man.

My favorite moment is definitely when my guild finally was able to kill the Lich King. After so many weeks of wiping for hours each raid night, we finally did it and could claim our beautiful Kingslayer titles. I still use that title to this day.

I started playing WoW back in Vanilla, when I was 13. This whole game has had a resounding affect on what games have been, not only to me, but to massive ammounts of people. But the favorite moment for me (and I imagine for many others) is the first raid. For me, it was Molten Core. This isn't the watered down MC that came along when the content was dated. No, this raid was so fun because you had to get 40 people, from 40 different walks of life, all with different play-styles and work schdules in one spot listening to (atleast) one person. The moment you realize "Hey... I've been setting here for 25 minutes and nothing's happened except a bunch of grown-ups talking in a headset", is when you realize this isn't your average game. This is the World....of Warcraft!

Back in Vanilla when I hit 60 for the first time running through the Sunken Temple. Cant believe it was 10 years ago!

[stvnbwilliams 0]

My favorite moment was getting attuned to Molten Core and running the raid in an all druid guild called "Shift Happens".  I have been a feral tank ever since.

Used to play Alliance in vanilla. I remember the Onyxia attunement quest line that started in Burning Steppes and made you go rescue Bolvar from Black Rock Depths.

Did it with a bunch of real life friends. We had a blast (didn't regularly quest together). Was cool seeing how much of a bad ass Bolvar was.

While it wasn't a super significant moment in wow history it was really memorable for us.

I was twelve when I got the game (vanilla). My best memories? Having my shaman, looking at endgame gear and thinking: I'm totally going to get those!

 

I never got those in time, but I do remember trying to level my shaman on my pentium 4 at 4 fps FPSing the ground and still having framerate issues. No wonder I never got past lvl 12 with anything. It used to take me days to get to 13 and I was happy!

 

Then, After TBC launch, I got my new computer. It was a dream.

 

In game best memories? Doing the shaman's totem quests. I miss them. I really do.

Would have to be the time I, as a lvl 20 newbie pally, ran into the giant world boss green dragon... Taerar I think was his name. It was a great moment because I knew he could kill me by farting on me, and the spawn timer was pretty crazy. It just felt like I'd stumbled upon a big secret and really solidified my love for this game: big world, lots of secrets.

Best moment was really not a single one - leveling my first dwarf rogue and seeing the world for the first time

[warbunny 3]

My favourite moment in WoW, was in 2005/6, after spending the ENTIRETY of my DKP* in Molten Core for the The Eye of Divinity - An utterly useless trinket in itself, but when combined with the The Eye of Shadow, would allow a fledgling priest attempt to complete an epic quest - The Balance of Light and Shadow which involved protecting, healing and curing fleeing villagers from Stratholme in Northern Plaguelands.

The quest was very difficult, but the reward was the best priest staff in the game - I give to you Benediction!

The staff was utterly amazing just on its own, but when activated, it would transform into a Shadow damage staff - Anathema. Pure awesomeness!

 

*For the non-raiders amongst you, "DKP" or "Dragon Kill Points" were a resource built up in guilds. Every boss kill would reward a set amount of DKP, along with an amount gained per hour of raiding, which you could use to bid on sweet epics!

My favorite moment in World of Warcraft was & is playing alongside my little brother. It's allowed me to connect with him in such a fantastic way, and we've become huge fans of the MMO since we started playing it during Vanilla. I had played Warcraft II, III, and TFT fanatically, and WoW, seeing WoW as an MMO, it was like, my favorite story made so I could have a personal effect on it, and socialize with people in it.

 

God, that was just so cool. I had been bullied immensely growing up, and so I was more than a little introverted. It allowed me to get away from the stress of my non-existent social life and meet interesting people & do cool things on Azeroth with them. How could I not love World of Warcraft? I'm 10 years older now, and I play the game in healthy moderation, but I have a number of friends I've kept over the years of playing WoW, and I have a strong relationship with my awesome little brother. That's why I love WoW. <3

My favorite Warcraft moment was unlocking my Succubus through the old quest line. 15 year old me thought it would be awesome having a sex driven demon fight by my side, haha.

I had played wow for about a year and loved it but, I was playing on a real low end computer. So all my settings were set to low, low res, short visual distance, poor textures all that stuff. For Christmas my mom bought me a new high powered computer and I could run wow on full settings. I was in deepholm at the moment and when I cranked all my settings up to high it was beautiful. I was amazed at the glory and detail and scale of everything. I had played the game for a long time but I had never really gotten to see it. It changed everything, I spent weeks revisiting everywhere I had been to really see it for the first time Such a beautiful game, so much to behold, and finally I could appreciate it.

My favorite WoW moment didn't appear to be anything great at that moment, quite the opposite actually. It was way back in tBC when I went raiding with my guild in Karazhan. I entered the raid as a very happy shadow priest, and exited a few hours later - after a cloth healer loot fest - as a reluctant healer. 

 

Years later I am still healer - I have one of each. Looking back it was the best thing that ever happened in WoW ;D

There have been so many moments but I'd have to say when I got my very first mount at level 40.  I was sooooo sick of watching my toon run.

way back in time levelled my death knight on release of wothlk and kicked the hell outa of a fell reaver just for pure revenge of him stomping all over my hunter then going to to un,goro crater and doing the same to king mosh I took great satisfaction in seeing their corpes lying there

While my children were young I played many a computer game, among them was the original Warcraft: Orcs & Humans.

 

As my boys grew they became interested in console games. I would argue with them that the best console games were played on computers.

Interestingly, as they were able to find more and more time for gaming, as their mother (yes, women do play video games and have since the beginning; we just do so quietly) I found myself with less and less time to play.

 

Then one day, one of my sons asked me to take him to the mall so he could get a game called World of Warcraft. He described it to me with the impatience that young teenagers often have with parents but, my curiosity was piqued. (it was after all a computer game not a console game; my little boy was growing up.) 

 

Unbeknownst to me, my sweet son had also purchased an additional copy for me. I quickly installed it. He talked me through character choices so we could play together. It was apparent from the beginning that this was like no other game I had played. 

 

My first, in game memory, was trying to bring my first toon, an orc rogue, to Org, I was set upon by some NPCs and out of nowhere a shaman came to my rescue. He dropped some totems, wiped the NPCs, waved at me and left. That is when I knew what I wanted to be when I grew up and I started a new toon, my second, that became my main for years, a Tauren shaman.

The graphics have always been a favorite, on occasion I stop to watch the sun or moons rise.

 

There have been so very many memories made in this game. I have been able to counsel my sons with real life difficulties by relating them to WoW, from group dynamics, team building, to talking with their professors at college.

 

When the same son that bought me the game was a freshman at the university, he wasn't sure how to approach his professors until I reminded him that one of our guild mates was, in real life, an english teacher at a community college and he had no difficulty chatting with her. 

 

I don't know how WoW will end, I doubt there will ever be a game that will ever come close to it and that must be a burden however, I would like to thank the folks at Blizzard for its creation.
