My favourite moment was finally getting my magical crawdad after SIX Mr. Pinchys - excuse me: five Mr. Pinchys which only granted me furious crawdads and stupid presents - the sixth one finally gave me what I was longing for with the second wish... how I hated fishing afterwards ;)Last wish is still lying in my bank reminding me to never give up! :)
One of my most memorable miss haps was a time in Blackrock Spire. I was helping a guildly get the Worg pup & Smolderweb Carrier when i fell through the hole that drops you just outside Blackrock Caverns & must have clicked the drill because i ended up in Hyjal, to my guildy & my GF's surprise. We all had a laugh considering i have great balance & co-ordination in RL & never trip & fall unless it's in SPECTACULAR form. I once slipped while working in the kichten & ended up juggling the stack of dishes i was taking from the dish pit to the front line of the resturant. I had managed to keep any dishes from falling or breaking but was surprised to find something missing from the sink that had just saved me from being flat on my back. The dish washer & I walked around the table where the servers set the dirty dishes, to find the legs to the sink had been kicked clean off & slid half way across the kitchen while i was catching my balance.

Probably going to sound stupid, given that since then, I've leveled 8 toons to 85, downed raid bosses, killed the various baddies menacing Azeroth & Outland, but my memorable moment was in Stonetalon Mountains, back in patch 3.2:I was sent to retrieve dismember a mechanical arm from Gerenzo Wrenchwhistle, high above Cragpool Lake on a series of platforms. I fought my way through his minions (okay, fought is a relative term here, since I was playing my druid, in catform with stealth), and as I dispatched him and wrenched his arm out, his little helpers thought this wasn't the best thing to happen, so they decided to attack me. I took a running leap off the platform, freefell into the water, popped swim form, and took off. I had the goofiest smile on my face afterwards.
My favorite memory of WoW has got to be the first time i ever played, just the thrill of playing something new, and exciting..
Only having started playing wow mid 2009, I never head a chance to do Veteran of the Shifting Sands quest chain until 2010. it was an incredibly epic journey for a lone level80 mage, going back to the universe's lore and past and enlisting help of various more or less random adventurers hungry for the extraordinary experiences. It definitely will remain in my mind as the most powerful memory- every single time I now visit those normally boringly familiar places, like Duskwood, Azhara, Moonglade or Silithius, I now have tears of nostalgia as they henceforth mean so much more.And the sense of accomplishment was incredible as well- being a level 80 was OP for the quest chain, perhaps, but to try and gather 2-3 more players interested in running the cosmic errands and old raids was a challenge of its own.
My favorite moment in WoW was after I'd returned from a complete departure of the game due to guild drama and the impact it had on some real-life friendships. I had left at the cusp of Wrath's release (the beta was out, but the release was a few months off still), and never completed my Champion of the Naaru due to some Magtheridon timing issues (I was present for the kill, but had forgotten to put the trials quest back in my log after dropping it due to log space limits, but I was present for a legitimate level 70 kill before the difficulty reduction of Wrath). I returned to WoW at the urging of some other friends who wanted to play with me again. To my surprise, I had put the trials quest in my log before my account froze, and according to various wow sites, it was still possible for me to claim my title because of this. Since I had just returned, I didn't really have a guild backing my attempt, so I had to build a Magtheridon run from scratch while still at level 70 (I had seen some suggestions that you wouldn't get the title if you were any higher than that). Like herding cats, it was, as the Wrath content was still new and it was hard to convince people to help me get a title that we weren't even sure was in fact going to pop when we did it. Eventually, I got a full raid and we descended. Magtheridon fell, I flew to Shattrath and walked up to the Golden Windchime, A'dal, who granted me my post-Wrath title. Something very special about that.
The opening of the gates of Ahn'Qiraj. After months of farming - as a server - everybody gathered for an event so epic it made high end computers choke. My computer actually died from this event, it overheated and melted the CPU. I had to order a new one and wasn't in AQ40 with my guild until weeks after the event! At the time it was horrible, but looking back it's undoubtedly my favorite moment. If only for the memories :)
My favourite moment in WoW was our second 25-man Rotface kill with the guild. People were so unfocused and distracted that they were dropping like flies, having most of the raid die over the course of the fight. In the end, there was the guild's main tank, one single healer and 3 DPS burning the boss down for the last 5% or so. Eventually even the healer, tank and 2 of the DPS died, leaving a Blood DK (remember, Blood could be a DPS spec back then) to finish off the last 50k health of the boss. By a lucky streak of avoidance, the DK died a split-second before his diseases managed to kill the boss. Rotface was the 26th to go down that try.
I think sometimes, we get caught up and lose sight of the fact that ultimately, WOW is a video game meant to be fun. Sometimes we need a reminder of that, whether it's intentional or not.So probably my favorite WOW moment was actually a guy trying to rage at me. "Hunter, if misdirect is down please don't use auto shot. It's AUTOmatic. Nobody can hold aggro from that."Needless to say, it has become something of a guild meme. Nobody would have believed me if I hadn't taken those screenshots!
The first time my father showed me all the fuss in Hillsbrad Foothills, the insane hundreds of people that fought just for the simple pleasure of fighting, the fights that went on for days, they were easily the best thing I've ever experienced in WoW.People from level 20-60, just bashing on each other all day long, before the PvP ranks and before Honorable kills, back when some classes were pure utility, and others were pure nuke.That stuff was ridiculously fun, the crazy mindless world PvP. I think even if a zombie apocolypse were to hit the world, I'd still never completely forget the anarchy of WoW Classic Hillsbrad Foothills.
My favorite wow memory was logging onto my first character and actually playing the game n dieing alot...
My current favorite moment was long ago. I was new to WoW, but experienced enough to have died (what seemed like gobs of times) and been on ghost walks where I'd no business being, just to look around. I was MIstRider! a level 8 troll and my real-life BFFs were taking me to ORG to see the sights. I watched in compete awe as they one-shotted boar (for easy AH cash, they explained) and listened as they identified character classes by LOOKING and seeing what buffs appeared. It seemed like magic to me at the time, but it was nothing to the big city--ORGRIMARR. There was so much happening there! So many players, so much to do. I'd done maybe 200 quests (I had more than one toon, even at that point.) and I asked my friends if they knew how many quests there were. They laughed and said there were THOUSANDS, with more possible if I'd play alliance. There was a slight pause, then one of them added "You know that Blizzard is constantly developing more content, right?" The RUSH I got at that moment has not been matched by any dungeon yet. When Cata changed so much of the 'familiar' space, it gave me a close second, though. Thank's Blizzard...and all the rest of you who's characters have touched mine. (Gametime: BC had been released, but I hadn't installed it yet. I wanted to be SURE it was worth the time and money.*laughter*.)
