My favorite memory was finally going through the dark portal when i hit 58 in TBC. Just the whole feeling of "OMG! I am finally going through!" and the excitement and the first things you see when you finally walk in, it was epic! And I don't think anything has beaten that yet in the sense of excitement and amazement...
My favorite WoW moment was the feeling I got during my guild's first classic Nefarian kill. After working for several weeks on Blackwing Lair, stalling on Vaelastrasz, then on Broodlord, and losing some key raiders to real life issues, we finally managed to get our act together and blow through the 3 drakes, then through Chromaggus. Then came Nefarian, with blue and red drakonids, a rather bad combination for our first attempts.We worked on the fight and made progress with every attempt, first clearing phase 1, then slowly but surely going through phase 2's class calls and the randomness that they brought to the fight, then the mass resurrection of all the drakonids as constructs -- holy wrath just filled the screen with numbers --...Then the feeling was there. Heart beating faster and fingers tensing up; quick glance at the raid frames and noticing most people are alive, except for most of the rogues...; healers' mana bars still looking good; here comes the next class call... it's a good one, we can do it this time!There we were, victorious. No achievement box popping up, no cinematic... just a collective sigh of relief to celebrate the accomplishment.I still get a similar feeling when the big tough bosses are about to be defeated, but that time on Nefarian was bv far the most special.
My favorite experience in WoW was in vanilla. The only raid I had ever finished at the time was UBRS as a dwarf holy paladin. Then one day I saw in chat that a guild was looking for 1 more healer to come do AQ 20 with them. They brought me in as I had to learn all of these new bosses I had never seen before. We went from boss to boss 1 or 2 shotting everything (except for Moam, we had no mana drains so we skipped him) and finally got to Ossirian. It took us over an hour but we finally got him down too.While killing Ossirian was definitely great the best time I had definitely had to be on Buru. My computer back then was terrible and when it did its animation of its shell breaking it actually caused me to lag out for about 30 seconds. To my relief, when I finally regained control of myself I saw that everyone was still alive and we made it through the rest of the fight with no problem.
The exploration on my first toon. Seeing all new environments creatures(this was my first real mmo and one of the few AAA mmo's on the market). Seeing Ironforge for the the fist time was crazy the walk up that long ramp made you feel like this was a impregnable fortress. Trying to find out where to go and the community of a smaller game was just something that I always will remember fondly.
My favourite memory from WoW is my biggest and funniest raid fail.My guild was progressing in ICC10, next boss to bring down was Festergut and we were all positioned at the entrance of his room, recovering from the last wipe.I was there with my main, a demonology warlock, so I went to my usual positon right near the walls. We were discussing the strategies in vent, and since we had plenty of ranged we were wondering wether I should be positioned in melee range or not. We were still running, ressing, re-buffing and stuff. One of my guildies finally said "Ghata, go melee", and without thinking twice, I did it. I realized I was pulling the boss only when I was in swing range. Festergut roflstomped away the raid. Vent was on fire.Since then, before almost every pull, someone tells me to go melee XD(FYI, I didn't fail on that anymore!)
Almost wiping on illidan at 3% and having our shaman pop up and finishing him off.
My favorite memory from world of warcraft was when I finally acquired Shadowmourne, It took me 8 months of raiding in a casual guild full of turnover, drama/anger between members over the weapon, 3 different raid leaders, the last included myself as nobody else would take the reins, and having so many people quit due to waiting on the upcoming release of cataclysm I had to recruit/replace nearly the entire raid team and start fresh with ICC eventually working our way back to being on Arthas. While I only got to enjoy shadowmourne for 2 months before the release of cataclysm, because of all the stress, drama, and work I had to deal with to get the weapon, it will be something I always treasure for as long as I play the game.
The best memory is when back in wotlk time we downed S3D for the first time. It took us around 6 weeks of almost everynight trying and everytime we had to show strategy to someone else, who died on void zone anyway. So after those weeks we managed to get group who tried it in the first week and we killed him at least. :)
My Favorite Moment in wow was discovering the out door portions of Ulduar The Frost Giants, the Time lost proto, the Mecha gnomes. It was all Really fun and delivered many.. "wow" moments. Up Until the point where we breached the gates of the raid I was totally enthralled by the beautiful area. In the raid I loved looking at all the neat "Gadgets" by Mimiron. It was an all together great experience. Kudos to you Blizzard.
I've had a lot of them, but I think of all of the great, favoritist memories I've ever had playing WoW, was when I finally got enough gear to main-tank Karazhan (which was the very first raid I had ever entered).

Favorite moment? I have a lot of good memories, from the day i got WoW at home, to the one i got my first 60, the first dungeon...But the best moment i have ever had in WoW, i suppose, was the day i got invited in my first raiding guild.We weren't good. We weren't competitive. But we were like a family. From the first moments into that guild, it was like everyone was knowing everyone else for ages, it was soo good. It wasn't the game only to keep me in front of my computer, it was the people i was playing it with.I'm not in that guild anymore, since io wanted to experience more content after WotLK was launched (yeah we were that bad :P) but nontheless they remain in my heart. Wonderful people and wonderful times.
