Right when I had first started playing the game, all those years ago, my friends and I decided to have a makeshift LAN party. We stayed up into the small hours of the night questing in Westfall, and I had gone exploring a bit. I ran over a hill, and I saw a pack of gnolls, some who had a certain effect on, maybe Bloody Strike. Either way, they looked like their hands were all red. I turned right around and ran back to my friends shouting "You do NOT want to go over there! I don't know what they are but they're ON FIRE!" I was so scared about being killed by the high level monsters on fire. Maybe it was because it was 3AM, but I still find it hilarious.
My favorite moment in WoW was when I finally got my staff of Immaculate recovery off bloodboil in black temple. I wanted that staff so bad because of how cool it looked. lol
Edit: I thought of something even more epic! I was new to the Arena side of WoW, in WOTLK and not knowing how to form an Arena team I just did skirmishes. So one day my friend who was some what new to WoW asked if we could do Arenas together since he JUST hit 80. So he rerolls Holy with like quest greens and im somewhat decent PvP gear and start the skirmish. The match starts and its a warlock/pally combo. I think alright i'll handle the lock you hold the pally till i'm done. WRONG. They were so pro...The lock does this like epic jump of the middle, starts casting Immolate like in mid-air and before I even have a chance to say "I need help". My friend says...."I'm down" HAHAHAH. Too epic. We lost so bad so still talk about that one match to this day.
I started playing WoW in the last few days of Beta, but never really got "into" the game. After it went retail, I didn't really have any huge desire to got into the game. But my son (9 yrs old at the time) kept pestering me to get him the game so he could play with friends, so about 3 months in, I finally caved an bought the box. Like any "good" parent, I wanted to check out the game, the commuity, and such to make sure it was OK for such a youngster to be playing. I started out with an Undead Warlock, and just started picking my way through the starter quests, and checking out how the game worked. After a weekend of messing around, I decided it was Ok for him to play...keeping the mature filter on...and turned it over to him. After about the 2000th "hey Dad, how do I (insert question here), I decided the best thing to do was play the game a little more to get a better feel for it, so I could help him out. Well...the don't call it World of Warcrack for nothing. I was hooked. I spent probably a good week or more just questing, wandering, and killing the mobs throughout the undead starter areas. Then....I just "stumbled" into Undercity. And to this day, that is still the most surreal and memorable experience I have of the game. I just wandered around, amazed at the size, the colors, and the overall epicness that this amazing city was. I couldnt believe the number if other players....and the mounts....and their gear. It was during that time that I really first realized that "World of Warcraft" really was a "World". At that time I thought that there was no way that anyone could ever explore this entire game....never complete all the areas and quests. Years later, that few hours is still my best memory of the game, and something that can never be replicated.
The first time I soloed ZG at level 80 on my Hunter. I spent weeks tracking down all the gear (getting BC raids together so I could get my T5 2-piece was a royal pain), and reading up on strategies on Elitist Jerks and practicing... and the reward was so utterly worth it when I was able to knock out the fights I'd been failing on, and take shots at the mounts (which never dropped, but still...):)
Fondest memory, hmm, probably running into Felwood during WoW beta, level 34 troll hunter. I mean, that was all the high level stuff! Looked awesome, got owned :(Shortly after beta ends and I end up shooting some gigantic chicken in crossroads! Good times.

Undoubtedly the first time I rolled a night elf hunter back in 2005/2006 and I saw a BoE item and I had to ask in general if I'd never be able to unequip it.It's a nice thing people gave straight answers :PZzz. Edit.There's also that time I was queuing for 2s with a guildie and I didn't realize I was wearing my city/ICC gear.Turns out the other team's second disconnected and I ended up winning.
I've been playing a couple months before WOTLK came out.when I reached level 80 and explored the first raid instance I regretted myself not playing earlier.I moved on and cleared a bit of everything, still I was not a hardcore raider and was still exploring every single corner what World of Warcraft had to offer.Ulduar got thrown on the live servers, the first raid instance that got heroic modes. Beeing in a social raiding guild we did not had the skills nor people to get to those heroics, we never killed Yogg'Saron and while thinking of that I had a new goal in wow...beeing in a hardcore raiding guild. Somewhere while ICC was launched I decided to move on and changed to a better guild, still I was not satisfied enough with the progress we had. I was guiding our little raiding group through normal and even heroic modes of ICC, but never managed to kill LK heroic. In meanwhile I even wanted to get higher than this, my next goal was to get a server first...ofcourse I thought it would only stay with a dream because I never thought of myself that I was 'a very good player' that would get into the best guild on the server.We moved along and Cataclysm came out....Our guild lost a lot of players due to guild change or even quitting wow, so we did not had enough people to even get a raid going. I was really sad about this and looked for another guild, a I was addicted to raiding and could not do anything else in the evenings than raid. I thought it was time now to try and fullfill my wish to become a member of the server first guild. I considered myself ready for a level higher and spend about 2 days on my apply. Finaly it was there, I got accepted for a trial, me...1 person on this crowded server.I could not get any more happier, and we progressed through all raids that Cataclysm had to offer. finally we stood still to catch server first of Al'Akir hc. While this was a hard boss they decided to do this on 10man. I was really excited as that would become my first server first achievement of my whole WoW life.Then the thunder came, the 10man got formed and I was not in it, sad and mad at myself for not doing better than the other people that got invited I waited and waited until the raid was over. They did not killed it so it would be for the next day. In meanwhile I layed myself down with the fact I would not be in there to get te server first I supported the guild and hoped they would kill it.Altho... when they formed a group someone did not show up, and I got offered a spot in the 10 man. I could not be any happier and accepted the spot with both hands! After a couple hours of wiping we killed it, and there it was...the server first guild achievement, and my name was in those 10 people =)As this beeing fulfilled I did not had any more wishes in my wow-life, and just enjoy the raiding with my guild...My favorite memory will be getting this realm first Al'Akir hc, only because it was a wish that got fullfilled, my very last wish I had in wow.The reason why? I dont think many people got this opportunity :)
My favourite moments in WoW are winning 2v3 Arena games with my brother when our teammate either disconnects or doesn't join. It's happened a few times, and it just feels epic.
My favorite WoW memory is the first time my guild did a full clear of Karazhan. It was, and still is in some ways, one of the best raids. Finally beating Prince Malchezaar felt like an achievement (before there were any) since many of us had never raided in Vanilla.
I have to say my favorite memory of WoW was doing a quest that I picked up from a bucket in Grizzley Hills in Northrend. It was a quest that sent you straight to the outhouse and the explosive sounds coming from the outhouse were hilarious! I laughed for a long time over that one!
Oh god, my favorite WoW memory.I started WoW in the middle of BC. I was bad. Really really bad. I slowly leveled up to 70, and farmed the heck out of AV on my way up so that i had a full set of pvp epics to start raiding with as a Holy Paladin. I joined a terrible guild, where we took Kara super srs (you could tell it was bad because we would heal with me the holy pally on raid and the resto shaman on tanks). After a while i realized how bad the guild was, decided I wanted to be an enhance shaman, rerolled, and joined a new guild, and I thought to myself "I'm going to make myself really good at this game."But my new guild wasn't that much better then my old one. We didn't really make it far through content (we ended BC 5/6 ssc, 3/4 tk, 2/5 hyjal), but I figured "You know what? Thats ok! A new xpac is coming out, and if we try hard enough we can rush ahead and be competitive this tier!" So with that in mind, I took classes off on Wrath release day, and rushed through leveling and hit 80 the sunday after release, ready to jump into raids.Unfortunately, the second person in my guild to hit 80 did it 3 weeks into wrath. The third was sometime the next month.So i decided "I want to be really good, but I can't when no one else with me is trying." So i jumped again, to another guild that was pushing through the release content. But they were awful to raid with personality wise, so I jumped again with the free server xfers that happened because of server instability, and tried again. The guild I joined here was another step up, with an awesome 10man core I Still keep in contact with, but then 15 bads we carried on our backs. ANd I was sad, because I STILL hadn't reached my goal of being truly great at this game.So when this guild fell apart because we couldn't kill heroic northrend beasts in togc, I apped around, and found my current guild.All this backstory finally resolves itself here. We killed the entirety of wrath content, ended the tier with a decent placement, and got ready for Cataclysm.My favorite memory in all of my time in WoW was Cata release. We had a guild full of people online, rushing to be server firsts at 85 and rushing for early kills on release tier bosses. Just signing on, and seeing all those people who cared as much about being good as I did... that's my favorite World of Warcraft memory.
My favorite memory in World of Warcraft was raiding Karazhan (was supr srs bsns back then) using TeamSpeak with my guild. I miss those good ole days ;(
My favorite memory would probably be when I decided to switch to Horde. I had played only Alliance for months before that, and I was getting bored with Stormwind and I could never find a decent guild. As soon as I switched to Horde though, it was like a whole new world opened up to me. And by the time I hit level 10, I had already found an amazing guild that I am still in to this day.
My favorite memory was leveling my very first character, a Gnome Warlock. Everything was new and fun; I was introduced to a world that I didn't know existed. Every time I fly over Coldridge Valley, Dun Morogh, I get nostalgic.
I got a lot of great moments from world of warcraft , but maybe the best one was getting to level 40 and getting my mount train and mount (back in classic) a big thanks to all my friends who gave me money so i can buy it , i will never forget any of them real life and in game .
My favorite memory was one of those places in vanilla wow that not many people could get to. In fact the one I remember the most only a mage could get to you. You have to enter the deadmines instance and then blink back out through the portal. Only this did not take you out of the instance but beyond the portal to it. Then you ran around a corner and jumped off this cliff and fell for a really long time. Then you swam for a bit and came to this place that was just awesome. It had floating tress like in Nagrand but this was before BC ever release in fact a year or so before. There was a big blue dome over the area and is sounded like waves crashing when you got close to it. The music and sounds in the area were just amazing. I used to have pictures of it till my old computer died and I lost them. I will always remember that place because it made my mage special because only mages could get there. I called it the mage sanctum and I used to go there a lot just to hang out. Old Ironforge was really neat too.
