My favorite, and most frustrating experience, was the first time I logged in and a friend escorted me from Teldrassil to Ironforge back in vanilla WoW. He kept forgetting to stay with me and I kept drawing aggro in Menethil Harbor and would die many times. It took forever back then and I loved it.

Ages ago, anytime I would see Rend Blackhand shout out "WOOT!"

Gotta say, it was always good for a hoot.

My moment would have to be when my guild, Ninja Kitties, decided to have some fun and organized an attack on Crossroads, pre-CATA. We had about 22 of our members, between the levels of 16 and 80 (all Druids) and picked up a couple of high level Paladins on our way there who were curious what this mob of kitties was up to.

We met up in Darnassus, took the boat from Rutheran Village to Auberdine, and then trekked across Darkshore, Ashenvale, and finally through The Barrens (in kitty forms, of course). Once there, we held Crossroads for about 45 minutes before the Hoard was able to mount a counterattack.

I am not much of a PvP player, but this was the most fun I had in WoW. I did feel bad about the Hoard players that couldn't do their quests while we were in control, but the fun was worth the guilt :)

On Christmas Day 2008 I stood in Stormwind giving away free gold 500 per person.

Raiding the Alliance's capital cities to kill their leaders with a whole bunch of people... it was an endless caravan of death crossing thru provinces, killing anything that crossed our path.

Also stealth camping the entrance to Stormwind with a couple of Rogue buddies! Killing NPCs and PCs, trying to make our way to the main bank :P 

That was all around the introduction of BC.

WoW at around the time of TBC, we had a VERY casual guild, mostly made of long time IRC friends, slowly making our way trough Karazhan, raiding 2 or 3 nights a week (calling it off if there weren't enough people online), joking around, calling it a day when we had been too long and so on. We had gotten to Prince Malchezaar for the first time and we managed to get him to about 40% health in one of our best attempts at it before we decided that we were done for the week.

Later, chatting on IRC, our guild leader (and IRC channel founder, and one of the nicest persons I've met on or offline.. I'll call him E just for his privacy's sake) was excited about how we had managed to get him to such low health and how we actually had a chance of killing him, we said good nights and off to sleep.

The next day we received some very bad news... E had had a heart attack and died that night. Most of us had been online friends for over 10 years at that point.

Several weeks later we managed to get the group back together for another karazhan run, we pushed trough, skipped all the optional bosses, and reached the prince again... as we stood at the door to where he was, someone yelled "FOR E!!!" and I charged in (I was the main tank., feral druid)... and we managed to down it (it took us several more weeks to kill him again), we all just stood there in his corpse yelling "THIS WAS FOR YOU, E!!!"... first (and so far only) time I've ever remember crying for a video game.

A lot of "wow" moments came with SWG, which no other MMO has been able to do so far.

However, I think my main wow moment (so far) was being impressed with the rides on a Griffen, the way it smoothly soars across the sky. and above the land, with ripples of its wings against the wind, it seems so life like and beautiful. EQ2 has it similar, but not as smooth or lifelike.

The smoothness of the game is also breathtaking, very little jerkiness and lag comapre to other MMOs, and when WOW first launched I could only remember there being a handful of servers, but them looking at them a year or so later there were hundreds - I couldm't believe my eyes! Also a couple of years ago, the server I created my first characters on I could not create more as it was so full, and they are so full today too

I have not played WOW an awful lot, as I have been playing SWG mainly, and only got a few chars to 12-16, since its release, but I have bought all expansions except Pandaria so far. I planned on playing it loads this year as I bought the annual pass for Diablo 3, but too much real life stuff cropped up, so did not play much in the end, despite paying a sub all year. Now that I can cancel sub, I will not.

There is plenty of game to be had for me, and no doubt greater wow moments are to come. If I get a new "wow" moment within the week I'll post it on Facebook or Twitter

I will be happy with just standard edition of Pandaria. If I happen to get chosen for collectors edition, give it to the next person :)

My main moment is a very simple one. I was an Druid and was totally new to the game, i was yust doing my Darkshore quests etc. when i suddenly got Bear Form as a reward for one of the quests. I pressed the button and couldnt believe i could turn into a bear XD

took me 2 hours to realise this does not make the other bears friendly :D (neither does it let you mate them.. another set back XD )

I would love to win Mists of Pandaria, i havent bought it yet since i went on a small computerbreak before it got released. But im anxious to get back in again.
