I remember the first time I explored/discovered Caverns of Time, it was together with a very special girl + someone I don't remember (no-one important to me at least). I was actually level 60 when I first went in there to look! I was really amazed when I went in there and looked around. I was so lucky to have uploaded old screenshots to my abandonded x-fire account, luckily I still remember the name to it.
Even by this day I'm still astonished at how it looks! |

After creating my first character, watching the intro and entering Teldrassil for the first time was a magic moment I will never forget.

My favorite "wow!" moment... I'm a little disappointed because it happened a little over a month ago; it's not from the old days... but it's when my group finally completed Challenge Conqueror: Gold. When I first heard about Challenge modes, about how they're the toughest PvE content Blizz has ever created, I wanted to do them. I knew I did. They sounded very hard to get Gold times, and I wanted to get those times. Months pass, MoP hits, and at 90 I form a challenge mode group with some friends I met cross-realm. We stepped into our first Challenge Mode: Gate of the Setting Sun. Got destroyed our first time and finished in a 45 minute run. However, we kept running the place several times over the course of 2 days, improving every pull, timing CDs better, getting blessed by the RNG gods more and more each time... until we finished at 12:23 and snagged our first Gold. I was exploding happy. We went on to Scarlet Halls and snagged that Gold within a few hours of attempts. We smashed the Scholomance Gold time easy, and then got destroyed by the annoying rail jump before the second boss in Mogu'shan Palace. Once we finally got that Gold, we finished the rest easily... until we came to Stormstout Brewery. Stormstout Brewery Challenge Mode is the devil. It took us around 4 days (about 6 hours or so a day of attempts) before we finally got it. Nothing made me want to flip my laptop like a table more than Stormstout. That gold time is HARD. But on one special attempt, an hour into our daily challenge mode session on a Monday night, the stars aligned and we got the gold in 11:53. I nearly lost my mind when the [Realm First! Challenge Conqueror: Gold] achievement popped up. I laid back on my bed and said "Wow...." That's what Challenge modes are. If you're working on a raid boss, you'll have 5-10 minutes of concentration with relaxation in between. Challenge modes were 12-21 minutes of adrenaline-pumping concentration. There was no sitting back after a boss kill or stopping to drink after each pull; you were on a timer. And that timer fueled your adrenaline. Everytime we got a Gold time, my heartbeat slowed, the adrenaline instantly left, and I simply said "Wow...." as I laid back on my bed. Challenge Modes were the most intense content Blizzard has put in; and I was glad to accept it. |

My favorite moment must have been when I first killed the Lich King, the awesome moment when he finally fell to the ground.

Oh dear gods, let me think...
Not long after WotLK came out, I took my shammy main and decided to grind out me some nether drake :} After hours upon hours upon hours upon hours.... upon hours of searching for these damn netherwing eggs, doing the quests, failing at the chase chain quest (made if nibally and got the chie though! ^_^) I MADE IT! :D Got a royal ride straight back to Shattrah, haha. And finally here it is: my favourite moment: when I got droppen by the drakes and was told to choose my future mount. The second my eyes met with her - I knew it just HAD to be her and no other netherdrake! As I completed her quest, learned the spell and summoned her for the very first time, there, by the rest of the drakes and took into the Outland's sky with my beloved Zoya... yes, that's most definitely the most wonderful and most my most treasured moment in WoW. Ever @^^@
(for those who don't know - Zoya is the Veridian, or simply put, the green nether drake ;) ) ~ Why is it that, as a culture, we are more comfortable seeing two men holding guns than holding hands? ~ Ernest Gaines |

When the guild I was in finished Gruul's lair for the first time during BC. We had so much trouble with the guy, getting to 1% a couple times and were so frustrated, led to fights internally, almost broke up the guild in fact. When we finally killed him, everyone on vent went nuts. It was great. |

The first time I healed for a raid was in Karazhan. We had a priest in the guild who always did the healing but something had happened this time to prevent us from succeeding against Terestian Illhoof and his minion. So they made her go change her spec and mine too. It was the first time I'd ever healed a raid before. I was playing a paladin for the first time because I was a long time Horde member and we had just recently received this class. It was awesome, the battle was very close and we almost didn't make it when suddenly I was able to bring the tank back with my laying on of hands, BAM we lasted the final few moments and took him out! We all laughed and a few of us cried over vent because we hadn't made it past Terestian Illhoof, this was the first time. My guildies all complimented me on a job well done. I smiled and over the microphone in my smiling voice I said "Ahh the power of plate!" :)

It would definitely be the first time i started playing on the original servers. It was like:" Wooow, so this is the real deal. No pirate server bugs, no nothing. Dauum ". It was amazing!

Knowledge is often mistaken for intelligence. That is like mistaking a glass of milk for a cow. |

My most memorable WoW moment might be when I played open beta for the first time in 2005. It was the best MMO I've ever played at the time. It just amazed me.

I'd have to say the Legend of Zelda quests were awesome. But my all time wow moment was when i got the "Chef" title on my, then main, tauren warrior Cheefboyrdee. Other than that i was big into pvp and battlegrounds. loved the old twinking before item changes. so much work you could put into your twink to faceroll the allys.

This is a tough one, but I will go with my strongest WoW memory that includes not only the word WOW!! but many others. A couple of days after me and my canadian friend started playing WoW during the start of BC we were hooked on the game, we enjoyed spending time toegther and this made it all the easier and more fun, we were running down the trail of darkshore, talking about random things on the party chat. Before we knew it we were expressing our feelings for each other on the wow party chat, we hadnt even tried on MSN Voice chat. We ended up standing in the same area of the road toegther for hours talking on chat, all the time I just couldnt helping thinking, WOW! Couple of years later we are happily married and still playing WoW together today, we revist darkshore regularly to remember the good times and how we finally expressed our feelings. So ya love on video games, does happen, WOW! :) |

My favorite piece of content all time in WoW will continue to remain one of my fondest memories of a MMORPG (and any game) ever.
One of my favorite quests ever for the epic Rhok'delar, Longbow of the Ancient Keepershttp://db.mmo-champion.com/static/img/screenshots/2045.jpg
Such fond memories of those awesome 1v1 demon fights. Especially the madly hard kite.

This was one year (more) and fifteen levels ago when I was but a wee level 60 druid, fresh in Outlands along with two more experienced friends of mine. We decided to tackle the PVP quest where you had to capture three towers... the same time a level 80 tauren decided to. Very quickly, we were killed and camped. One of us complained in guild chat. Our guildmaster, a very bored man, immediately perked up. The next time the tauren came after us, he was ambushed by our guildmaster. The next next time he came after us, our guildmaster killed him again. After that, the tauren seemed to have got friends, and more of our guildies came until about ten or so people were pvping. I never had so much fun participating in pvp. ( We did complete our quest... but only after one of our guildies logged into his horde alt and captured a tower so we could take it back. A level 60 was trying to attack us... and trying to get our guildie's alt to attack us. We only fought the alt's imp :> ) |

During Vanilla, the first time I got into a big raid group and treked all the way from Crossroads to Tarren Mill to PvP. It was massive with well over 100 people. Horde was outnumbered and I got owned ALOT but it was so fun, chaotic, and intense. I really miss that part of the game now. The big Crossroads fights and raids trying to take the capital cities - great memories.

Back in vanilla, when my first end game guild downed Rag for the first time in molten core! One of my greatest gaming memories of all time!

My favorite moments, were back during Burning Crusade, I was in a very small guild, about 40 or so in total toons, but only maybe 5-6 online at a time ever, we just ran heroic dungeons or flew around azeroth helping each other do the world events, I started playing maybe 2 weeks before BC came out so I would have to say I'm a BC baby. Another favorite was back when I first started, back when I was still horde, when I was bored I would hang out in the barrens ( trade chat in cities has turned into barrens chat now, at least on the server I'm on ) listen to general chat, and watch the alliance try and attack x-roads and just see huge battles go on. |
