back in the day when Vaelastrasz was a guild killer 26 wipes and then it died and teamspeak went  wild  for ages the raid ended early lol.

meryy christmas all :)

Wow moment...I purchased vanilla WoW at the urging of co-workers who played.  I leveled to the 50's and was entering Silithus when I realized TBC was only a few days off.  So I poured some extra hours in and managed to ding 60 the night prior to the release.  Hitting 60 on my first toon was a wow moment.

Then the very next day I was happy to have another wow moment stepping through the portal and seeing this huge battle being fought, just massive.  I started laying in some Rain of Fire and seeing the numbers popping up over these massive demons was pretty cool. 

WOW Vanilla.

I was main tank at the time. Playing Orc warrior. Together with my brotehr and cousin, we were age 20-26. Originating from Croatia we played in a Bulgarian guild ( strange combo I know ). As time passed by we bace good friends with Bulgars, but have never met in RL. Playing 5 days a week in raids and farming pots on 6th a bond was made at that time, bond that lasts today.

So we did what every young player would. Packed our bags, grabed some cash and traveled 780 Kms ( one way ) from Zagreb to Sofia so we can meet our friends in real life and play with them for 4 days. 

Years have passed, but I still remeber raiding MC and BWL with mates from anotehr part of the world and my next of kin all sitting in same room, yelling, drinking, laughing. It was trully pinacle of my gaming career. 

If for nothing else, thank you Blizz for making a game that made it possible to meet wonderfull people, in game and out, play with them and enjoy their company. 

the first time i created a character and had her ding to max level.

the first time i went inside heroic dungeons.

my first raid.

my first wipe.

this game had me hooked for a good 5 years - till now.

i love yew wow :3

When I first entered Northrend - I was a level 30 undead mage or so, and WotLK just came out (I bought it immediately). I was in this great social leveling guild (we always had a blast in the chat) and I bugged this guy to take me there. I got to the vikings in the Howling Fjord (just up the lift) and I died there a few times.

That's when I rushed to lvl 68 (I think that was the req for quests?) and got to 80 just by eating all the Northrend's beautiful landscape. A month or two later we raided Naxx (there was this druid healer Elpier or Elpierre, who just made it all much more fun) and I felt great, not because I really accomplished something but because we had such a great time there.

Killing Kel'thuzad in Naxx was a great feeling !

I have many memories, but probably my favorite during Vanilla Wow, entering MC and killing Ragnaros! It was EPIC!

Also, the moment I finally crafted a Turbo Flyer! Awesome mount!

My biggest moment of Awe in WoW was my first raid in Molten Core with the guild I was in at the time. Just stepping inside Molten Core for the first time and looking up at the HUGE molten giants guarding the bridge into the deeper reaches of the instance and going "Woah... If that's the size of the TRASHMOBS in here... I wonder what the bosses will be like!"

This was before everybody read detailed guides on the internet before attempting any bossfights, so we just went in and had a go at it. Took a couple of tries to figure everything out. We had a member from a bigger and stronger guild pop in on our Vent-channel occasionally to give us a few hints and tips about how to beat certain boss-mechanics, but we had to figure a lot of the stuff out for ourselves.

Even if raiding and bossmechanics have evolved a LOT since then, nothing can beat that first proper raid experience.

Those were different days.

I would have to say that one of the biggest "wow" moments for me in WoW was the first time I encountered one of the epic world PvP standoffs during Vanilla between Tarren Mill and Southshore. Literally at least a hundred players lined up against each other, waiting for someone to make a move. I joined in and watched as we pushed the Horde back to Tarren Mill. I just thought it was so cool that players were making this crazy confrontation and the opposing faction would fly in from their capital cities to defend these tiny little towns in the middle of Hillsbrad! Good memories. :)
