I've only been playing WoW since Christmas of '10...so you could say I'm not a veteran like most of those who have commented on this thread. However, I have grown to love this game and everything about it. I find myself each night reading Wowhead's articles about bosses, quests, and lore...just for the fun of it. It's really hard for me to pick a favorite memory as I have so many. The one I have picked for this is a really long memory as it covers my entire experience at Northrend. I remember the first time I entered Northrend on my mage...I had spent so much time in the Outlands that I grew to hate it, so seeing new scenery and quest chains added a smile to my face. I remember hearing the beautiful Norse inspired music as I got on the zeppelin to Howling Fjord. I was so excited to see the world of ice...as frost is my spec and I just love winter :) I remember starting my quests...they were a bit tricky at first but I got the hang of it. I remember going to Dragonblight and seeing beautiful dragons flying everywhere and being scared that I'd aggro a big one. I remember feeling like an explorer in Sholazar Basin and then eventually seeing the enchanting Crystalsong Forest...a place so magical, it made me come to appreciate WoW as one of the best games I've ever played. Finally, I reached Icecrown, a place I was so eager to explore as Arthas the Lich King is my favorite character in the game, and to see his darkness was incredible. The animation was perfect and the quests were intense. The one I remember most was being Arthas and turning all of his soldiers into ghouls. Every time I make a new character, I try to rush through levels so I can go back to Northrend and see everything I remember so vividly. I know this isn't just one memory of a boss or achievement...but I was only in Northrend for a couple of days and what I experienced then has always been just...amazing to me. I visited so many places and did many quests and instances but it feels like one big clump in my mind when I think of my favorite memory of World of Warcraft. The way everything was set up, I really felt like I was there...participating in the fight against the Lich and feeling the chaos all around me but still remembering that there is light somewhere.

Favorite memory is definitely when my girlfriend surprised me that she bought a World of Warcraft battle chest (Vanilla and BC) so that she could play with me.It was that first 5 seconds when I saw her smiling face while holding that box that definitely made me teary eyed. So now we do dailies, gather herbs/ores, run old instances for reputation and mounts together. Best thing that could happen for a guy IMO.
Most memorable? I would have to say getting Deathcharger's Reins. I spent hours upon hours grinding Stratholme and sponsoring Red Bull since that's basically what kept me going through the whole time. When it dropped I screamed like a little girl (well, kinda like a girl) and have been using that mount ever since. That is the most time I ever spent on one item. Not something that I'll likely do again. Well....maybe.
My favorite WoW moment was probably when our guild, back in our PvP days, did a premade Alterac Valley, took all the graveyards, and we forced all the Horde in their cave and wouldn't let them out. That was pretty sweet.
My best memory of warcraft, was when i finished my tier 2 Judgment Armor and completed my Thunderfury Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker the same day.The reason why this memory is my best, is that i had all my friends in-game help me get my pieces for my sword and my tier pieces. Yet even though this took awhile for us to complete, the entire event and the fun we had together was so memorable.
Most definitely the first time I killed Illidan!
My Favorite memory in WoW would have to be in Dal... I was flying towards the one water well, and when it kicked me off my flyer, i perfectly para-chuted into the well. It was quite Hilarious! Haha
My favorite moment was more like a period of time. My husband and I had parted ways when it came to MMORPGs, but we really missed playing games together. Despite that I didn't like WoW when he first tried to get me to play a couple years ago, I gave it a go again in November.This time, my husband actually deleted one of his characters so he could start over with me. I made a Draenei Mage, and he was a Paladin (my mage is still my main character). I was actually kind of sad that the refer a friend bonus let us level up so fast, because I really enjoyed playing through the low levels with him and all our fun adventures. It's still very fun now, but he has 5 level 85s and I only have one! And nothing quite beats the charm or running around as a newbie.So, I think rather than a single moment, it's just a mix of moments that keeps continuing on. I'm just glad there is finally a game than both my husband and I can enjoy together.If we want to go for an actual moment, I remember making a huge deal about going to get the Singing Sunflower. Right when we hit 20 on our first characters, we grabbed our Elekks and made the trip to Stormwind on the boats, then up to Ironforge on the tram. Then we ran up all the way up to Hillsbrad Foothills from Ironforge. It seemed like such a loooong trip, and not to mention the deaths we endured running around up there...but seeing all the areas along the way was the first time I've really thought "wow" about a game's environment. So, even though it was a long trip at the time, it wasn't boring for me! And it was totally worth it to get that darn sunflower and spend some quality time with my husband in game!
My favorite memory in WoW was our first Lich King kill. We had him to around 12% and only me (mage DPS), the tank and a lone healer were up. I was raiding as Frost at the time and was trying to prove myself to the guild still. The spirits spawned and I knew we would wipe, so I blinked in front of them and popped Ice Block, soaking them all. Ventrilo went crazy! After soaking them we kept DPSing and got him to 10.5 and more spirits started coming. Cold Snap had about 5 seconds left on cooldown, so I blinked ahead, stood my ground, took a few spirits and hit Cold Snap and Ice Blocked again. As I left the Ice Block we all were killed and I was freaking out, since I purposefully didn't watch any strat videos, but we finished it up and killed him.Best memory ever.
my favorite moment was when the lich king had 40% hp and i solo'd him down to the point when everyone rezzed as a blood dk i was 10k hp away from death when he went down
My best experience was when I was first started this game, Explored each zone and the joy of finding something new. At this time I really didn't care about if others new about this or not I was just ecstatic to see it myself, my first great sight was seeing the greymane wall way back.
Entering Outland for the first time back in BC when it all was completely new. The view of Hellfire Peninsula with all its magnificent looks from the top of the Dark Portal hill was amazing. The looks amaze me even now...all those weird space ley line thingies and dark purple cloudish things on the sky...
