What was your best WOW moment (or moments) in game?
For me, maybe it was the Blue Dragonflight event in Stormwind I just witnessed tonight.

I wanted to be a mythic raider for a long time and hella researched my class and fight heroic emerald nightmare over and over, eventually I was able to do the mythic version of it and I was so happy.
I havent raided mythic again but I want to, I made so many friends and even changed guilds to make it happen, I felt bad about some of the people I left behind but I really wanted to see this thing through.
I still remember the boss fights.
Was always confused why cenarius was harder than xavius.

Mine was when I hit glad in the last season of BFA. I appreciated the players that were there that helped me improve.
Now, there are so few players in arena pvp that it makes me sad. Developers twiddling there thumbs instead of balancing or fixing the r1s who are gatekeeping rating.
Very sad indeed.

Being able to ride for the first time in-game. Rode around Elwynn Forest, Westfall and Redridge Mountain for the next three days just enjoying the experience. Still love it to this day.
Duskwood. Almost cried. Best horror experience ever.
Soloing Scholomance for the first time. Was able to appreciate the setting, read the quests and follow the story. Amazing experience.
But most of all, the visceral experience of WoW. That is what stuck with me and brought me back after seven years.

Yes, Duskwood! I always explore zones I am too weak for. In Duskwood it was terrifying!
I also remember the first time I flied over the Cathedral of Darkness in Icecrown.
And, talking of Northrend, the maiden voyage to Howling Fjord. That music, and the creaking of wood…
The visceral experience of WoW, yes. You nailed it!

Getting glad for the first time back in Cata will always be my favorite moment in WoW. Nothing else in game ever quite matched how excited I was when I opened my rogues mailbox and saw the mount there.

The first day I got riding back in early BC a friend who had been playing for awhile took me on a tour around Azeroth. I remember charging through Mor’shan Ramparts (We were Alliance), and especially the first time ever seeing Thousand Needles as we rode through. Just amazing.
Duskwood. Still the best zone in the game I think. Fifteen years later and I still hold on to my quest rewards from there.

I loved particularly the Mor’ladim chain. Very moving.
Jeff Kaplan was a genius, like Rob Pardo.

If I’m flying nearby on a Paladin, I always drop down and chain fear him. Old grudges die hard.

It was great. Tank hadnt played in a long while so we were taking our time. no one was in a rush. The whole group stuck around for the entire time. No insulting …nothing. We cleared a bit, then would break for a few minutes and talk. First time Id ever cleared the entire thing. well except for those never ending dwarves in the one room, lol.
Id do them all like that with a group that good…

For me it was doing the launch Cata Heroics. Every single one of them I loved. I was in love with how difficult it was made me shine with my CC abilities. Lady Naz’jar in Throne of tides is a good example. Once she gets damaged some she goes to the center and summons 2 mage naga and 1 brute. I would freeze trap one mage and use a sleep sting on the other then we focus down the brute and then the mages.
Trash mobs I could control well also. Think it was stone core. Later in it there were mobs that hit really hard. Could CC 2 of them then kite another one that did major damage to tank.
Got so much praise in those dungeons because everyone hated how hard they were but I made it a LOT easier on everyone by being a very good hunter and not a huntard lol.
Have to go with this as well. Hitting 70 for me was only motivated by the prospect of going back to vanilla and touring Scholomance and Stratholme w/o any distractions from others who just wanted to get it done.

Original Alteract Valley
Back during Vanillia
Priest main
We were riding along the rode, decently geared healer, I had an escort of 6 others planning an attack (don’t remember alot of details, it’s been several years).
In the poof animation of a rogue vanish I was ganked. Surrounded by 6 others, riding in the middle of the group, the rogue targeted me and blew me up instantly. I’ll never forget that death. No one even saw the rogue. In and out like an expert, killing off the only healer meaning the attack failed before it even started.
Been dieing to rogues ever since.

Soloing dungeons and raids can be a blast. You can actually bask in the setting like in open zones.

Back in wotlk, my son said to me “let’s go to Howling Fjord”. He was 59 and I was 60 and we had no clue what we were in for. Jumped off the boat to swim to shore (since it veered away from the pier) and had to fight a shark we almost couldn’t hit to get there. Mounted up on fast mounts, rode up the cliff road and went all over the place being chased by shoveltusks, vrykul, worgs, and other ?? or 
mobs. Made it back to the Fjord, rearmed, him with a harpoon and me with a trident, then we went out on the ice to do battle with some rare whale we’d heard about called Big Shirl. We ended up fishing and listening to the ambience of the uilleann pipes. That time spent with my son was the best ever.
