    Hello everyone, I was thinking what everyone's most memorable experiences in WoW were.

    For me, when I first played WoW, I received a quest to deliver something in Undercity, but I did not know how to get there. I saw that a ferry left Ratchet that would take me to Booty Bay. So I made my way there and took a boat to Booty Bay.

    Once I reached there, I made my way up Stranglethorn Vale and into Westfall. Note that I was around level 20. From Westfall, I was chased by hostile mobs until I jumped into the ocean and started swimming up the west-coast of the Eastern Kingdoms.

    Besides the occasional seagull, there was absolutely nothing of interest along the way. I thought Blizzard could have at least given accidental explorers like me some incentives along the way, eg: a cave with a strange quest, scattered bottles of letters I can read, a fisherman on a boat with a story, etc. Alas, none of that.

    So I found Menethil Harbour and thought it was like Booty Bay, neutral. Of course, I was mistaken and I died. Mind you, at this point I already died a few times going up STV so this was not new to me. After I died, I came back to life a the grave yard and made my way up Wetlands, into Arathi Highlands and then into Hinterlands and up to Western Plaguelands where I died again and again and again and finally went westward and found Undercity.

    After I delivered the quest, I ran out of Undercity and saw a shadowy tower in the near distance with what looked like a Zeppelin flying in and docking. I laughed, ran up to the tower top and waited for the next Zeppelin back to Orgimmar. I retold a shorter version of this story to a high level Undead Mage and I remember he said to me, "Welcome to the game!" and we both laughed.

    My most memorable experience was when I first walked into Molten Core. I was amazed at all the higher level mobs. I was super careful because I was still a relatively low level and I was a healer.

    I am pretty sure I have countless ones over the years but the last thing I remember is one of the first times we went after The Lich King, my headset was dead after my daughter thought it was something fun to swing around the room. Myself and spouse were gaming in the same (large) office and out of no where we wiped. Everyone we ran the run with still remembers me screaming at the top of my lungs through my spouse's mic (on the other side of the room) about how we wiped and many, many obscenities.

    Raiding Molten Core for the first times is one of my favorites too. I was so nervous, as I had little idea of what I was doing and I think it was a trial run for me to get into that raiding guild. But still, had a great time and it was my first experience with raiding.

    Another was hitting 2k for the first time in 2s as a MW monk, when they weren't very popular at all. It felt awesome doing well with a class very few people played.

    My most memorable experience was from Warsong battleground.
    I was playing Tauren Shaman, and I had some potions from Winterspring, for growth. I drank it before I entered in battleground, for fun.
    Battle started, we were fighting somewhere in the middle of the map, where you could've find Berserker buff. I took it, and grew even more. Suddenly, I saw everyone approaching, so I used my Bloodlust. I was standing there like a giant amongst them. Everyone started laughing, Alliance and Horde. And noone was fighting. Some Gnome Warlock targeted me and started to cast Shadowbolt, and with haste rating I had I immediately used Chain Lightning and Lightning Bolt. Both were critical hits, and poor Warlock died. Everyone started to laugh again and we didn't fight untill buff duration weared off. :)

    Thus far, my most memorable experience is probably getting stuck behind a tree like a moron and not knowing how to handle it. That's about the time I realized that most of the gamers for WoW aren't actually a bunch of jerks.

    My most memorable experience was back in Cata on a server I had just transferred to. The server duked it out in Nagrand for a few hours just for fun and then tried taking over each other's cities afterwards. The server I moved to had a good reputation of keeping up with world PvP when we weren't busy trying to outdo each other in server firsts and rankings haha.

    My most memorable experience was being a noob and not really knowing what PVP or dueling was. I remember seeing a dude request to duel me, I took him on thinking that it wouldn't be too hard of a fight, and I got taken down without doing a single point of damage. It is hilarious to me now, but annoyed me before.

    Honestly, when I first started playing. I had no idea what I was doing, and my toaster of a computer was heating so much I was sweating in a tank top. My friend ditched me to do some other things, and I ended exploring on my own. Some guy wanted to duel me, and being the noob I am, I did it, and lost everything. According to me friend, this is some sort of rite of passage for all new players. Hilarious in hindsight, I guess.

    There have literally been so many memorable moments that I don't even know where to begin, to be honest. It's been a few years of constant playing and some great moments. I'd say most of our experiences have been like that, especially for players that have been around for longer periods of time.

    My most memorable moment was doing the last boss on the first wing of ice crown citadel. I forgot what his name was but I was healing as a disc priest and I remember being the last healer alive, helping the raid mitigate so much damage well keeping the tank alive..I felt so great about that experience.

    Another has to be the first time I did "For the alliance!"..We did all the cities easily but when we got to undercity there was a full raid of horde waiting for us and the battle we had to face to get up to that city leader was absolutely crazy.

    So many. Deleting my undead character because I got frustrated not being able to figure out how to enter Undercity.

    First flightpath ride, and definitely my first zepplin ride, was scared to death I would fall off

    Finally, my first group dungeon, it was one of the scarlet monestary ones the first month wow launched. wiped so many times, many my fault as healer lol

    For me, it would have to be when I first started, and everything was new to me. I had made a bunch of different characters just to see how each of them started out,
