Favorite Retail Experience

Went in with a shield and an axe (no 2h because no talent in it yet), popped Bloodfury, dropped the snare totem and healing spring, rocked him with flame shock and swung for a crit. The poor guy was keyboard turning in Bear form like a demented furry turtle trying to hit me or do anything useful to stay alive. He was 24,

don't act as if you weren't keyboard turning as well :p

Vanilla was full of incredible moments. Getting your first mount at 40, first raid, first epic, etc. But for me the greatest moment was downing Rag for the first time. This was such an epic encounter at the time and it was one of the greatest feelings of accomplishment I've ever gotten from a video game.

The other moment from retail that I'll never forget was going through The Dark Portal for the first time at the launch of TBC. Vanilla was so incredible and we all experienced so much during those 2 years but stepping through The Dark Portal and into Outland made you feel like you didn't know jack and that you were truly in another world that you didn't belong in. I remember just sitting there for 5-10 minutes in total awe and covered in goosebumps. Wrath and Cata never gave me anything close to that feeling and I don't think Blizzard will ever create another expansion like TBC.

I did a lot of keyboarding in Everquest & Dark Age of Camelot. I learned the value of ditching the left / right turn for strafing in Planetside and City of Heroes. There were MMO's before Warcraft, sport.

my favorite moment happened on my 19 twink mage

on my battlegroup (Vengeance - US) there was a lot of trash talk between twink guilds and who was better etc etc. so our guild leader scheduled a 10v10 twink premade vs a rival alliance guild.

I was late getting to the game but luckily a guild member saved a spot for me and I finally was able to enter after only 5 minutes had passed in game.

it was my job as the stam / intellect stacking mage to sit on defense with our druid FC, 2 healers, and 1 warlock

it was my main job to spam rank 1 frostbolt with the 1 second cast time on every enemy i saw and to polymorph the enemy priests so they couldn't dispel.

it was an epic 1 hour match that we eneded up winning here is a SS

this was my first time experiencing a "competative" game and it being 10v10 made it more epic, i could not sleep that night my adrenaline was still pumping lol

Memorable:

• Running towards Darnassus and seeing the massive ancient tree mobs. Jaw dropped.
• Two of us warriors finishing the Whirlwind questline together and getting the axes.

Stressful: Tanking Molten Core for the first time, I was so nervous about losing my target. (No raid markers at the time)

Good times.

and does anybody recognize the unit frames addon?

That looks like AG unit frames aka AGUF. My personal favorite frames ever.
I'll be using them at launch.

My best memory was when I first tried a battleground for the first time, I was a level 27 orc enchantment shaman (with really good gear) No one at that time had any twinks at all, so I was really rocking it.
- I was so hooked on PVP by then, that I stopped leveling at 48, and then only did BG's all the way to rank 6 lol.


I remember looking at my brother playing wow and we saw a dwarf hunter in Ironforge, he had a piece of t1. (He was the first on server to get it) We was so amazed lol.

The first time I succeeded on walljumping into Hyjal.

Also, the first time that I entered an arena pre-tbc. This was amazing.

The first time I saw TBC trailer.

When brothers friend came and installed wow for my brother, i just hanging in my bed ( 9?10? years ). He made a human to check if all works and show my brother how it works. When he just walk for the first time i was totally amazed and cant forget how exciting it was for me.

When i made my first character Human Rog i made some starting quests but still i was sitting with my 6 lvl in Northshire Abbey and though how badass i am, when lvl 1 was just starting i though, heh lol noobs. So in my town at that time my brothers mates had a guild, they invited me and i decided to go for the next level, i went on the road to the Goldshire. Guildmate Gnome Mage popped every aoe, engineering bombs and what ever, eveerything exploed at me and i cant even tell you how exciting for me it was.
