What's your most fond memory from World of Warcraft?

What's your most fond memory from World of Warcraft?

Catching Mr. Pinchy springs immediately to mind. 8 months of daily fishing. When I finally caught it I jumped out of my seat, ran out the door, and ran a victory lap outside around my apartment. Winning the Sunday fishing contest in STV was another one... one quiet (in real life) and rainy (in the game) Sunday morning. Good times.

What was one of your most fond memories of World of Warcraft?

[Devanh]

Being a scrub. Azeroth was so big and new, and spending hours corpse dragging across the continent to see what was out there was so much fun; nowadays there is nothing left to explore. I remember flying mounts were unimaginably cool and cost absurd amounts of gold I could never hope to see; legendary and epic items were practically unobtainable and learning how to play with other people was really enjoyable, because you could all work together interdependently to make a community. Now flying mounts ruin the experience of riding through a vast landscape, because you just see everything so quickly compared to when you would run through the Barrens hundreds of times just to get up 5 levels. Blizzard churn out flashy flying mounts like the Heart of the Aspects that look so awesome, but after seeing a few thousand of them a day they not only make everything else look bad but become so repetitive they lose their own attraction. Epics are thrown at you for free, taking away the sense of achievement from them, and dupes make gold and other items so easy to obtain they mean nothing anymore. Achievements only keep you busy for so long and I have finally become senseless to them.

tl;dr: The game is much more exciting when you're new.

As one individual moment, to answer the question more specifically, it would be finding Aeonaxx. I was flying along one February morning to do the Lunar Festival quest, and he spawns above me the the exact moment I fly past his spawn point. One in seven spawn points, 20 seconds to fly from the quest giver to the Deepholm portal to Org, on one of the most populated servers, and it spawns at complete random 0 - 2 times a week... do the maths. I've only been that excited a few times in my life, not because I got it but more because it saved me a week of camping.

How many characters at max level do you have in WoW, if none, what is your highest level character?

[WizardTrokair]

I have one character that is max level in WoW... The Wizard Trokair is level 90. The Wizard is my only toon. I have played since Vanilla but never believed in Alts. I think alts would take away from Trokair time, and I never ever run out of things to do on Trokair.

Have you ever heard of the Atari 65XE system?

Would you consider yourself your brain to be more active on the left or right half? Google it if you're unsure as for what it means.

[WizardTrokair]

Tempted to say right-brained. Music is my thing and creativity is what keeps me going. Then the logical half of my brain that needs everything in order kicks into overdrive and I get confused...
