The Good Memories

With no playing going on in the near future, I thought I would share some of my good WoW memories. Bad ones later. ;)

The first time I ever played WoW, during closed Stress Test. Just the world, the environment, everything. I loved playing a NE Druid and didn’t find any of the other classes nearly as interesting until much later. Stress Test was when I figured out what an asset having a good guild would be.

Open Beta when Roki and I knew stuff already and were able to explore beyond the Wetlands. It was when we met Ysoac and got our first introduction to Morgantis.

Release day. Finally starting a character that I could keep. :)

Dinging 60. What a rush that was. It was just so awesome to say “I’m 60!” for the first time.

The first four or five months in Morgantis, before the 60 grind destroyed the guild. We went through three real solid iterations of the guild, and the first was the best. Every time we had a problem though, we drove more and more of our raiders away to other places. (Silence, the leading raid guild on Silver Hand, is composed of (and was built by) a lot of ex-Morgantis members.)

Bear-tanking a BRD Onyxia key run with added MC Attunement goodness with a Mage, two Warlocks, and a Priest. This was before the Druid patch and as a 36/15 Resto/Balance build. Maybe not a big deal now, but I was very happy and lead to my conversion to Warrior (Tank) as a favorite to play.

Killing Onyxia for the first time. I think we spent two months of 3-4 wipes a run before we finally got her and it was the greatest feeling in the world.

Killing Rags for the first time. Nine weeks from the time we started running MC, the firey bastard went down. Coming as it did just before I left for warmer climes, that was huge.

MTing LBRS-UD Strat back to back as a 58 dinging 59 Warrior with a crappy Fury/Arms build. Best part of the night was Zhe/Desde telling me I did a good job even though we couldn’t kill the Baron. I only really had aggro problems when one of our two priests on the LBRS run (swapped out later for a hunter) was working really hard to get aggro with chain Smite casting.

Being Raid Leader for a ZG run. Never done it before, lead the group to one shots of everything through Hakkar. (Except Jin’do) It was crazy, full of drama and loot. Some people need to grow and resolve issues with other people on their own.

Any time I played with Naye. She rocks.

  1. My mage is L48 now and while questing in Feralas, I couldn’t help but think of the first time I was there with Moyra. The entire night Seton and I were giving Keim a hard time, but the funniest part of all was when Seton missed the boat to Feathermoon Stronghold. Not long after saying, “Finally, we’re alone…” he was face to face wtih Seton who was waiting for us when we pulled up to the docks. Oh my word. I laughed so hard!!!

    Onyxia with 12 people….that was the best ever. Well, it’s a toss up between that and ZG with four people.

    Oh….and I’ve always loved it when you play with me! ;)

  2. Making Officer in Morgantis, with Uru’s aproval and endorsement was awesome for me. :) One of my highlights.

    Making Member in Silence was my proof to myself that I hadn’t wasted a year of my life, that I was actaully GOOD at something. :)

    PvP with Yso. One should nevr PvP without him. :)

    One thing i’m looking forward to: Raiding with Majer.

    Oh… and mom thinks maybe with 8 months of no WoW you will lose your addiction… >.> you better not Mr. I’ll be raiding on FM with you when you get back, so you better come home safe.
