My WoW Memories
This post covers Blog Azeroth’s Shared Topic Top 10 WoW Memories from Camthor of e4ae
Since I started playing World of Warcraft (this was over a year and a few months ago) I’ve gone through several events that changed and shaped the way I play the game. Some we’re so important that even taught me real life lessons.
It goes without a say that I’ve collected a lot of memories in this time. I can’t really make a top out of them so here are some of them (off the top of my hat, there are probably others which I can’t remember at the moment).
I remember the time when I considered WoW a stupid game to play. I remember when I finally decided to gave it a try and actually enjoying it. I remember standing in front of the character screen for at least 10 minutes before deciding to play a Paladin (yeah, I’ve played a Paladin in Diablo also) but in all that excitement I forgot to customize the looks of my character. I remember hiting level 20 and not understanding why I don’t gain more experience (I was on a trial account). I remember starting a guild with a Swedish guy (sorry, I don’t remember his name) and running after unguilded players in the Alliance starting areas to sign our charter. Soon after he didn’t log anymore and I was left alone in the guild. I remember meeting Revlon, a player that changed my gaming experience in so many ways I didn’t think possible. I remember meeting Drac, the reason I wanted to become a Tankadin in the first place. I remember joining and becoming a core member of Damage Inc, a leveling guild based on helping others. Even tho we were infamous for out lack of progress (often being mocked/bashed on the Karazhan forum realms) we stood our ground and learned from it.
I remember completing for the first time a normal run of Black Morass and getting Revered with Keepers of time. I think all Protection Paladins consider this moment a high point in their carriers. I remember starting Karazhan and wiping several times on the trash leading to Attumen. Yeah, I know, but we were young and restless. I remember when we finally managed to kill him. There was much rejoice. I remember wiping on the elites in front of Moroes room and we considered him and Maiden being furthest we can go. I remember completing my first heroic with my guild, Mechanar.
I remember being very disappointed when people began leaving for other guilds because we were not progressing. I called them loot whores at that time, but later on began to understand (some) of them. I remember things falling appart when most of my WoW-friends decided to transfer for a better server. I stayed behind only to realise that if I don’t transfer togheter with them, I might as well quit WoW.
I remember writting my first guild apply. I remember my first 25-man and the feeling of insecurity it brought on me. I remember my first T4 drop. Funny enough it wasn’t from Karazhan. I remember the first time I tanked Maiden. I remember the first time we finished Zul’Aman and the time we managed to get 3 bosses within the timer.
I remember the joy and satisfaction I have when people come to me and ask for advice or help and I brigthen their day.
But the most important thing I remember about WoW is friendship.
I really like the way this article was done. As to me, it actually more reflects the way I remember the game: bits and pieces.
I remember my WoW days too. Sadly my family takes up much of my time and I am unable to play as much as I would like. But on the bright side I spend a lot of time with my family. Your post brought back memories for me though.
Family > any game. Be glad you have one.
