As an Ally- I wanted to go see the Ghostlands, so I asked a coupla guildies to go with me. We were now 70's and had very little resistance, and we smoked the guards when we did, We saw some blood elves being "born" and welcomed them into the rough world of WOW with 3 lv 70 alliance guildies in the delivery room. Wouldnt ya know, one lv 1 little beast took a swing at me so i backhanded her with a swing and /emoted with a happy birthday wishes. That was fun, and then we did cliff diving into the water on those High towers trying out our best tricks spins and aoe effects in the air... Fun Fun. Fun. Ko Firetree Wow – Best of times.

This was last year, when this content was fairly new. My guild was stuck on the HKM for several weeks. At the time, I was also disenchanted with my class/spec performance in PvP and was considering rerolling. The night we killed HKM, we had wiped several times on almost kills. On the last attempt of the night everything clicked right and what had seemed like another wasted night, it became a triumphant one. Although I rerolled later, just the thrill of progression was enough to sap out all my discontents. <b>Arena</b>: About a month ago, my 2v2 team managed to secure 1600 for the week with a game that went down between an Ice Mage and me, both at around 50% health. This is a fairly balanced fight, but one that the mage can get an upper hand with his pet. The mage expected to get away from me long enough to use some bandages, but PS absorbed enough damage that I was able to DPS chase him and kill him. 1600 might not be impressive to most people, but when you are 3/5 Vengeful fighting against point seller teams constantly, reaching this spot feels great. Since Stop seems to have forgotten, I'll say it here. The reason I asked you this question is because this are our true "epics". It's not the Warglaives (in WoW), or a Corvette (in RL) that makes us great; it's the special moments we find in life, even in "insignificant" things like seen a wolf kill a rat or a friendly smile from a stranger. And sometimes in our debates and flames, we forget to stop and smell the flowers every now and then. Between all the great moments I’ve had in the game, I have two that stand out.
