Favorite Moment in a MMO

My question is what was your Number 1 MMO and What moment and feel made it so great?

 

Mine was FFXI a long party 5 Hours and still pulling the next Pugil or Crab, talking about what you are going to do when you get that next level or just talking about random shit. That was MMO paradise for me.

 

Although the feel of downing Arthas on Heroic and my entire guild screaming all at the same time with 3 people alive also very good.

 

 

(Sorry posted this same thing in the There Forums, I don't know why I did that)

    The moment I create my characters. When I create my characters I get very excited and I think of how I will improve it and make it look better. For me, it's really fun creating characters. ^^

    It has to be a tie between watching an NT kite hecklers in Anarchy Online for the first time and finally learning how to kite on my NT.  Both eventually got old for me, but nothing in any game so far has matched either one for memorable and enjoyable experiences.

    I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy, accompanied by an educational system which would be oriented toward social goals.

    My favorite moment in any MMO really was when I was first trying out Entropia Universe (at the time called Project Entropia).

     

    Me and a friend purchased about $30 each worth in PED (EU currency) and bought ourselves some nice mining equipment + gear. We spent the whole entire day scouting areas that looked cool, and places that looked like they would contain a lot of material.

     

    Since we were new, we didn't have any implants or anything that would make travelling easier (teleporting / the weapon skill to take down attacking animals). But we ran from Port Atlantas to Billy's Spaceship.. Billy's Spaceship to Fort Ithica.. Fort Ithica to Fort Ares.. Fort Ares to Twin Peaks. And on the way we would ocasionally plant mines that looked cool (maybe next to a weirdly placed rock, between a valley, next to the riverbed).

     

    We had great music, plenty of food and most of all had a lot of laughs (getting chased by the monsters was so hilarious for some reason). Sadly, we never got a hall of famer or anything that made us break even. But, it didn't matter. The time alone was worth $60.

    probably being a rogue in DDO right after it was released, and having the party depend on me to disarm the STK firetrap room for the first time.

    Probably banding together with other players in UO T2A to down mobs that were amazingly weak (although, to us, they were strong).

    Everything in UO had a feeling of the utmost epicness... still waiting for something to come along half as entertaining.

    First solo kill in EVE Online was pretty intense. Was flying a ship I couldn't afford to lose, of course. Didn't know much about optimal range and orbiting, but I won. Biggest rush ever.

    my favorite moment was in EQ, getting bind affinity with my first char, a druid.  I was travelling from freeport to qeynos and decided to bind myself in highpass incase I died on the run.  Ended up I bound on the spawn point for a cleared Gnoll camp.  was stuck in a permanent death loop until I crashed out my client and deleted the character.  I loved the fact the game had consequences.

    for me it was the Orc raid on Freeport in EQOA, it was the coolest thing ever. it slowly built up over the weeks with random single spawns till there was an all out raid force of mobs lead by a few raid boss orcs (the boss's first and only appearance was that 1 day). and to this day i believe that GMs was controlling the bosses...lol they had no aggro mechanism and went after every healer they saw FIRST, like as soon as they showed up even before they did anything. it was pure carnage for the lowbies, they'd be trying to help and seemed like the bosses was just tab targetting 1 shotting them all lol

    it was rough because we knew SOMETHING was gunna happen we just had no idea when. so people would randomly run through towns "crying wolf" several times a day for weeks till most of us just stopped going to see. well when the raid actually started it took awhile to get people to believe us to come help out...lol and THEN the coach was jammed up and took awhile to even get there, had to keep spamming the coach guy till he eventually took you.
