Your best memories from MMO

What is yours best memories from playing MMO games? What are the firsts thought when you go back to these moment when u was playing and having the most fun. What do you remember to these today. What was that game.
I know that about MMO's these first games was for us something special. We never before play game like that and all was incredible. Like first kiss, first love, first sex but in game ;-D
I wonder what is you best memories!
My first MMO was MUOnline.
First moments was like... OMG each of these characters are a human being, no way... you can talk with them... look at this badass with glowy red dragon set... these spiders drop items?! Look at these droped axe do like 10 dmg! What the hell was that gold flying dragon, omg he landed there WTF... and then you die in 1 hit
I liked then that grind for exp and items. I liked a sound of droped chaos, soul, bless etc. Liked to put these jewels in weapons and armors what makes them more glowy and powerfull. Liked that you need to make a ticket from these jewels to go to dungeons with your friends and there was a time limit and u tryed to kill as much as posible. I liked varanity of locations, dark locations, water, sand, heaven etc and mobs great fitting these location themes. Liked that u can kill anybody and somebody can kill you.
Secound MMO and my main MMO for rest of my gaming life was Lineage 2.
First unknowe world exploration and meeting people acros the world. Making friends and joining clans. When I first saw a castle I was thinking, no way there is some event including castles, oh boy was i wrong.
First castle siege with clan I was all sweat from nervous and excaitment. When you died in that siege you must go around some places to come back, it was sometimes 15 min or so, and died again after that... When you died it had consequences, there was no fast respawn until you make a flag wchich can be killed too.
Grinding items that was with you for weeks and even months. Then crafting better ones wchich takes a weeks to gather all needed materials - that feels good when you complete that alone or with clan help. Fighting for spots in different locations. Fights for bosses like Baium, where you must go 14 floors of mobs to get to the point where was a massive pvp and when you died, gues what, try again or lose. Fights with world bosses with lastes couple of hours and feel meaningfull. There was quest to kill these bosses to complete it, so for each boss there was a huge fights with clans. Moments when you was relaxing grinding far away in Antharas Lair with friends until suddenly your enemies attack you from the corner and you must fight back or die and loose 30 min to come back and fight again.
I remember 7 signs where you can participate in event wchich was often 50%/50% of serwer population. You was a small cog in the machine but there was a reward for winners and punish for loosers which lasted full one week. When you looses you cant do something for full week. Mannor system where even if you was not not a spolier who can gather materials you can gather needed mats with your main character. And many many others.

I've met many people from games IRL and my time getting to know them beforehand, I would have to say, are always the best memories from the MMO.
Those fights in Lineage 2 where you would die defending your camp spot, come back and kill them, and just repeat killing each other for an hour or 2 with both groups kept calling more people from clans/alliances until there were 100s of people there for a big battle in some random unimportant dungeon on the map
Organizing into formations, charging into enemy ranks or holding them off a certain point.
The end of the GW2 base story.
"Fear not this Night"
After the epic strugle to reach and kill the final boss. The music hit and that was a far better reward then any item you got.
2. The first few months of WoW vanilla after launch, when everyone were mostly focused on exploring the world (and not hell bent on beating raids and getting epics). Joined a raiding guild not long after reaching 60, and gaming quickly turned into "work" (for "dragon killing points" for loot), add in some occasional loot & wipe dramas, eventually unsubbed after an angry rant by the guild leader after a wipe.
3. The first time I finished GW2's base story, when "fear not this night" played.
4. In FF14, became the first few players to max all crafting classes in my server after launch. Business poured in, made new friends, felt appreciated by "customers", felt good. Lost most of my motivation after it became clear that even the best crafted gears were nowhere close to raid-drops' quality. Tried raids, it felt like hardcore choreography during which you can't even miss a single step. Unsubbed.
5. First couple years of Eve Online. First experience of "sandbox" and "player driven". Started an inter-hub trading business and made a fortune. Was delighted that I was able to quickly achieve that level of in-game wealth without going through any hardcore PvE or elite PvP piracy. Also flew around occasionally in enjoyable pvp fleets. Eventually unsubbed when trading started to feel like a job, lost all reasons to pve (had no need for extra isk, and all accessible pve options were far less profitable than trading), and couldn't afford the time to join hours-long pvp fleets anymore due to RL reasons.
first just like to say hello to all
i am lol 60 year old mmo player who has tried few mmo over the years
my gaming started way back when my good friend way back in the day said come over to house and look at this computer he had just got what i saw blew me away
it was old bbc computer with elite and to this day everytime i here the docking music on radio tv i think of that old game
then i started playing dune dos version Dune: House Harkonnen
then command & conquer on case ladder dos version my first experience of 1v1
me on 28k connection and na boys on t1 connection only one winner
then came best mmo i ever played
Lineage one 1998
some of my best memories
standing at entrance of orc town and a Australian player called Hilts taking all comers on
another time uk player called rawdog tells me and friends good place to hunt then (pk) us
first time i tipped toe into dragon valley
but the very best memories i had was first time i saw the death knight on 7th floor main land caves my pc screen started shaking my mouse was trembling and my brain was saying what the (F) blip a memorie i will never forget .
so fingers crossed Ashes of Creation will give me some more good memories
ps lineage one beta untill ncsoft shut na servers down
but now playing on korean server^^
1.Forming a guild in MU online and making it's reputation on the server so known that people would follow me around to beg me to let them in.
2. Private pvp WoW server which placed their player malls inside Alterac Valley (the battleground) and they placed npcs and bosses inbetween the two malls (alliance and horde mall opposite side of the map) and we would battle each other everyday in attempt to get to the other faction's mall and conquer it for a few hours.
I remember my first siege, Dion, when we were trying to take it over from enemy alliance. It was truly epic 150 vs 150 battle and seeing so many people running around and fighting for the common goal was like being in the concert. It was ecstatic. The sieges used to last for 2 hours and the constant back and forth battle made it truly blood boiling experience as either side tried over and over again.
The best part about the game was clan war system as well as open world raid bosses. Meaning if you wanted to kill an epic raid, you firstly had to win a fight against enemy alliance or even coalition of enemy alliances.
Last year I've tried L2 Essence and got into the top clan once again, and damn the blood boiled again when we started fighting over raid in 100 vs 100 battles. There's just something about these large and massive battles with so many players that makes the blood boil and fighting exciting.
Going to Scarlet Monestary as an Alliance or going to Deadmines as a Horde was always an adventure.
Also has a lot of fun in swtor because we got most of my rl friends into the game.
I noticed a party resting just inside the city gates.
I healed them up, thrilled that I had done good deed for the day, turned around to return to my adventures and bumped into a pair of knobby knees.
"Oh! What might this be?"
I tilted up, up, up.
It was an Ogre. Who smashed me to death with one hit from his hammy hands.
I guess that party had trained the Ogre to the city gates.
As my friends were introducing me to wow, one of them told me there was a "rogue quest" in the middle of duskwood. And that I needed to talk with a dragon. Good times.
I was a little nooblet running around as my very first character in WoW Classic... A dwarven warrior in cloth armor (because I had no money for repairs).
Suddenly a paladin on his mount was riding by and stopped in front of me. Suddenly he innitiated a trade and gave me 5 gold and a grey chain helmet and some chain pauldrons.
I will always feel indepted to him. Q.Q
First Epic occasions was spotting an Alliance player by the barrens, little did i know that later that day i would be spending the next 8 hours fighting the Alliance in the Barrens.
It was hilarious, players would spend hours and hours fighting each other in the Barren's, " good old day's ".
Very little
Now that reminds me of the days when Hillsbrad Foothills used to be the unofficial battlegrounds (after they've implemented the honor system, but before they've released Alterac Valley)
This is my personal feedback, shared to help the game thrive in its niche.
I remember vowing that I would be the one leading the Mob Train one day... simply out of spite. And yes... the screams and curses of the newbies were all that I had hoped for.
