I have a few favorite memories.
I was level 56 on my Hunter at the time. I took time out of my questing and grinding when my Warrior friend, Zamurai, wanted to come out to Winterspring. We decided we would go and see if the cat I wanted to tame, Rak'shiri, happened to be up (since he was a rare spawn, again I was lvl 56, Rak'shiri was 57). Shadow of the Necropolis had just started, and where we were at, there was this glowing purple portal. Undead were spawning out of it, and just attacking whatever poor natural animal happened to wander to close. While we were there, this large blue tiger spawned. It was Rak'shiri, the first I had ever seen him wild! I was so amazed in that moment. Watching the large graceful tiger was one of the most awe-insipring moments for me. The music, the atmosphere of Winterspring, it all collided...
And then the undead auto-attacked him! I remember watching in absolute
horror
as the creature I had revered so much was slain in front of me. My friend was cracking up, but I was completely aghast. I don't think I've ever been so emotionally attached to WoW since then, but it's a memory forever in my mind.
Another favorite moment was when I first had "detect invisible" cast on me. I remember I was running through the ruins of lordaeron like normal, when I suddenly saw all these ghosts! I stopped immediately and looked around. After 3 years of playing I'd never seen it before! I was completely shocked. My friend, who had accompanied me at the time and cast it on me, was surprised to. So we decided to hang around and see what happened if we cast "detect invisibility" on other people. Needless to say, they were also surprised and thanked us for the interesting little show.
A trip to Blackrock Depths turned out to be very interesting. My close friends Carzian, Amalthea and Zamurai were all in BRD (pre-BC) doing some quests and mainly just chilling. We had reached the central area (where the large lava pit is) and we were fighting all the Dark Iron Dwarves. Zamurai accidently backed up and fell into the lava pit. We all laughed so hard, and I had decided to turn my camera angle to look at him down in the lava. He had swam to a rock and was safe for the time being. I remember calling him an idiot, and instinctively pushing the "back/walk towards the screen" button. However, I had forgotten about the abnormal angle, and soon enough, I was joing Zamurai in his lava bath. Needless to say, I felt like a moron. We still laugh about this to this day, and we all 4 still hang out.
Finally my last favorite moment.
My friend Carzian, Zamurai and I decided the three of us would go into LBRS, to see how far we'd get alone. We were a priest, a warrior and a Hunter, and we had a zeal for pushing our luck. I remember we jumped down from the ledge, and made it to where all the Orcs were. Camp by camp we pulled, until we got to the spiders. The whole time we laughed about "i can't believe we made it this far". It was a big deal to us XD Then the spiders began tearing us apart, when I knew it was going down hill, I feign'd. It was a crack up to all of us because it was typical of me (as the only hunter that hung out with them) to always FD. So they always gave me a hard time about how I always FD'd, and always survived, but I had yet to get a Goblin Jumper Cable.
Karma got me though, the spider boss nailed ALL of us. =)
For me those are the greatest moments. They're not the greatest or awe-inspiring moments. But for me WoW has always been about the friends and people you meet in game. And those are just some of the best moments we've had together, and I can't wait to play with them in Wrath.

I have a lot of favorite moments. Here's a short list, saving the best for last.
Dropping a Krol Blade on my first character at level 56 (ish, in Winterspring was grinding Yetis). It paid for my epic mount
Making 7000g during the AQ40 opening event by farming materials to sell to people who wanted to do turnins. I also hired via COD mail some low level help to grind mats.
Discovering the joy of Addons (same time as prior, mailing 21 at once with CTMod saved me much RSI)
Discovering the Elitist Jerks website. I saw a reference to "EJ" on the FoH forums and spent some time finding out exactly what that was.
Killing Vael. The first guild I was in was a guild that had just downed Razorgore and thus was starting Vael. I joined the week of or the week after the Razorgore kill. It took us about a month to achieve victory. So many fire protection potions down the drain and so many different positioning strategies tried. Finally the hunters wore enough FR and used feign death enough that we won. That was my first first kill and I was hooked.

My favorite moment was definitly stepping through the dark portal. Me and my friends all leveled together up to 58 (there were 5 of us playing so it was a perfect group) and decided to stop there until everyone was caught up. We started playing after the release of TBC but still fell in love with the game. We all met up with eachother right outside the dark portal and lined up for a screen shot with each of us /dance'ing. Then we took a deep breath and walked through the portal together all at the same time. We were planning on going to bed after zoning in and setting our hearths to thrallmar but the atmosphere just wouldent allow that. We quested together for nearly two hours, it was some of the MOST fun I have ever played during WoW.

My favorite moment was to take over the inn in Thelsamar, Loch Modan for almost an entire day. I even made it my own.
I also have pictures of this lovely adventure!
This is my Inn! Located in Loch Modan. The dwarves doesn't like it a lot that I come here, but oh well! It's mine now! (

This is the nice lobby and dining room of the inn. You can sit down if you want! Just relax! (

Finally, this is my bed. I had to fight a drunken dwarf for it. Though I remained victorious. Though everything is so.. small. (

So yeah, that was my favorite moment in WoW. There was a lot of World PvP that happened. Guess people wasn't happy that I took their in- I mean MY inn. Hehe..
