I was watching a lore video about the Howling Fjord and it briefly touched on how there was a 4 year gap between when Arthas put on the helm and when he actually woke up as the Lich King. I wasn't playing at the time and it got me wondering how it must have felt to see that cinematic of his eyes glowing after he woke up. Of all that build up to Wrath and to ICC opening.

(A) I'm jealous of y'all that were there lol (B) It got me wondering about what other kind of profound/monumental memories wow players have. I hear a lot of players say they remember the Dark Portal opening in BC or they remember stepping first in Northrend for the first time as the hallmarks of their WoW experience so far.

As a Cata baby who didn't get to see some of those iconic things, I love hearing other players give their experience.

So what's your memory??? And it doesn't even have to be Retail related it can be a YouTube trailer or a con or a something like that, a moment from any of the books. Gimme your big WoW memories, I wanna read about them lol
