Since its my thread i'll go first.
For me the game i remember most fondly is probably world of warcraft. (the original no expansions)
I look back and despite all of the flaws to me that was when the game was its most fun, its most epic, the world seemed so much bigger when you had to run everywhere without a mount for the first 40 levels, forget the flight paths damn things were expensive if you were going to more than one zone.
The class specific quests felt like a real adventure, especialy the shaman ones, get some vague instuctions about a mountain near a river and when you find what your looking for it becomes so obvious yet also special, no other class is going up this mountain its mine.
The wonderlust of just exploring a new area for the first time from the ground up, the thrill of discovering some of the little things like the flag ontop of ironforge mountain, or the friendly naga in tanaris.
The outdoor elite areas added a nice challenge to the overworld without requiring the coordination of a dungeon, the fourty player raids were just ridiculous impossible to describe if you never played them.
Inspite of how the game developed later on and how i feel about it now, i'll always have fond memories of azeroth and the adventures of Mogrom the orc shaman, trecking about the world as a spirit wolf and owning face with windfury on the two handed unstoppable force mace, its special to me and blizzard can never take that away, even if they do continue ruining the game.
Given the chance i think i'd go back and do it all over again, it may seem kinda sad or pathetic but for a short time, wow was important to me.
So even if no one replies i just felt like sharing, but i'll leave this open, anyone else want to put on the rose tinted spectacles and talk about games they loved?
