On my DK Engineer (Jeeves and everything), I used to rocket boot towards the edge of cliffs, jump off, and parachute cloak down to enemies. Then I'd shoot them in mid-air with my Missile Launcher gloves, and start owning face. I felt like the biggest badass, leaping from as high as possible with no magical protection.
So basically you gank lowbies and run off and feel like a hero. Cool.
Anyway, I enjoy tanking, I like being good at it, keeping everything on me, which is especially challenging as a Warrior.
I also enjoy Arena, or I did, I have no one or time to play it seriously anymore. But I was quite competitive.

It used to be Old AV, i remember my very first AV, it lasted 2 hours, we summoned Lokholar and he managed to completely crush the Alliance turtle on the bridge.
Another moment was when i helped summon the Wolf Riders, theres about 8 of them and they just decimated any Alliance they came across.
God i miss old AV..

Algalon the Observer. If anyone here has seen that fight, you know what I mean.
That and playing with 4 other real life friends. In between raiding we just dick around doing stupid stuff, like getting our hunter (me) Thunder fury, and the holy pally Sulfuras. And one time, starting in the Blood elf starting zone, we had a foot race all the way to booty bay.

Dungeon crawling with a bunch of mates that I have gamed with for years. Some fantastic and immersive stuff to do (first time I ran HoR I actually found my heart beating hard and feeling panicky in the run away from the Lich King. If a game can make me feel like that then it is doing it right...
The constant evolution of the game (I love patch notes!) I love that the old model of "raid, reroll or quit" is dead and buried and that work on the game is performed with an air of providing as much as possible to as many as possible without jerking off the so-called "hardcore". If you want hardcore gaming then unless you are in a top progress guild then WOW is not for you. If you just want to play and have stuff to do then maybe it is....
The graphics. Oh yes. I know people piss n moan that it is too cartoony but as far as I am concerned that is the house style for the Warcraft universe and it works. I also loathe "realistic graphics" because they never bloody are and I don't know that they work for an MMO anyway. Yes Dalaran lags a bit at certain times of the day - but what can you do when people log on to chat to their mates (which is fine) but show a lack of imagination and just stand there in Dalaran. With higher quality graphics you get a situation like AoC where there is multiple Dalarans to try and spread the load - and I find that fracturing and non-immersive.
The sense of humour. The first time the guild heard XT speak there was a huge burst of laughter over vent - we tend to avoid spoilers and it just struck us as so darned whacky. I hate it when the game takes itself too seriously and vanishes up its own arse (I find this is something I associate most with the Arena system).

Personally: Going to old-school raids again, like Molten Core and Blackwing Lair. They're still great fun if you go with 2 or 3 friends. (Plus it makes silly amounts of money 
)
Of course, Ranorak is also completely right - the game's what it is for the friends you make there
(YAY first post!)

I think my favourite part of WoW is just how massive it feels.
I don't really play for the gameplay, I play for the world and the atmosphere.
I mean sure there's some really awful zones like Stranglethorn that are so horrible to play in that any atmosphere is totally ruined, but for the most part, I get an absolute sense of wonder and amazement riding around basking in the world that bliz created. It's just a shame I finally got really into WoW mega late. I had a character a few years ago but I spent all my time RP-ing and never playing, and now I'm playing more than RP-ing and everythings just dead. You can spend your whole day in Arathi and never see another player, weird, weird stuff.
But yeah, the atmosphere for sure.

A word of warning to you, keep a parachute at hand.
If I had to pick a feature, I'll go for the Random Dungeon Finder.
I started playing again last week after I stopped over a year ago, making a new character and all, starting from scratch. The RDF is the best tool ever added to WoW. I can finally do instances I could never do before. It's a massive boost for leveling without feeling like a cheap boost. Together with BG exp it adds a lot more variety to leveling up, it's so much more fun than before.

Seconded, Blizzard truly created an amazing world. By the sound of it, you're not that high of a level. If you already love the original areas, just wait until you enter the Outlands. But even the Outlands are nothing compared to Northrend, Blizzard's absolute masterpiece. The detail in the environments, the music, everything is just perfect. Exploring all the dungeons, finding beautiful vistas (I love WoW's graphics, fits the Warcraft universe), things going on, little references and anything. Brilliant stuff.TheXRatedDodo said:
Back when I used to play, my favorite thing was to go back and solo the easier dungeons. I was so happy after killing every single enemy in ragefire chasm with one AoE spell.
also, though I liked raiding and doing instances, I found that I was a lot better at PVP.
ps. when you are top lvl, you have not lived until you stand with pvp enabled by the rival factions starting area and pretend to be afk.

The best thing about wow for me was just starting it. When i first started it was me and a few friends that joined all at the same time with one already on the server as a lv 50 mage, me and my noob friends would explore and get so excited about seeing new places and races and what not, but the time that I think of when I remember WOW would have to be the time a friend and I, just starting off, i was lv 18 and my friend 17. We were getting a run through deadmines by our lv 50 friend and he had to go for a min, so we took off all our amour and weapons to just our capes, started doing lude things to our friend as he sat there until the pats re-spawned and we didn't know until they were attacking,so we started running naked through deadmines being chased wearing capes and screaming for help.
