What was your first raid EVER?

[Deleted]

Kara, best raid ever!

[Dramma]

First raid was Kara... love it... other than the fact it took about 20+ kills to get my tier gloves and I was first in line for them (as a lock). Then went to Gruul's lair seemed like it needed so much coordination, dont know how the knuckleheads I play with pulled it off. At that point it looked like my raiding career was coming to an end. Couldn't get enough people for 25m. Switched servers, joined a new guild that I pugged Kara with and went on to kill Archi and Illidan. Ah such great memories!

Stratholme pug, didnt go well.

[Stoker]

stratholme class run lol, it was a mess. we really needed those two extra people. since there were only 8 classes for the horde and it was a 10man raid :P

[Aideren]

Probably ICC

Molten core...never gonna forget that ^^

UBRS. Fond memories of many failed attempts to kite Drakky out of the room with a hunter while we tried (and failed) to take down the other two mobs.

[The Ogdru Jahad]

Karazahn. Started raiding when BC came out. Didn't really get past tier5. But those were the days!

[Nobleshield]

ICC; I remember we were doing the first wing and had a few problems on Deathwhisper due to a lot of us being newbs. Gunship was always a joke. Then we had Saurfang and I remember vividly that we killed him our last attempt of the night, right as our raid time ended, and we were all cheering and everything over vent. It was great.

[Auloria]

Zul Gurub. I think I was healing, but I cant be sure because I was dead for pretty much the whole time.

It was a long time before I raided again after that.

[jahasafrat]

UBRS for me (even though I've never thought of it as a "real" raid) followed shortly after by MC and ZG.

[Evalian]

Karazhan and I loved it. Made a bunch of good friends in that guild. Ahh, the memories.

[jaggedpuffy]

Do the Wailing Caverns or UBRS count?

[Syro]

10 man brs/strat were 10 man instances if i recall, but if they count as raids then Strat must be the first, on a lvl 52 rogue, on 20 december 2005 if i remember right. I remember winning the cloack, wich was quite a good item back then, i felt like santa came early and was super happy.
If the 10 man dont count then it must be ZG20 in early 2006 with my holy pala as a dispell bot I won some blue shield that i still have in bank.

[TheOjoloco]

Plane of Fear in EQ, but if you mean wow only, UBRS/MC

[Cute Chen]

Kara or Zul'Aman.

[Krulani]

Wrath Naxxramas 25man. I was so floored by how cool everything was, It was 3-4 hours of bliss. I had no idea what raiding was like, everything felt so epic at that point in gaming for me.

[Deleted]

MC when I was 58 >>. Dont ask why my guild took me in there lol. Sad thing is I outlived a lot of the 60s on most of the boss fights.

Well, MC was a 40 man raid, I remember taking a 58 druid to the raid since we had a few spots to fill, he even got a tier 1 piece on his first run and he wasn't even 60 yet!


For me... ubrs I suppose if that counts... well to be fair, I think I whent on a classrun strat and scholo before that tho!

[rayden54]

Depends on how you look at it. I think I did the first boss of ToC before I realized you don't do raids right after you ding max level. I got laughed at and kicked for my gear.

The first raid I completed was Ony. The new one that is.

[Sanguinare]

40man dead mines.
