What was your first raid EVER?

[admielke]

Mine was Maraudon... no joke. You used to be able to 10 or 15 man it (forgot which). Scholomance, Stratholme, and Blackrock Spire were 10 man. I remember a video of a group of 8 Mages, 1 tank, 1 healer ran through UBRS AoE'ing everything.

Naxx 10 in wrath, some RL friends had finally convinced me to play, and once i got to max level they brought me along on an achieve run through naxx. i didn't do too bad, (did the whole +/- boss right, even aced the dance on haigan), but on Sapphiron i got tail whipped away from the frozen raid members (nobody told me dragons did that) and died. fucked up the whole "undying" achieve.

Karazhan, was fun times.

[Stormspellz]

10 man scholo, then 15man ubrs and of course molten chore.

[Demsi]

ICC, yes i am a wrath baby

[Huntermyth]

my first ever raid group was a stratholme 10 man run with a toon and account i dont have anymore (undead priest)

my first ''real'' raid was molten core and i will never forget that moment. even pulling the mobs was an issue back in the days and raids were using hunters for that specific duty. i had a hunter on my account but i had no idea how to play ( my wife leveled a female troll hunter on my account ) even then i had to level it and come to the next molten core raid. i did and oh boy, was it fun. since then i play my hunter as my main and for the memory of her first moments, i didn't race / gender changed her.

talk about pixel bonds hehe.

lvl 80 onyxia, sarth, totc, icc. i started raiding around the time plagueworks opened up in icc. i joined a decent guild and really started raiding in the end of icc.

never did ulduar when it was hard and i have always been sad about this.

Technically UBRS, but MC was my first.

Karazhan, with a pug. I had a lot of stamina gems (I've always played a mage) because I kept dying.

[Lightwysh]

10 man Upper Blackrock Spire when it was till raid instance

This. Followed by MC

[Donald Hellscream]

ZG on a almost freshly dinged level 60 hunter.. I distinctly remember being charged by a mob and hit for more hp than i had at full hp ( had maybe 4,5k and got hit for like 5k ) that was pretty hilarious and we only downed like 2 bosses

[Zoaric]

Naxx, we got spiders and military cleared before it all fell apart.

[Kalorna]

Zul Gurub during TBC >_> My boyfriend at the times guild was farming it for rep tokens and and I tagged along and won the polymorph turtle tome on my mage, having no idea how rare/desired it was. Once I'd hit 70 about a week later they dragged me to Karazhan and I spent most of the raid on the floor wondering how I died >_>

[Chickat]

The first raid I ever entered was either molten core in Wrath, or Naxx in wrath. I cant remember for sure. Ive been in every raid since lk naxx, but I raided naxx during Ulduar I believe.

[Ericanibus]

First time "raiding" something was 10 man Stratholme. First actual raid was Molten Core.

[The One Percent]

Molten Core. It was really boring and easy, but having shiny gear that made people stop and inspect me in town was somewhat nice.

Siege of Orgrimmar

ZG20, I will never forget the first moment I set foot in it

[raviadso]

UBRS/Strat. Can't tell you how much frustration there was with that: trying to PuG it by staying in trade for hours to get ten people (before LFR/LFG or even raid tools to help find a raid), getting to UBRS and having 2-3 wipes on whelps (the origins of the Leroy Jenkins meme), then having the whole raid collapse after a hunter jumped down into the proving ground area without dismissing a pet. It was awful. Without an organized raid, we'd wipe until the group disbanded and only had a success rate of about 15%. Strat wasn't as bad on the silly wipes, but it was still hard. Loved going back when they changed it from a 15man to a 5man and added speed runs for upgraded loot. The origins of the first heroic, but it took a lot of skill and strategy to discover what mobs you could leave (and then tip-toeing past them)

MC, on the other hand was awesome. I finally got into a competitive guild and we cleared that stuff quick. Lots of trash by today's standards, but really reasonable at the time and we were desperate for loot. The mechanics were really weak, though. Not nearly as tight as 10mans or even 25mans today. It only took a few semi-wipes to realize that the whole raid could be done with 10 people paying attention, which was pretty sad when you consider it was designed to be run with 40. Classes were also completely imbalanced to the point of being broken.

[Grey-Gore]

Molten Core, it was intimidating. These two giants in the front. Everything could kill you instantly, one of the best moments of my online life
