And by this, I'm referring to the actual campaigns and missions in any of the games.

For me, if would have to be all the missions in the Shiverpeaks right after getting out of Ascalon. Being up in those snowy mountains, the different towns, dwarves, etc was all very very fun for me.

I think me having started playing during the Wintersday events may have helped in this area, since I had that Christmas feeling goin' on anyway.

I enjoyed everything the first time I played through GW. All the scenery, the missions, everything. I REALLY enjoyed PvP the first time I played that too.

So basically, if you want to enjoy GW, play it once and never play it again.

the first time i made it out of post searing and into the shiverpeaks. there were several areas where it snowed and the music that went along with it was amazing. it was one of those "wow" moments.

my favorite was the first time i beat the doppleganger and glint, and made it to droknars forge. droks was the main trading outpost then and was full of people and had like 5 districts.

also, i really liked the 3 missions after that. maybe it just seemed fun to me because i hated the desert so much...?

When Factions was released and I made my first Profession in GW - Assassin (Now my main character for over 3.5 years).
First time I tested the Assassins moves in Temple of Balthazaar WOWOW!!(twisting fangs, blades of steel, nine tails strike, falling spider, Aura of Displacement) I cried with joy. First time I gone through Shing Jea island was very fun too. And the first time I used Shadowsteps without aftercasts with my Assassin was awsome (Aura of Displacement GvG- sigh* fun times)

I would have to say my favorite part was when I started Cartographing in Tyria and seeing all the little touches that the designers put into the game.

Stumbling into Tears of the Fallen the first time blew my mind. I had no idea there was a zone there, lol

I enjoyed every single thing in Prophecies. Love the storyline, the missions, the quests, the enemies.

Factions. Especially the Jade Sea.
Plus the fact that it came out at the time when I enjoyed GW the most helped immensely.

first-off, pre... the path from ascalon to ashford abbey, the tree lined dirt path, light filtering through, the love of my GW life my ele just strolling along trying to be crafty avoiding the scale (which i had no idea where non-hostile)... god that was beautiful.

then, i didnt experience that level of awe for scenery untill i did my attribute point quest in the desert. that high rise over looking the arid sea... i musta stood there for 30 min. and ive done so with each following character that went on that quest.

Tyria is undoubtedly my favorite, top to bottom. i miss those days

I think pre is my favorite place, then Old Ascalon and Jade Sea. The only place I really do not like is Maguuma Jungle and I dislike several NF missions.

I think this would be:

a) Southern Shiverpeaks in Tyria.
b) Pongmei Valley, I just love it. Cantha, of course.
c) Vabbi in Elona.
d) Uh... Uhm... Some Asuran areas, I guess. Although I hate monsters there.

PUGing The Villainy of Galrath has always been fun. I think it took me a couple of hours the first time i did it, but boy it was the sweetest 4K XP I ever got.

Prophecies for the most part.

I specially love the northern shiverpeaks.

Factions just the island and kurzick side other than that factions is kinda of ugly.

Nightfall every part apart from the realm and the sulphurous....

Going to droks on foot. Wish there'd been more "epic journeys" like that in the game.

Dzagonur Bastion... Best! Mission! Ever! so good if you know how to do it, but a bitch if you dont.

Other then that... first time I instagibed someone with a sin was cool (soon lost the coolness factor), and probably the first time I won the deep.

I have to say Pre- is still the most beautiful place in the game, but standing in the crystal desert looking at the HUGE statues all around is pretty awe inspiring too.

One of my favorite places in Prophecies is Yak's Bend. I think it's one of the best designed outposts in the game and getting there the first time felt like a big accomplishment.

Pongmei Valley in factions is gorgeous. I was soooo happy to get there after getting through that crap-fest of a city, and soooo irritated when I found out I had to go back into it!

The first time going through the Chabek Village mission was fun. When I saw what that was about, defending the village and sinking the corsair ships, I thought "If this is the kind of stuff we're gonna see in the rest of the game, Nightfall is gonna be a lot of fun!"

Scenery and the Lore always catches my interest in any game.

And by Lore I mean the storyline and the background information.

I still have my very first char on my main account ..my Ranger. The

experiance moving from Pre into the destuction of the areas around Ascalon

the Teaming up with people who like myself explored the areas as we moved

through the Storyline.

The people who grouped where friendly not wishing to rush the game in case

we missed something.

This made me buy the other ones as soon as they were released.

I have to say overall I enjoyed Proficies the most as each area had its own

particular area that I liked as with Factions and Nightfall each has some wow factor areas

First time playing trough Nightfall and particular Istan and Vabbi was pretty epic for me. Felt like i was playing another game not just another chapter.

Just took my warrior through the part I HATE with all my guts, the desert in C1, and since the poor sod is Tyrian (beauty above all) - he needed to go to the Arid Sea to get his 15 attribute points.
And there I was remembered of one of my first 'damn'-moments when I walked all over that chick-statue!
LOVE that one!

The first was Nolani Academy. The rush of trying to keep up with Prince Leeroy when he was the highest-level character around, and then the "What?! No!" effect of the end cutscene. I hear a decent challenge + an immersive storyline is how you make a good game, no?

The second was the desert. I remember wandering around for hours in Diviner's Ascent - there were no directions, and I was walking with henchies (who kept wiping, which made the going tough). But the scenery, the music, the feel of desolation (not Desolation, which was an UGH take on the Crystal Desert's sand-blasted beauty), and the "free-world" feel of the exploration all made it a great experience.
