I don't believe there is ANYTHING in the game right now that comes close to the effort Kara took. I FINALLY got in on a pug, and got Legacy,(http://www.wowhead.com/?item=28587) which I didn't replace until I was 75 or so. The next Kara run I went into, I was invited on a guild run, joined that guild, and am still there 3 years later. I think removing attunements was a mistake by Blizzard. (I still keep my Drakefire Amulet as well.) My stepson plays now, and has been able to get from start to H ToC in less than 2 months. Kara.

I can remember the first time I stepped inside and saw that OMG the <i>trash</i> mobs (those first two Molten Giants in particular) were bigger than anything I'd seen before. Plus you had to have people doing the Hydraxian Warlords questline to get the water for the runes.. and then you had to swim <i>all the way out in Azshara to get a new one</i> every week. Not to mention, 'You're the bomb!!!,' assigning targets on Garr (pre raid icons), and coordinating Majordomo.. Kara was great, no mistake, but MC was definitely the original epic raid to me.

The Sunken Temple of Atal'Hakkar. Oh yes, I dearly remember the days of, after alot of hard work, getting my old Elven Warrior to the appropriate level, and getting a quest to collect feathers for some odd Orcish type. At the time, I was in the best guild ever created, The Crystal Chosen, so my dear memories mostly include getting run through it by a high-leveled Paladin. The first thing I recall about it, is the sheer amount of times I swam to the zombie-Troll infested place. Or, well, lack of ability to count the amount of times. And I actually don't think I ever got all the armor I wanted... Hm. Now there's the instance itself. I always remember rushing through the top floor, and almost always forgetting to hit the various switches, causing in a marathon run. And when we finally got down, I was so excited I would jump around and pull every single dragonkin in the room. Luckily, Paladins can rez. :3 Then there's the bosses. No, not bosses, it's THE BOSS. Shade of Eranikus. That's right, a grumpy old dragon, who you trap in an emerald gem and use as an earring. Oh how I rejoiced everytime I released his poisonous cloud, causing making the poor dragon very upset with me. ^.^ And then there's the jump... The jump of death... I still remember getting bubbled by the paladin so I would survive, only to see him forgetting to bubble himself. Sadly, Warriors can't rez. :3 My own best memory of an instance is one of the lesser talked about ones. The Sunken Temple of Atal’Hakkar.

Without doubt. It was my first raid, even though I've played since October 2005 (<=total slowpoke), and I can remember how nervous I was when, just a few days after dinging 70, I got asked in guild chat if I wanted to fill in a dps spot. I got summoned in to Maiden, and my heart beat so fast. I was so scared of messing up, and everything went just perfect. I even got lucky and picked up Legacy on my very first run. Karazhan and its lovely music will forever be the epitome of raiding to me. ^^ Karazhan. Without doubt.
