Top 10 Feelings of 'Accomplishment' in a Video Game

[Dave]

That link Vinny posted about FFXI vs Lineage 2 made me try and recall a top 10 list of memorable moments in MMOs, but I suppose expanding it to games in general would work too.

1. Beating FF3 (6)
2. Obtaining Joyeuse in FFXI
3. Obtaining 2000 rating in WoW
4. Obtaining Ashkandi in WoW
5. Obtaining 1850 rating in WoW
6. Getting Rank 10 & Finishing Zilart in FFXI
7. Leveling to max in the starter town in FF Legends 2
8. Reaching level 75 in FFXI
9. Getting a subjob in FFXI
10. Beating FF7

Every time I don't die in Eve, ever. Also, one time that I died.

• the time I did die, woke up in pod in a hostile station without a clone, and managed to get my pod out through the hostile camps. I have never been so nervous/relieved in such quick succession in my life (video game or otherwise).
• the time I didn't die to a blob
• the time I didn't die to a trap
• the time I didn't die stealing some else's loot
• the time I didn't die in my new command ship
• the time I didn't die rescuing a corpmate
• the time I didn't die beating the crap out of an enemy fleet
• the time I didn't die in my Sabre because I dodged an Arazu and two Huginns

Also, occasionally I feel a sense of accomplishment when I kill someone. This rarer because I don't care for pitched battles.
The second and third kills I ever got, which happened at the same fight guest starring the good General Cornballis.
First fight I ever had in 0.0.
Also, killing stupid dudes for massive loot is nice.
