wow_ladies popped up today, and since my answer is probably too long for a comment I'm going to post it here instead.
What a Long, Strange Trip It's Been!
an end of the year WotLK meme for WoW_Ladies~
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Our Intrepid Heroes
[1:] Who/what are your mains?-Illythia, 80 Blood Elf priest is my MAIN main.
[2:] Which alts were your favorite this year?-I will always love my Undead mage, Adenine, who was my first character, ever...even though I don't play her as much. My druid actually got more attention this year since I was so determined to get her to 80.
[3:] How many characters did you get to 60? 70? 80?-Two! My mage hit 80 in July and my druid hit 80 a couple of days ago.
DING!
[4:] What character are you most proud of and why?-My priest, because she is the character that I try to get all my achievements on, and who has the best gear. (Not THE best gear, but...the best gear out of all my characters.)
Around Azeroth
[5:] What was your biggest/most memorable achievement(s) this year? What was the most painful?-I suppose it was getting a 1300 rating on my 2s team (and getting
Brutally Dedicated.) I'm not very good at arena-ing, and it was difficult, so getting 1300 certainly felt like a great accomplishment to me. It was also the most painful accomplishment.
[6:] What has been the most fun raid/pve fight so far in WotLK?-I like that Onyxia's back, mostly for the nostalgia.
[7:] What was your favorite quest/questchain?-Battle for Undercity, hands down.
[8:] A lot of powerful lore has been introduced in this expansion. Any favorite bits?-Everything that happened in Battle for Undercity; the fact that we got to meet Alexstrasza.
[9:] The rise of the Lich King has changed Azeroth and its people so much. Who's your favorite NPC(s) in this expansion?-Definitely Sylvanas. I'm sad that they had to change her voice, but she is still a total badass. And it's great that she has more of a prominent role in the expansion.
[10:] Which in-game holiday was the most fun this year?-I liked the Midsummer Fire Festival, mainly because I got to do most of the achievements with my boyfriend.
Friends and Enemies
[11:] Did you change guilds this year? If so why?-Yes. Because my guild fell apart and I didn't do anything with them anyway (I joined in the first place because I knew the guild leader from our previous guild, who I raided Karazhan with in BC, but he left). Now I'm in Kessel Run, which is full of RL friends and our alts.
[12:] What was your guild's biggest/proudest accomplishment this year?-Um, we...don't really do anything except farm badges and arena.
[13:] Did you make a lot of new friends? Any mortal enemies?-I like chatting with the people in Mayari's guild! They seem to be pretty chill. As for mortal enemies, I'm pretty sure that I hate the entirety of the Horde population on Dragonmaw (with the exception of a certain Undead mage who helped me with an elite).
[14:] Any fun or memorable PVP encounters?-Every time I healbot one of my friends in a battleground is fun! We like to tear shit up, yo. OH, and there was also this one time when I was playing my druid and some mage tried (key word: tried) to kill me. Let's just say that shadowmeld saved my ass, and I got my revenge.
Looking Ahead
[15:] What changes are you most excited for in Cataclysm?-Flying mounts in Azeroth! YES. Oh, and the fact that we only have five more levels, not ten. That's a plus.
[16:] Which new race/class combos are you going to roll? Got any names yet?-I guess I'm going to have a spiffy new goblin bank alt! Seems fitting, yes?
[17:] Where do you see your character in the next few months?-Wherever she is, I hope she's kicking serious ass.

I hope everyone had a great WoW year! Happy new year to all, and I hope all of you get a lot of achievements in 2010!
