Sneaking into Durotar (on a PvP server) as my level 13 nightelf hunter. My goal was to tame the (then) fast-attacking, rare spawn scorpid. I recall actually taking a nap beforehand so i could get up at 1am to avoid the masses of horde that would be running about the zone. Upon first reaching Ashenvale i ACTUALLY paused at the Darkshore border. I had NEVER entered a contested zone before and was looking at a level 21 wolf off in the distance with apprehension. Still, i managed to cross the zone with only one death (damn bears!) and reach the large river that runs down past Orgimmar and the Barrens. I took a screenshot of the massive Org bridge as i snuck under it, hid in a tree as a lvl ?? flew over me (yes, even though the hordie was on an fp, i felt like he was going to jump out of nowhere in a few seconds and GET me). Finally, near the riverbank at the edge of a mountain i found the black and red scorpid i sought. I'll be honest, i hearthed out of there like a madman as soon as my taming succeeded. But it was a grand adventure and more than a few guildie's jaws hit the floor the following day when they realized where my new pet had come from.

And i still have that scorpid!
