Great thread :)

One of my favorites is the new Nomad. The beer draughts and the many bottles on the shelves, and then when Gideon came up with the random drinks thing, just... over the top. Throw in the musicians (I always tip) and the great NPCs gathered at the far end, the nooks and crannies, my favorite tables, the small details everywhere. For a guy who loved to start and end his adventures in the tavern, I love the feel of the Nomad!

This is going to sound like a strange, obvious thing. But...

When people take time out of their day to sit around and roleplay with me. Always good for a smile, thinking about the appreciation that indicates.

That even with our best interests at heart, the staff who give up amazing amounts of time trying to make this the best sandbox to play in, still hear us when little things would hurt even the most casual of players the most!!

Those rare epic moments that make you want to cry from emotion involved, then look back and smile because of the true effect it has on you.

Penguins.

We need them back on the server if they truly no longer exist as a wandering NPC.

The continued existence of Bob the Bush. I also am still tickled pink each time I see Breggan's ales in Brog thanks to Artos using those for his descriptions.

Seeing my character make a lasting difference or impression in another character's life..since I always feel like kind of a second-rate player of disposable characters, it's cool to feel like I'm not just RPing into the wind all the time.

Morris the Nightwatchman, the Rotheherd, the dude by the Spore Farm doors, the duergar merchant who says "Evenin'", and the drow next to the gate in the flood plains in particular stand out, and I love them and their attitude.
Well if the subject is things that make us smile, just knowing that some players have bothered to read these conversations definitely counts for me. I do sometimes worry that I write them just for myself.
All of the descriptions to all of the NPCs and monsters. I sometimes sit on Improved Expertise reading them when I should be worried about impending doom. This is perhaps why I never make it past level 7.

Also:

The ACL satirical financial market system.

Wandering Willie.

All of The Derlson Estate / Crypt.

When you misspell someone's name at a Speedy or they log out and the Speedy calls you "Kiddo"

Can't explain why, but it makes me laugh a little inside. Especially if I'm playing a dwarf or an elf.
