Wow - there is no one single thing that springs to mind, many many but a very very condensed list:
Getting my first epic (ranger)
Getting a pair of Short Swords of Ykesha
Becomming a grand master fletcher
Being asked to be an officer of a guild
My first successful raid zone completion
As for Pantheon
Becoming a Keeper
Mastering crafting of some kind
Finding something that no one else has
Like Chenzeme, it's hard for me to pick one.
Finishing my epic in EQ (Earthcaller was a pita).
Killing Coirnav with my original guild (We had problems with that squidthing).
Being a raidleader, especially on some of the guildfirsts.
Again completing the quest for an epic, this time Rhok'delar in WoW. Was a fun one :-).
I'll leave it at that.

Finding a group of sensible and mature people that I've been playing with for over 15 years.
Bonus points if you already have a goal in Pantheon that you want to work towards when we launch the game.
Convincing more of them that Pantheon is not vaporware, and that they should play it.
In the past, getting my epic cleric weapon in Everquest and all that involved, big and small.
Taking part in a raid that involved about 70 people and was played almost constantly over 48 hours.
Getting most of the way through the monk epic including mostly soloing the Rasta camp for several hours and loving nearly every minute.
For Pantheon, playing every single class-race combo and settling on a main (and making YouTube guides for the community as I do it)
Doing epic quests Pantheon-style
Becoming known for being a good and helpful player and community member.

As Director of War and Fleet Commander for my 40 person EVE Online corporation, devising then successfully executing a plan to kick out a corporation of 150 people from their space so we could take it over.

EverQuest: Researching and reporting on an emulator which changed the items and gameplay for thousands of players. The lasting effect of each change was worth more than any single quest item or dkp win. A close second would either be the completion of an epic, or Shawl 7 + Ring 9.

Convincing the powers that be of an unlikely third race option for paladins: Elves. Failing that, either obtaining an illusion item later on to achieve the same look or obscuring those human round ears with a helmet and maxing out faction accordingly, being more or less a xenophile of Faerthale.
WoW - I beat the game!
When WoW was released the end game raids were released every few months, starting with Molten Core. I had each piece from MC, same for Blackwing Lair, The Temple of Ahn’qiraj and Naxxramas. I even had the Hand of Ragnaros. Before the first expansion came out, Burning Crusades, I literally had every Best in Slot item the game offered for 2 years. I thought I was hot stuff, lol. To my mind, I beat the game! 2004-2006 was epic.
Using EQ as "Virtual Visitation" with my Sons. The "Ex" like to be...problematic. But EQ was not on her radar, so when visitation for various bull$hit reasons was denied, I played EQ with my sons.
It was great to have this in common, they excelled at EQ, it allowed them to mentor me at times, building a stong relationships, that otherwise would have suffered had it not been for EQ.
Play Pantheon with my now adult Sons and friends. Join a nice friendly guild, build friendships and community. Enjoy the world and the players in it. let it be the escapeism that Pantheon should be.
In Everquest
Doing my Epic 1.0 in one week. Then doing Epic 1.5 in 20 hours lol. Didn't go to bed until I got it. Thankful for friends help.
Those are the days that I miss. You do things together to help each other out because the content required a group and was challenging. The strongest currency in game was a favor.
EQ --
On my path to mastering brewing, I spent a lot of time in the Plane of Knowledge (during PoP expansion), leveling my brewing and chatting up the public while doling out Wizard ports. I knew I had to quit playing the game for awhile due to some upcoming life changes, and so I threw a huge party with all the virtual alcohol I had crafted. Everyone had a blast and I'm pretty sure we had well over 100 players EQ drunk at the same time.
Gooooood fun memories :D
Guild wise
Beating Plane of Time as a non hardcore guild just before the GoD expansion.
- Sure the final boss wasn't so hard , but it really did feel like an accomplishment as in lore we had beat all of the gods.
- Also, the next arc in GoD (alien invaders) was rubbish, the mechanics really buggy, and WoW had just realeased. Felt like a fitting end.
Personal
- Stormfeather; I will never do another camp like that in my life!

This was literally one of the biggest reasons I quit - some classes could get their epic in a day, while others took months and months of grinding for super rare items in high risk places that took well organized groups. But I solo'd most of my Epic for my wiz, druid, and Bard (and had my wiz's epic by level 46) but could not get my main character's (DE SHD) epic until level 75... and he was my main - max level every expansion through Planes of Power - just couldn't get the drops. I actually solo'd all of my Wiz's epic (except for killing Cazic Thule - which I had 2 friend's help me with) as my 65 SHD; Same for my Bard's with the exception of the Red Scale and killing Trakanon, and I did most of my Druid's as my lvl 51 Druid with the exception of Venril Sathir and some fight in the Karanas that I had a lvl 60 Mage solo for me... but they were NOTHING like having to grind rep as a DE SHD just to speak to different NPCs around the game, just to have to grind Plane of Sky, Plane of Hate, Plane of Fear, (RAID zones) the Hole for super rare drops... that you have to share with other players - and then have incredible boss battles that require a warrior to use defensive disc to tank (or be severely out leveled).
But, with all of that said - finally getting my epic at 75 and my 2.0 at 80 (as seen in my avatar) was my greatest accomplishment... I got it out of spite and then quit again - useless lvl 55 item that took me 15+ years to get... the fights were still difficult at lvl 80... Lhranc was level 70 - and the quest was designed for lvl 55 players... mean while, the toughest fight for the Druid Epic is Venril Sathir, a level 55 open world boss on a 3 day spawn timer that has great loot (and other Epic pieces) for all classes - F'n stupid.
edit: My goal for PRotF is to not pick the race/class combo that gets the table scraps this time... sounds achievable, but we will see :(

All of my best pvp 1vX's are pretty memorable over the years.
But I am probably most proud of soloing my Farsha, Beastmaster's Empyrean Weapon in Final Fantasy 11. This required repeatedly soloing many different raid bosses, including two very difficult raid bosses Dragua and Resheph- both considered unsoloable at the time. I finished the weapon very quickly and was the first person to have it out of all the players I knew, maybe even servers first.
My goal in pantheon is to learn everything about the game and be a sort of sage of information. I also want to constantly push the upper echelon of what I can solo.

THAT IS AWESOME!
Proves youre a great dad, did what it took for the best of you and your sons relationship! /Salute
I would say my greatest accomplishment was making some great memories.
I made friends I woud not have otherwise ever met, spent hours with them camping
areas for XP and adventuring, learning the game (EQ) and then when they moved on
after 6 months I learned about guilds and became a prominant member switching from
warrior to healer as the guild needed new more effective healers and I became the guilds
Prime Healer. One of my favorite memories in regards to guilds was mentoring new players
and taking them on lesser difficulty dungeon crawls to explain and teach raid tactics, the dos and donts..
how things evolve as your delver deeper and we had ALOT of fun doing it. It wasnt about the loot, it was about
the adventure, the feel of Dungeons and Dragons being brought to life.
In EQ
1st hardest thing was getting that Ranger Epic. For what it was when I got it, It was OK. Something had surpassed it that was almost easier to get at that point and I cannot recall what it was but I had hung on so long to get down the list of getting drops I was like HELL YEAH I want it.
Master Fletcher was cool making incredible bows was great, the failures when they happened were VERY disheartening. but that was life in making stuff.
Afer that 3 boxing the ranger a shaman or a wizard and a cleric on one PC during raids was yeah the next hardest thing to do LOL
Just glad at that point I could afford the dough to make a machine that could handle all that.
Upcoming
As someone already said. Just getting to play the game in my lifetime.
