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!
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!!
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.

Bob's current fate if you were interested:
He has become quite legendary for the Dapple family

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.
