How far did you get through the dungeon?

Oh, probably about 1/4 - 1/3 of the content before I started to get burned out by it. We played for a good 2 years or so (we played every other week). There were a couple of near-TPKs in that time. I think they fully explored only about 3 or 4 of the sections.

I eventually ended the campaign by throwing in a Deck of Many Things (knowing that to be a campaign wrecker). Someone drew the card that granted wishes, and I allowed it to teleport them to the final room. One of the frost giant guards still managed to kill a PC as they ran for the exit.

Question for those who have played through this, especially if it has been a few years.
What stands out in your memory as iconic moments / scenarios / encounters from WLD? And why?

The negatives: at higher levels it highlighted some flaws of 3.5 (over-powered spells, long high-level combats due to so much math and buffs)

The positive: each region could live and breathe (not region N...undead lol) if you were willing to put the extra effort in.
