That is Rank (up)

Ranking up is an essential part of playing any MMO. Even Guild Wars, where you really expand your character through gaining new skills. Skills which have no level requirements. It's still fun to level and get new points to spend on you characters. In WAR, getting the new skill/tactic/whatever for the rank is always nice. I've been waiting forever to get to rank 25 on my Blackguard so I can get Exile.
But there seem to be some times when you rank up that are more interesting or memorable than others. And some ranks that should be more memorable. Like rank 40.
Well, one such memorable rank up for me was with my Choppa a few weeks ago. I was playing Stone Troll Crossing and we had Order pushed up against their spawn. I was happy because for once we were owning the place. A Bright Wizard set me in her sights and that was it. I chased her down and began the choppin'. When I strippped the life from the overachieving BW, not only did I get the kill for Damaz Kron, but I also ranked up to 13. That was a doubly enjoyable kill.
Now, as for a rank up that should be memorable. My main, Anromir the Desciple of Khaine made it to rank 40 a couple months ago. Again, I was really looking forward to a knockback skill (Uncaring Dismissal this time). I'd been grinding through the Spirits of Eataine PQ solo to powerlevel, and I ranked up to 40 killing a trash mob on my way to finish the second stage of the PQ. Not so glamorous. But I remember it none-the-less.
Anyone else have a memorable rank up to share?

During one of the Live Events, I can't remember which, there was giants in the RvR lakes, and I came across a group of 6 attempting to beat one; I ended up jumping them from behind and killing their lone healer before they noticed I was there, and then, with the giants help who hits hard, ended up wiping the whole group!
In tier 3 you get about 10k per solo kill, which is a nice chunk, and for that little adventure I got well over 40k which I remember leveled me =)
Shortly after that Awmg reached level 32... and then I deleted him.. so he's gone, but that fun memory remains ;)
