Turalyon doesn't really feel for it though... Server problems since two hours ago, or something like that. Was just able to play a little again, but not much.

I'm sure once the people at worldofwar.net post about it, that server is gonna get hammered with new characters. Unless they turn it off right before it happens so only those already there can actually see it. Hope you'll at worldofwar.net dont post anyting about it happening on our server. It's laggy enough already :grin:

Can someone elaborate to me on what exactly this means when the gates are open. BTW, I am at work so any posts to the official forums won't work for me due to a Proxy here on the server. Sorry for the noob question as for I am still a rookie only been playing for little over a month

[zkajan]

unless you're 60 or close to it you really shouldn't care much about this

Not true, if ur around lvl 20 or 30 u can go South of Camp T and there are crystals that spawn elites that give TONS of greens and a few blues.

In Shimmering Flats there are 45 Elites and in Gadgetzan there are 50s.

Have fun grinding those greens and blues.

WTF does this have to do with the AQ gates? :ponder:

Link (http://youtube.com/watch?v=mELEr4UpbvI), if you can reach Youtube, then you should be able to get that video to run. That ought to explain nicely what the big fuss is about.

A picture can equal a thousand words, a video of almost 4 minutes can equal a whole lot more. :wink:

Click the link and find out. :tongue:
The fun isn't relegated to Silithicus alone, several places in Kalimdor get to join the fun.. Starship Troopers and Godzilla kind of fun. :evil:

Edit, due to Google yanking the vid off of their servers. :grrrr:

[HToWNHoGG]

video not found :cry:

Try again, replaced the vid link with another one. Not sure, if he can reach it now, but it's about the best I can do at this point.

What those crystals have to do with AQ??? Have u done ur research on AQ gates opening?

Those crystals appear when the gates are opened at the places I said. They last for 8 hours. 8 hour rush for as many greens and blues u can kill for.

10 hours not 8 :p

Now what must take place for the gates to be opened? And how often does this occur?

Once in a server occurence, and it had to do with doing a lot of turn-ins of specific items to help the war effort. Different types of bandages, herbs, food, metal bars. In addition, it involves for at least one high level raiding guild, to make the sceptar to ring the gong, and that requires certain items you can only get in those high level raid instances.

Well, Turaylon is my home, and it was totally unplayable last night. At least a dozen crashes, and when the server was up, I couldn't even get 5 FPS in Silithus (normally 60 on my PC). I eventually gave up. One nice thing was that due to some bug, the gates were actually briefly open before the gong was rung. When the server crashed again and came back, it was closed. So a group of at least 60 people saw the opening from the inside :p A bit scary, as the moment the gong was rung a large amount of mobs immediately spawned inside.

Conclusion: nice idea, but only with sufficient server capacity....
