Here are some SS's of the AQ event
The main Horde guild and Alliance guild on my server both had the scepter and decided to fight over the rights to open the gate
I wasn't able to get any shots of the original fight, but both guilds were lined up facing eachother and all flagged. When it started, about 10 Alliance were dead before anyone could react--Horde wiped the floor with them (as it should be... fucking friends had to play Alliance)
Later on while we were all waiting for the opening swing someone made a fire and a bunch of druids sat in bearform around in a circle. A little while afterwards someone used the dancing trinket and we had a party (no pics of that part though)
The guild lined up to take a picture and almost immediately a ton of other people joined in... later on the line went from one end of the wall to the other
Here's one of the Colossals at one of the Hives (Ashi). All regular mobs disappear for the event and the resonating crystals that pop up spawn a bunch of other stuff
The colossals were probably the most fun to fight... ever. Their punt sends you flying ridiculously far and you can hear it from across the "zone".
And yes, I was a BM spec at this point I just hadn't respecced to 21/30 as this toon dinged 60 a day before the event.
PS yes it's a carebear server but that's where my friends play
The amount of people at the gate was insane. At one point there were about 300 Horde (majority of which were flagged) standing up at the top near the gong. An Alliance priest ran into the middle, flagged and feared
Overall, aside from the lag, it was a blast.
