    Today I experienced my first world event in World Of Warcraft. I missed the Wrath of The Lich King events due to a broken computer, and when Burning Crusades was getting ready to launch I was too low level and inexperienced to take part in anything. Not knowing what to expect I began my quests lines in Durotar (yeah I sw
    itched my hunter over to horde to follow my friends) and I have never seen so many people hanging out in the starting zones. Hundreds of people! It was pure insanity. Our mission was to take back the Troll's land and all I can say is AOE is the only way to go, because you can't tell what is going on.. I normally  get about 61 frames per second in the vanilla WOW zones, I was pulling about 13 frames during the fights.

     This Is Everyone waiting at the Echo Isles for the fight to begin.

     This is everyone's spell effects going off at once. I couldn't see a thing. AOE and pray.

    I remember back in old WoW when they opened the Ahn'Qiraj gates they had a world event all within Tanaris and Silithis. It crashed almost every high population server. I'm surprised they tried something like that again.

    @raiz265: I remember the lag was so bad, I recall calling into the mic for a guild healer saying to press the button now, I'll need a heal in 5 minutes.
