There was lots of controversity regarding the event itself mainly in regards to the Scepter Holder and the ways and validity of claim. To read more on this follow to Gates of Ahn'Qiraj Event Background.
==The event==
The event began with gathering of masses in front of Gates of Ahn'Qiraj. Due to it being a one time event and lasting a total of 10 hours in time it was impossible to predict what numbers of people were there during the whole time or what amount of storylines or other RP-style events started or concluded there.
When the gong was rang, the gates opened and General Rajaxx heralded the end of the world from the top of the gates before sending out massive waves of Anubisaths and his Qiraji lieutenants and vast army of Insect like creatures to try to push towards the Cenarion Hold in center of Silithus. At same time three Hive Colossi spawned at their respective hives to be beaten by the defenders. Across Kalimdor crystals started appearing spawning more Qiraji in those areas and the crystals would mind contro lthe nearby heroes who would dare come close to them.
The continious battle raged for 11 hours, across Kalimdor the 7th Legion and the Kor'kron Vanguard under combined army called The Might of Kalimdor (under lead of Saurfang) as well as various heroes pushed back the beasts to the gates where Qiraji's final push was stopped and siege to Gates and Temple of Ahn'Qiraj began.
The event concluded and the Emissary of Bronze Flight, Jonathan the Revelator was sent to guard the gong and announce the Victory of the re-emerged War of the Shifting Sands.
==Result==
The Gates have been opened and players were able to do Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj (20 man) and Temple of Ahn'Qiraj (40 man) instances. Various Roleplaying storylines were adapted, started or finished that day. It was a good event overall, despite lacking in organization and the drama that came with it.
