I was working last night when the Lich King began his attacks on Orgrimmar and then Stormwind, but his attacks were still underway when I got home to try to record All Things Azeroth. Once that fell through, I headed into game and took a look for myself. I was very happy with the event, though wish it had gone longer. What was especially nice, for someone who is concerned a lot with the impact of epic world events on lower level characters, was that lower levels who ventured to the docks were not attacked by all the aggresive mobs that were out.
As an end to the Burning Crusade era of World of Warcraft, I couldn't ask for a better, more epic experience, and it might not even be over yet. Right now the servers are still down, a mail bug that occured on maintenance and vanished all of our mail(the work of the LichKing no doubt), but when they come back up, who knows what might be happening. Will the event have progressed? Or will repeated attacks on major cities be the end of the Burning Crusade era of this game we all love. Farewell, Lord Illidan. We were not prepared when we flooded through the portal, but we leave to face new challenges, new enemies, new adventures. /salute

The very disappointing thing about this most recent even was that the same people who were complaining about how the latest incarnation of the Scourge Invasion was infringing on their gameplay also complained about how insignificant the attacks on the Stormwin Harbor seemed. They lamented that the mobs were so easy to defeat and hated that lowbies were able to come and experience the event as well.
Some people are just never happy. Me? I thought that it was a slick way to transition to Wrath of the Lich King, though I would have preferred to see a little more and on a larger timer.
