Anathema PvP — The Winds of War Are Blowing

[Shenna 1135]

Travellers, it is time to put aside your differences, your hatred of each other and join together for the winds of war are blowing. Soon, with the cooperation of both sides, your efforts will not be for naught.

In the west, lies Silithus, home to the Qiraji, trapped in their eternal prison behind the scarab walls thanks to both Anachronos and Fandral. However, the dormant Old God stirs in his slumber, slowly waking from his eternal sleep.

Once more, the Qiraji stir, with the power of the Old God flowing through them, many of the Qiraji have escaped their prison, forcing the denizens of Azeroth to prepare, for war.

Soon, the combined efforts of The Horde and Alliance will come together to end this blight once and for all.

Join us as we embark, together, to collect resources and materials to help with the war effort. Every member of the Horde and Alliance, no matter how big or small, can help contribute.

Our world is changing, and with that, we too must adapt to persevere.

Patch 1.9 The Gates of Ahn’Qiraj

War Effort:
Alliance and Horde will work together to gather millions of supplies to aid the war front that is brewing in Silithus to launch an assault on the ancient Ahn’Qiraj Gates.

Scepter of the Shifting Sands:  Let the race begin to be the first champion on the server to complete the epic quest chain spanning numerous world bosses and raids in order to ring the gong and start the 10 hour battle to open the Ahn’Qiraj gate. To the victor goes the spoils.

The Ruins of Ahn’Qiraj: A new 20man raid, Battle back the forming Qiraji army to keep Silithus and Azeroth from being invaded by the ancient armies.

The Temple of Ahn’Qiraj: a new 40man raid, Take the fight straight to the Ahn’Qiraj commanders deep within the world itself. Intense pre-nerf encounters. Leading up to a never before seen or completed Pre-nerf C’thun. Does your guild have what it takes to defeat this Old God?

With that being said, there will also be a host of new quests, tier item overhauls, new profession recipes, and much more.
 
Important items to note:

• New repeatable quests in Silithus
• Improved Zul’Gurub quests
• Timbermaw Hold Quest chains
• Improved Warlock Soul Shard bags
• Fishing Pools are back
• Weapon Oils
• Nexus Crystals from High level Epic items

Please note that the requirements for the War Effort have been greatly increased due to the size of the population and to bring about a challenge worthy of Blizzard’s original War Effort. This will allow everyone to participate in the event.

We want to make this experience, one that you will remember forever, much like your original adventures in the World of Warcraft.

The staff here at Elysium wishes you the best of luck, as you journey through new challenges, go on epic new adventures and make memories that will last a life time.

Oh yes.

[Severyn 7]

Great news. Pre nerf and increased war effort sounds amazing. Will be interesting how long it will take for guilds to finish the war effort and clear AQ. 

[Crysthal 3]

Awesome! 

Thank you for those great news! :)

Which ZG quests exactly? If you mean the enchants they should be updated in 1.11, I'm fairly sure.

[Ickus 40]

Don't pull a feenix and screw this up. Take the mistakes of previous projects and learn. Don't be dumb and make 1 million linen cloth ect. Make it reasonable and don't be idiots.

This actually made me laugh. You're a complete tool. I said don't kill the server like feenix. I'm extremely happy and you're an extreme tool of a human.

[Ickus 40]

Weren't you an ex gm too? The one that everyone on Nost pve used to complain about for just doing a horrible job?

[Slicy 11]

Thanks for answer. I'm sure the return of the cow will be appreciated.

Please also inform players beforehand about these "details" :

- Tier items overhaul have been mentioned. What about Grand Marshal / High Warlord items update ? Will be live and available for purchase on Sunday for players with a rank above 6 ? It was planned as such long ago, to make pvp and pve gear on the same level of "power" I believe, which is something blizzard kept on failing even in TBC.

- Manual of Eviscerate IX, Ferocious Bite V and Tablet of Flame Shock VI will be able to drop ? Same for Shadow and Frost Ward new ranks ?

- What is up with PTR guild "selection" ?

- What hour more or less for the patch actually going live ? It does matter a lot for non European guilds to organize themselves I believe.

- What kind of scaling ("greatly increased due to the size of the population") are we talking about here ? There are a lot of concerns about this for well known reasons (good chunk of players base already traumatized by 6 months war effort that is nothing but close to retail and 150 Scepters collecting shifting sand dust in inventories).

- Any plans to setup a coolios War Effort real time status update on website concerning materials to turn in ? Even just a simple % for each faction and a % for combined.

- Gear from Badges quests will be available starting Sunday like on other private severs or only once the gates open like on retail ?
