The Gates of Ahn'Qiraj - Now Open for Business

For those who don't play World of Warcraft, let me break down the most recent patch and world event. With patch 1.9 "The Gates of Ahn'Qiraj", Blizzard implemented a virtual MMORPG equivalent of a scavenger hunt. Dubbed "The War Effort", players have to collect various items throughout the world using their trade skills. 3,850,000 items to be exact. Once the realm has collected all of the items, the Gates of Ahn'Qiraj can be opened leading to new dungeons, quests, etc. A laundry list of the items needed to open the gates can be found here. If you look at all the realms, you'll see that Durotan is currently ranked 49th. :(

Congratulations go to the Medivh realm for being first in the gate. GameSpot has put a video up of the event, which can be downloaded if you have a basic (free) membership.
