        One of my favorite WoW moments was the opening of the gates of
        An'Quiraj. Three massive colossi appeared and had to be taken down in
        a one-time event. Three or four raid groups of 40 players each worked
        together to bring them down which took several hours to complete. It
        was very epic in scope, unlike normal raiding in WoW.
