The “Darkmoon Faire,” a classic week-long event in World of Warcraft, started yesterday with daily quests to do, exotic vendors to visit, mini-games to play and a level 103 world boss to kill. That might be tough with the current level cap of 90, but it’s not impossible. All you need is a lot of people.
Moonfang being a level 103 boss is not a bug, just a weird coincidence. Warlords of Draenor comes out next Thursday, with the level cap raised from 90 to 100, but as usual, Blizzard already updated a ton of things in patch 6.0.2 and it looks like the Darkmoon Faire was part of that update as well.
Large-scale world events are the best in WoW (or in any MMO) so definitely check this out while you can, take nonsense screenshots like the one below (I love how you can tell it’s a long fight because someone’s selling repairs there) and try not to crash the server.

lol someone got banned on our server for organising 400 people to attack Orgrimmar. he crashed the world lol.
They will ban you for that?
People used to attack orgrimmar all the time back when i played.
Does not seem right to me either, especially since the city servers are designed to handle many 100s of players.
It depends. A single attack is fine. There was one time things were so bad on my server they started handing out temp bans. Orgrimmar had 5k+ latency for nearly everyone, most would just outright crash. It was a great day.
A single 40 man raid For The Alliance is fine I am sure.. 10, 40 man raids doing it at once may be problematic or something` lol.
Depends entirely on what you’re trying to do. Off to siege cities, fine. If there’s even a hint of purposely trying to crash the sever (400 people is quite extreme), then yeah.
With 400 people you’re getting the job dooooooonnnnne. Overkill, but instagibbing faction leaders is to some degree, satisfying. Also, upvote for username 🙂
Haha why thank you. Coincidentally it was through WoW that I came up with the name haha. Good old spamming /1 or /3 in BC days.
This pooch was pretty brutal at its 90 version, no surprise with needing a zerg for the WoD version
We just killed it with less than 10 people present. . . . Maybe a whole server of level 10s is required? Or this article is just making stuff up to get clicks.
