The original opening of the Gates of Ahn'Qiraj in World of Warcraft is often remembered as a legendary event, but it was actually a boring grind fest followed by a disappointing zone-wide battle.
Nostalgia and rose-tinted memories often reshape our perception of past events in MMO history.
The opening of the Gates of Ahn'Qiraj was characterized by poor performance and the raids it unlocked were inaccessible to many players.
Are there any other examples of 'legendary' MMO events that weren't as amazing as they are remembered today?
