Scarab Lord Drama of Sulfuras

Those who have been keeping up with WoWhead’s Classic news posts are likely already aware of this microcosm of e-drama. For those who haven’t, feast your eyes upon the true Classic experience:

For some background, Sulfuras is one of the larger US PvP realms in World of Warcraft: Classic, and was one of the few realms to complete the Ahn’Qiraj War Effort in time to be able to ring the gong on the Tuesday after Phase 5 dropped. The majority of the War Effort contributions are reported to have come from the infamous Alliance guild <GRIZZLY FROM REDDIT> (to be known as GRIZZLY for brevity), originally from the PvP realm Stalagg. 

A highly contentious issue on PvP realms is ‘cross faction collusion’ where Horde and Alliance guilds group up to mutually ensure guilds that aren’t them are prevented from engaging in particular activities such as killing lucrative mobs or accessing a zone/raid.  The most difficult part of the Scarab Lord questchain is obtaining 42,000 silithid carapace fragments, which can only be obtained in Silithus, for a single player to turn in. Naturally, this resulted in coalitions forming on PvP realms to dictate who is allowed to farm for these.

On the realm Sulfuras, one such pairing was <GRIZZLY> and the Horde guild <Amnesty>. They are reported on reddit to have taken over Hive’Regal.

And then, while <Amnesty> was working on The Corruptor for the Scepter of the Shifting Sands, their designated Scarab Lord (Souffle) was hit with a ban.  A few different stories of what exactly is the reason for his ban went around, covered in this WoWhead post and its links, but the version of events that the majority subscribe to is that <GRIZZLY> mass-reported <Amnesty>’s Scarab Lord until an automated ban happened. For abusing the report system, a number of <GRIZZLY> members received suspensions that would expire during the Ten Hour War on Tuesday... including <GRIZZLY>’s own Scarab Lord.

And then, on Tuesday, shit hit the fan supreme.

Souffle of <Amnesty>’s suspension was repealed in time for them to happily ring the gong, and for the first few hours of the Ten Hour War everything went well. Then, when <GRIZZLY> was preparing to finish their own Scepter, several hundred Horde players set up shop outside the Caverns of Time to prevent anyone from interacting with Anachronos.

Because quests cannot be turned into Anachronos while he is in combat, and because the Scarab Lords can only be made during the Ten Hour War, the few servers that had completed their war effort in time to start the 10HW as soon as a Scepter was assembled with the second lockout of BWL after the patch were in a perfect storm where any sufficiently dedicated group could prevent any and all other would-be Scarab Lords on their realm from existing simply by locking up Anachronos with a several hour raid until the Ten Hour War ends.

In the end, the Horde were successful at denying <GRIZZLY> their Scarab Lord. And, unfortunately, several other would-be Scarab Lords who had nothing to do with <GRIZZLY>’s griefing and exploiting.

And this is all over a re-release of a 15+ year old video game.

Thunderfury/Sulfuras v1.00.  D&D 5e Magic Weapons

Before Battle for Azeroth drops in a few hours, and my orc shaman runs off to get on new adventurers, here is something Warcraft related!  Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker!  Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros!  Powerful magic items! (perhaps a little bit too powerful for just a D&D Legendary?  I wasn’t quite sure if I should make them D&D Artifacts, considering theoretically multiple could be made if you had enough powerful Air Elementals and Fire Elementals).

Both also fit in with those Molten Core stats I made before!  So please enjoy these weapons if your adventures ever take the player characters to Azeroth (or hey, Thunderfury has already crossed realities to Diablo 3.  No reason it can’t pop up somewhere else too!)

Lok’tar Ogar!
