Another good memory from Classic days is the halloween event of 2001 on Rallos.
You had people pvping over event mobs in WC (sky turned purple and it spawned werewolves) and other zones. I did a who in EK and there was 205 players there.
There was an undead dragon in rathe mountains with an AOE that one shot me at lvl12 and people were dragging that dragon to the zone line, i had never seen such a huge amount of dead bodies on a floor before.
When that was all done, i had 8 or 9 pieces of no drop gear, i had lost 4 levels from dying to red mobs but i was ready to tackle the rallos twinks with my new gear!
Those 3 days are still the benchmark to me of what fun times can be in a MMO. The only thing that came close to this as a MMO experience is winning a fight 70 vs 120 in eve online during the Providence wars.
I still think this is the kind of events that should be created here on red. Marathons are cool and shit but nothing like spawning event mobs somewhere and letting players duke it out.
