First, a little context. The title of Scarab Lord as well as an original bug mount, are awarded to players who complete a lengthy quest chain as WoTLK Gold part of the AQ event in a set duration of time. The process of getting there involves a whole-server collaboration as players from both Horde players as well as Alliance players must donate an enormous amount of money to this "war effort" to allow the event to kick off. The first player who completes his quest and sound the Scarab Gong will actually bring the event to an end in a short period of time that will be marked by the launch to two raids.

It's then a competition for players to complete the quest before turning into it before the time is up. And that's all without mentioning the requirement that the quest practically requires a whole guild's worth of players to complete at numerous different stages, including a portion that requires players to collect 42.000 of one specific item by killing thousands and thousands of bugs. It's for all the reasons previously mentioned that very few players were able to claim the title when it first appeared in the vanilla version of WoW in 2006 and those who did went down in WoW history.

If WoW Classic's version AQ event rolled around on the horizon in 2019. players were prepared. They knew what items to get as well as what to do to complete the quest chain, and the obstacles needed to be overcome. In contrast to the original version of the event, in which players entered the event with no prior experience, and only a small number of players were able to claim the exclusive mount and title However, certain WoW Classic guilds wanted to see as many players claim the title as possible.

Barny64. an World of Warcraft rogue and just one of more than 12 people who advocated for the Scarab Lord within her guild alone. The result is a 4-part video series that explores every aspect of the story--the lore, the quests, tensions within the guild, servers politics Horde as well as Alliance cooperation--all. Two years is an incredibly lengthy time span, and more than a few people have been eagerly waiting to see what happens if Barny64 did, in fact achieve her dream of becoming a Scarab Lord. We won't spoil it here but the entire video series is definitely worth a watch to see the factors that make MMORPG games like the Gates of AQ in WoW Classic not just an cheap WoTLK Gold in-game event, but also a social experience that can bring about some twice, possibly thrice in a lifetime moments.
