Your eyes do not decieve you, this is Georgepatton and I'm creating an event on the Downfall forums.

The Massive Serenity/Downfall Raid on Orgrimmar will be held on Thursday March 5, 2009 at 6:30 PM server time.

Grasen and myself will be hosting a massive raid on Orgrimmar where we plan to envlope the entire city and shut down all important functions like the auction house, bank, troll mage portal building, flight master tower, and battlegrounds signup building.  

This will be a peak raiding time for the Horde where many will be preparing for raids or random WoW activities.  

We plan to do another raid in the future which will involve hitting every auction house at once as to totally deny Horde access to their auction houses.  First though, we seek to practice totally control Orgrimmar, with multiple groups controlling important choke points and NPC areas.

The Plan: Enter from the side entrance, first occupy the 'troll mage portal building,' where all Horde porting from Dalaran and mage portals port into.  Leave 15 alliance there to hold the portal (15 is necessary).  Then we will split up, with half of our forces hitting the flight tower and half heading to the front entrance.  From there the flight tower group leaves 15 people to guard the flight tower and ridge overlooking the trade district, where they can see Horde movements and block the main route from the cliff down into the trade district.  The rest go down the tower and destroy the auctioneers, while part of the raid that went to the entrance hit the bank.  The trade district will be hit from both sides this way.  The rest of the raid at the front of Orgrimmar will go outside and kill the duelers, then move back inside and head to the battlemaster area.  Between 30-35 people at least are needed to handle the battlemaster area appropriately; dealing with the battlemasters and Horde at the same time.

At this point everything in Orgrimmar that is important is now locked down.  We will have a roaving band to deal with compromised positions if need be.  The entire city is now unusable for what cities need to be used for, entrances are locked down (front, flight master, mage portal tower) and city functions are destroyed (auctions, bank, battlemaster, mailboxes).

There WILL be downtime at the begining.  But once we repeatedly destroy auctions and banks Horde WILL start filtering in.  Imagine you are doing your dailies and hear Ironforge is under attack.  You go 'ok whatever they are killing the city boss.'  But if they are still there after 15 minutes and everything in Ironforge is dead, if you're pvp inclined you can't not miss the fight.  And in our experience it always happens that way where you have to wait a little bit.

Meeting place: Darnassus.  Do not leave Darnassus or go anywhere near Orgrimmar.  This is for surprise reasons.  The point is to take the city and kill Horde as they filter into the city, not let them prepare a defense before we get there.

PST me in game or send an in game mail if you have any questions.  This should be a lot of fun!``
