On the official server, during the Great War that had originally erupted between the Dwarves and Dol Guldur but came to include all factions, I logged on to find that aidansebastian, then King of the Grey Mountains Dwarves, was about to siege Barad-dûr itself. I could not let this happen, and as I had not yet made it to Mordor, I mounted up, got my army, and headed to Framsburg to declare siege on Dáin's Halls, fortress of aidansebastian himself.

Now here's a quick bit of info. In that time, there was no waypoint for Dáin's Halls, and to reach it one needed to walk along a steep, winding road that led from Framsburg, with many cliffs on either side for about fifteen minutes. While the good players simply fast-traveled right to Dáin's Halls through custom waypoints, the evil side had to march. I stood atop a rock in Framsburg, watching as a sea of Olog-hai, warg riders, and Uruk-hai grew all around. Once we had gathered a considerable force, we marched. Had there not been a road, we would easily have won.

However, the road was our downfall. Two players had to go and logged off during the trip. The one person who made it on time was shot and killed. 90% of troops fell off the cliffs at one point, and I could not see through an Olog-hai and fell with one, to my death. And when we finally got there, the remaining players decided to charge in waves, which ultimately scattered them.
