Actually thats not proof of that at all.  What it is closer to actually proving, is that things aren't bad just because YOU think they are.  When it comes to entertainment, if a lot of people are watching the movie/playing the game/reading the book/listening to the music, chances are it IS good, regardless of if you like it or not.  Also, owned.

Using your logic wouldn't the 6 billion people not playing it as apposed to the 12 million playing it prove that it is in fact bad?

I demand WarCraft 4, FUCK World of Warcraft. That game ruined the lore I loved during my childhood while playing through WarCraft I, II and eventually even WarCraft III.

Still though, it's good to see Arthas meeting his end. Even though I find it insulting that it's by the hand of 25 unknown entities and 100.000 times a week. Bastard deserves it after betraying Muradin.

I'll use this guys logic since that proves that Twilight is infact shit. Wow on the other hand I dont really care, if 12million are playing it, good for them that they enjoy it, I for one don't care for it so much.

Wow. What a bunch of idiots. Anyway, looks cool, just don't have the time for MMOs right now. Well, maybe when The Old Republic comes out.

btw is it official that arthus will die? It seems silly to kill of the main guy from Warcraft 3. Just sayin, i would assume he would go to a coma or hiberation........... dude is too legit to die.

Yeah, he's definitely gone. I mean that's sorta been the whole point of this expansion pack, to close this chapter that's been lingering since WC3. They want to move on and have story threads that are defined within WoW itself and not be constantly looking back.

Actually come to think of it, Arthas is but a vessel. Somewhere I hope that Tirion Fordring could use the Ashbringer to cleanse the corruption of the Lich King and destroy his armor/sword to 'save' Arthas. Then have some sort of jury bring Arthas to justice in a Trial instead of 25 random dudes on the internet.

Yep Warcraft is well and truly dead to me now. 3 years ago I would have been all 'fuck yeah!' at the idea of fighting Arthas but now, with the game so overrun with morons and built entirely around perpetuating addiction to said morons their is well and truly nothing it offers anymore.

Trying to get groups together has always been a hassle, why would you mourn that? This system gives lower population realms a larger pool of players to do dungeons with, and accelerates the process so you spend less time dicking around in trade chat and more time actually playing the game.
 
The only danger this really presents is that you're less likely to meet people on your own realm, but the system will still match you up with realm-mates provided they're in LFG, so it's not such a big deal there either.

Arthas should not be killable. In fact, he should be impossible to kill. Because 25 guys shouldn't be able to solo him. The guy is considered 'weakened' in Warcraft 3: TFT, and still kicks ass. If he's at full power, 25 guys shouldn't stand a chance against him or his army of the dead.

Saw my buddies raiding IC last night.  Looks alright, but they downed three bosses in less than two hours.  Kind of a joke.  Waiting to see the Arthas fight.  Personally, I think it's bullshit that you can attain Frostmourne and not have any negative repercussions for doing so.

Blizzard has never ruined Warcraft Lore.  It's their own universe (although copied in most aspects.. heh) and they can do what they want with it.

Man wow haters annoy me... i dont play, but its an amazing game... only thing i have against it, is the lore killing, is ur statement about not counting as part of their story but just an interaction to it real? did they say that? or are you just presuming?

Warcraft has an epic storyline. You could easily make a trilogy of films about it.

The story of Warcraft was better served when it was a RTS it's hard to care about it in WOW when it's all through text boxes.

My wife loves WoW so I shall play again when she does.  Luckily we're not heavy raiders and now that we have a 1 year old I think I can safely say I shall never again see raid content and worry about "Uber Loot." :)

The haters are out in force, I see.  Myself, i'm a firm believer that if a game entertains a bunch of people then good for those people and good for the developers responsible. 
 
That's also one hell of a trailer.  I expect a lot of companies wish they had some of that editing talent on hand when it came time to make their own game's trailer.

Alright, I'm kinda tired of seeing some of you bitching about wow, without knowing what you're talking about
 
@SuperSecretAgenda:  As I said before, Arthas is dead already. Players in WoW "stabbed" his heart in a special and somewhat epic questline. It is only The Lich King that inhabits the body of Arthas, and there will always be a Lich King, so he might return again. And yes, he might be easy to kill on normal-mode but now that they invented the hard-mode system I doubt that many are gonna kill him the first 2-3 weeks, since its hard, really hard.
He is considered weakened in WC3:TFT because Illidan was trying to destroy The Frozen Throne. When Arthas stopped Illidan in doing that and became The Lich King he reclaimed his power.

@jakob187: It was probably easy because it was normal mode. They made normal mode so everyone could see and experience the instance. You can go hard-mode if you want a challenge. And, you can't get Frostmourne, but something similair: Shadowmourne.

I really enjoy the fiction of Warcraft, its definitely found a nice little place in my heart. WoW was something I put huge chunks of time in like millions of other people, but like what has been mentioned, the player base really detracts me from continuing to play it. I would love to play with people that appreciate the game as I do, but the MMO crowd kinda scares me sometimes. Now its just single player games for me. Cool trailer though, almost makes me want to go back... almost.

Could not be more wrong.  Millions of tickets in sale for movies like Transformers 2 and G. I. Joe does not automatically mean they are good entertainment, but it is rather likely that people have bad taste.  Should've quit while you're ahead.
