World of Warcraft: Fall of the Lich King Trailer

Trailer for a patch. Now I've seen it all.
Excuse me good sir, have you ever seen a man eat his own head?
No.
Then you have not seen everything.
Touche.
 
...Sorry, split personalities.

...
 
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.

Yawn.. YAWN... and finally; zZzZzZzZzZz.
 
World of Whorecraft.

Didn't this come out a year ago? Also, the logo at the end of the trailer looks like "FAIL of the Lich King"

Aw man, I wish I had gear good enough for this. it looks awesome, but there's no way im gonna spend a hundred hours grinding in the lower level raids to prepare for this. ooooh weeell.

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.

LET THEM COME
 
one of the finest references to the LOTR movies since the first time this game came out.  CLICK ON STUFF
I GOT HOTTT DEALS ON GOLD AND ALSO RINGTONES

" 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. "

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.

Proof that just because a lot of people are doing something doesn't make it good ^_^ "

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'm Tank still looking for DPS,  Heals, and Range then G2G. 2 Bars 'till DING!

Hells yeah, awesome trailer as always. But I won't start playing again before cataclysm.

There's a thread for I'm-too-cool-for-WoW just devoted to a patch?  Man, only WoW.  Too bad the actual comments are so 2004.

Well they dropped me a free 7 day pass, so I guess I'll cash it in and reactivate for a taste of 3.3. I'm more interested in the cross realm instance stuff, seems like it will make pugging a little easier even if it's not more tolerable.

" For a second it almost looks like it says: "Fail of the Lich King". "

For a second it almost looks like it says: "Fail of the Lich King".

Fun Fact: Arthas IS dead, The Lich King isn't. 
And there will always be a Lich King, so he might return sometime, somewhere.

Cool trailer, but there is no way in hell I am going back to that game.

" Sure the games still a behemoth, but it's finally peaked. "

" Wow, how many years later, Arthas is finally going to possibly die. "

blizzard can pull of some amazing graphical feats with a 5 year old game.

So... killing Arthas would end the overarching plot they've been using since WC3, right? I guess this is why Cataclysm is coming out soon?
 
Whatever. I have absolutely zero desire to get back into WoW at this point. I've done my time.

People bringing up the 12million players are abit out of date, the last update was over a year ago and since China has shutdown their servers the numbers have dropped alot. WoW is losing subscribers as they are making the game too casual friendly and recycling content. 
 
Sure the games still a behemoth, but it's finally peaked.
 
Also EVE, Aion and several other MMOs have had trailers for patches aswell, this isn't a new concept.

Read it as Fail of the lich king XD

Only Blizzard can release a trailer for a patch.

" @crusader8463: yeah, it's pretty small though.  Only 12 million players. "

"Frostmourne Hungers"
 
That line sent chills down my spine.

Eh... I didn't find myself jumping in my seat in anticipation with this particular trailer, like I have with others in the past. But none the less, the new Fall of the Lich King stuff is pretty neat, despite the immature community complaining about there being, shockingly, errors during the patching process.
 
The MMO hardly ruined the lore of the game. It's all there if you take the time to read and do things patiently instead of mindlessly following add-ons to the top. As for raids, they've made them a lot more accessible so that their lore and hard work can be seen by more. However, it's an MMO, and because of that it's a time requirement to do that type of thing. Videos exist if you can't do it. *shrug*

You can't say Blizzard don't know how to make great trailers.

If only the game played like this trailer looks, WoW might still be a game I'd be interested in playing. But can all this content be done with just 1 or 2 other players? Probably not.

I'll probably be playing some of this during the holidays. Really well done trailer.

just to let you guys know who are sad about WoW ruining warcraft lore, stuff that happens in WoW is not nessiciarly cannon to the RTS series, for example if they released WC4 it would likely continue off of Frozen Throne, not WoW and tell the story as it should be told. 
 
not that WoW is bad though, i still think it's kinda fun (dont play it though) but i just don't think it's the best means to tell the warcraft story.

wow always does em for big patches

I'm with you warcraft fans that hate WoW - I can't believe they're finishing in the Arthras story arc as part of this stupid mmo.
 
I don't even know how they can do a Warcraft 4 now the way they've laid waste to the lore and universe.

" is this a trailer for a patch?  Weird. "

" @Delta_Ass: How can you complain about the graphics? It's a 2004 game, they can't just change what the game's graphics look like just like that. "
