Speaking of added classesraces I'll start playing when Murlocs become a classrace.

Yes, let us have a race that nobody can understand or want to be around. On the other hand, they would make the Forsaken more sexually appealing.
Better to make murlocs as hunter pets. Would give more reason to fish and have the added skill of {Scare the crud out of any mob: 2 min cooldown}.

What? No report on the item drops? What did Arthas just say "screw you" to them with no items?
Well Frostmourne turned out to be only for Level Excellent and was a BoP and the armor turned out to be the same as what other Death Knights start out with. Apparently there was a +3 Hankie(+1-5 Frost Dmg) that Kel'thuzad gave Arthas when he realized that he would no longer be able to "get the hawt on." Someone tried to sell that on the Auction House, and only got a copper bid (apparently frozen snot doesn't make for a good marketing point).

I'm sad now. Arthas was my favorite out of everything WC had.
Same here. He and Hellscream were my all time favorite Warcraft characters.

Now there both dead. I'm sad now.
There, there. Everyone's loveable and huggable Deathwing is coming back!
Want a +3 Hankie(+1-5 Frost Dmg)? Yours, free!
(Actually Thrall is my favorite, but sitting on that throne in Orgrimmar has diminished him. Like the chain from his youth got put back on him.)
Great, now I need a Hankie. Give that back!

Wow beat that fast? GG Blizzard. Your game is hard and everyone who kills your bosses are pro.
They have only killed him on the easy, 10-man mode. There is still 10-man hard, 25-man easy, 25-man hard ánd the "holy shit can this ever be done?!" achievements. Difficulty in WoW is a choice now, and that's very very very very good. No longer is the difficulty decided by the lowest or highest denominator and everyone can play the game like he or she wants to play it.

Also, congrats on the kill.

Hurry to report news without checking fails you.

The kill mentioned above is for 10man Normal mode. Combined with Blizzard's design to make teh game acessible to all players that shouldn't come as surprise. The real chalage and completetion of the expansion comes with killing Arthas on 25man Hard mode. Considering hard modes unlock next week and anywan willing to have a shot at the lich king must furst master the 3 wing bosses first should gives a few more weeks before anyone claiming "the game is beaten".

Yeah. US get their patches tuesday, EU get their patches wednesday. If Ensidia downed Arthas 6 hours after Blood Legion, then technically Ensidia still got a world first, though it depends on your definition of 'first'.

OT: Well, the one thing Blizzard has feared has come to reality. There main baddy is killable. I kinda wanna see what they plan to add to the game now that Arthas and the Scourge can be defeated and after Cataclysm of course.
I haven't even watched any of the Cataclysm trailers yet, but now that Arthas is pushing up daisies my money's on Neltharion (aka Deathwing) as the next expansion pack boss, which would be pretty sweet.
Cataclysm will no doubt bring some new dungeons in there, but the whole purpose of it is to revamp the original lands. No trees in Ashenvale, Lava in the barrens etc etc. Just to make the first 58 levels more interesting.
Let me guess... along with re-vamping the vanilla WoW they're going to introduce flying mounts to that section of the game...? If so, the game will effectively become unplayable for new subscribers because all the high-level folks will be mining the crap out of the rare ores, herbs etc.

He's Arthas. I can't think of a bigger "fuck you" than to fall off your long held throne to some meddlesome adventurers, and not give them any loot.
To be fair, they're not just 'some meddlesome adventurers'. Canonically, they're a group of adventurers that have dealt with every major threat to appear in the past few years.

You realise that they only beat it on the easiest of 4 difficulties, right?

Too bad they used an exploit to make the fight easier.

For any who are interested jump towards the end of this thread: http://www.mmo-champion.com/news-2/lich-king-world-first-kill-by-ensidia/465/

Damn, I was hoping that an Aussie guild would win the race.

Not out of national pride or anything, but a video released yonks ago had a live-action play of Arthas and... two other people I don't really know or care about.

The whole thing comes to a head when they are attacked by a raid, wondering what nationality the raidwrs could possibly be, one raider yealls "CRIKEY! It's Arthas."

"THE AUSTRALIANS!"

Cue win for the raid.

'Twas funny

It took them this long to beat an enemy?
Unless you're just joking, yeah, some of the fights in WoW are pretty intense. Admittedly, the high-end raiding guilds are literally hundreds of times better than the lower end guilds. So, some of this content will take some time to beat for a great many, and some won't achieve it until after hitting 85 in the next expansion. Happens more often than you'd think.
I've never played WoW before, nor do I want to, but didn't this expansion come out almost a year ago and they're just now beating the main villain of it?

Seems kind of strange to me, but whatever.

Blizzard always kills off the "main baddy". They've done it in all the Warcraft and Starcraft games . . . initially. They also come up with a replacement right away. The same is true in this case. I've seen the cinematic for Arthas' defeat, and they have a loop hole in place to keep WoW going on indefinitely, kind of. I stopped appreciating the Warcraft storyline after Arthas defeated Illidan Stormrage at the end of Frozen Throne. They are always more interested in starting their next storyline than they are in finishing their current one.
