Death Of The Lich King, World First Kill of Arthas Reported

A U.S. guild has reported the world first kill of Arthas Menethil, otherwise known as the Lich King of World of Warcraft's latest expansion.

The last wing of the final raid encounter of Wrath of The Lich King opened up only yesterday for World of Warcraft players. One day was all it took for the world's top guilds to rip through the content and kill the Lich King on the easiest level, normal 10-man. The trophy for world first kill goes to Ensidia [http://www.bloodlegion.com/wow/] (Tarren Mill - EU), routinely gets world first kills such as the bosses of Ulduar in WoW patch 3.2, Algalon and Yogg-Saron. Blood Legion beat Ensidia this time, however, by six hours. U.S.A! U.S.A!

Now that the content of the third expansion for the massively popular MMOG is winding down, attention will now shift to what's in store for Cataclysm. The redesign of Azeroth will hopefully push the boundaries of what a perpetual world can accomplish with a worldwide event. Plus, introducing two new races will bump up subscription numbers surely, and players have been asking to play as goblins for a long time.

I know that I can't wait to get my hands on a Worgen. And no, that's not a furry joke.

Has anyone else noticed a typo in this post? If not I'll set it down.

Wrath of the Lich King is the SECOND expansion to World of Warcraft, the third will be Cataclysm.

Sorry just felt like pointing that out...

No one cares about 10 man, and Ensidia doesn't even raid using the 10 man version, so the comment about them being beaten makes no sense.

Poor Funk, I thought he did everything World of Warcraft related. I thought he would have jumped on something as big as this.

 

[God's Clown]

World first Normal kill isn't very special, I will consider it a win for the USA if we get world first Heroic.

 

[Flying-Emu]

For the fuckin' Horde.

 

[mattttherman3]

Maybe it's because I don't play WoW but why does it matter who killed him first? It's just like who cares who has the first post on ZP? Honestly someone tell me

We all remember the 7th guy on the moon right?

Being first is impressive. It's remembered. It's not "been there done, done that."

Theres been people on the moon?! When the hell did this happen, you lie!

I'm sad now. Arthas was my favorite out of everything WC had.

Hahaha same, he was interesting.

 

[Fappy]

Wow beat that fast? GG Blizzard. Your game is hard and everyone who kills your bosses are pro.

 

[Squeaksx]

So he's dead now. Well I suppose that means Blizzard will have to shut WoW down now. I would love them to do that.

that would be one hell of an april fools joke.

I doubt that, but it would be fun to have the game shut down for a couple hours after that saying that the game has been "beaten" and it is over.

So he's dead now. Well I suppose that means Blizzard will have to shut WoW down now. I would love them to do that.

Don't worry your pretty little heads, WoW fans! There's always PvP!

Unless there's a mission where you protect an encampment of diplomats while they sign a peace treaty between Alliance and Horde. THEN it's over.

 

[GiantRedButton]

Remember that the eu gets their bosses 24 houers later. If a boss only takes 28 hours to kill thats a huge disadvantage.

 

[katsabas]

He's dead, time to get a life!
'sarcasm'

 

[Woem]

HAHAHA.

Sucks to be the king.

Simba is highly dissapointed now

 

[Darktau]

Ensida got Normal - 25 man first , just checked the link to their webby.

 

[Sir Mate]

I'm sad now. Arthas was my favorite out of everything WC had.

dont worry, he will respawn in like 2 hours.

 

[MurderousToaster]

I wonder what phat lewts they got off of him.

I want phat lewts.

 

[Blazingdragoon04]

I wonder what the order of Final bosses will be now, since they seem fit to kill one off at the end of each expansion they wheel out these days, and sometimes just for the Lol's.

Spoilers ahead I suppose...









So they've killed Onyxia, Nefarian, some of the Old Gods, Illidan, Kael Thas Sunstrider, Lady Vashj, Kel Thuzad (twice), Anub'Arak (twice), and now finally the Lich King himself. Now, I don't follow Warcraft lore to a tee, but from ANY perspective, after killing off just about every major villian in the series you have to wonder how many they have left? I mean, the only ones I can think of off the top of my head are now Deathwing, definitely in the new expansion, Kil'Jaeden, since you fight him during the game as well, and maybe Azshara, but who knows how powerful she was really since all she had control over was some weak naga. After that, Blizzard might have to resort to pulling villains out of their ass.

Or they could go hardcore and go the Tabula Rasa route and just have the two factions fight each other to the death/total annihilation. Then maybe we might get some original IP out of Blizzard
