Well we still have Deathwing (Aka Neltharion), Queen Azshara and mother-loving-Sargeras. There's a fair few Old Gods still kicking around as well.

And they can just go make up new enemies.

Unexpected. I suppose if we've got a news article on it then it must be a legit kill.

Still, the hard-modes and different progression levels leave people attempting different things. We may see Blood Legion win easy-mode 10 man, but there's still hard-mode 10 and easy/hard-mode 25 man I assume.

Grats to the US though, this has to be your first world-first in...half a dozen raid dungeons now? ;)

Sadly though this was done by a Horde guild yet again . I'm tempted to go into a massive rant here, but I won't.

Still, I believe a lot of the world-first kills have been tainted by accusations of cheating and exploits and such, although I don't keep up with it heavily. It remains to be seen what will be said about this one, if at all.

I think back to what some of the Asian guilds have done, where the mentality is differant and "cheating" is seen as part of the game. I vaguely remember a big thing where some Japanese guild cleared Naxx when it first launched in it's pre-Liche king form, and there were screenshots of people wearing a metric ton of Naxx gear, far more of it than could have dropped in a single run through of the dungeon. Leading to questions about duping, server hacking, and similar things. If I remember the story correctly they allegedly had one of the Japanese GMs in their guild and helping them do it, and apparently spawning items or something.

Well, can't say I'm really surprised that a guild already downed him.

We all know this is just going to bring more QQ from those 'hardcore' guilds that aren't really going to be that hardcore anymore.

Hahahaha, easy expansion or easiest expansion?

Only time will tell.

Congratulations, even Blizzard's artificial barriers can't stop people from getting new content down a day after it's released...

Each day in Northrend since 2008 we have been weakening the Lich King's forces; and since he is directly linked to his servants - We have been weakening him aswell.

We've been at his gates killing all his men - We've killed all of his lieutenants and stabbed his very heart.

I'm surprised he didn't commit suicide out of pure pain.

Also to all the people saying the player characters are 'average adventurers' the whole point of a game like this is that you start off as an 'average adventurer' and then become a hero and a legend at max level; An 'average adventurer' at level 80 is a town guard.

Obligatory "WUT HE DROP?"

I think Arthas should have been Hard-Mode Only. Im a casual even, and hearing the LK, the big baddie, the biggest threat, has been killed about 4 days after release, makes me sad to a point of loathing.

When were the player events in World of Warcraft canon, again?

Good job nerds. I wonder what items he dropped...
"Nerds"? Aren't you the guy that just made a racist thread? Now is not the time to be making more enemies m'boy.

OT:
GOod job to them, but I have to laugh that they didn't get any epix lewtz.

Speaking of added classes I'll start playing when Murlocs become a class

Well you won't have to wait long if they're adding a token werewolf with absolutely no canon significance and a support side race to the ever-expanding official list of playable races.

NOT looking forward to the new content.
I'm not a devoted WoWee (though the trial was quite addicting), so I don't have that much personal experiences with all the patching and expansions done, but the latest one just seems...underwhelming.

I don't know about you, but throwing in another 2 races, upping the obligatory level cap, and geographically ripping Azeroth a new one, don't seem all that innovative.

Legion beat Ensidia this time, however, by six hours. U.S.A! U.S.A!
It only proves the difficultly of this game has dropped severely.

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."
There's a difference between going to the moon and killing a mob in a video game. Can you tell me who the first guild to kill onyxia was? If so.... you're fired from life.

Yay US killed...a guy in a...video game...

great *lackluster sigh*
Hey man! Arthas is like the Hussein of WoW! Except, less real. Well okay, not real at all, but way more bad, if you view the real world by staring at a monitor >_> damnit

Actually I'd gamble not many WoW players even know "what a Hussein is", since he's a real person n' all *snicker*

*chuckles* just saying, that killing a guy in video game is worth cheering and yelling? It's just a bit silly to me

Wait, does that mean no one else can kill Arthas?

I've never played wow, so I'm just guessing there is a long delay between respawn, or does he stay perma dead?

It holds my interests.
They listed it on their website, they got Glorenzelg (2h DPS blade) and Fal'inrush (Crossbow).

Prolly worth noting that they have been banned for 3 days for using the "Saronite Bomb exploit". I only put it in quotes due to it being up for debate amongst the fanbois/girls about whether or not it was, truly, an exploit. They lost their loot, achievements and the right to brag...for now.

No, it's just a bragging-rights deal. Raids, in WoW, reset every week (in the US, it's on Tuesdays), so the mobs within them (if killed) will be reset during maintenance.

What? No report on the item drops? What did Arthas just say "screw you" to them with no items?
I was thinking the same thing. Surely he would have to have had some sort of awesome loot for being such an epic badass? I suppose we will never know for sure.

How hard was the fight, I wonder? Or were they disappointed with its difficulty?
The video was bloody disappointing, it just looked like Malchazaar with a few adds. Very disappointed. I'm glad I quit.

Sucks to be the king.
Simba is highly dissapointed now :(

So? Simba can't even talk to me.

But in serious doubt. Who will be the bad guy now?
I hope it's this guy. I just want to see everyone die!
No way can you kill Sargeras.

I can´t do anything but laugh at that.
Silly silly glitch exploiters.
