WoW Patch 3.3 "Fall of the Lich King" Goes Live

[Cowabungaa]

Patch downloaded and installed. Class till 6:30pm. Servers,if history is to be repeated, will be up around 8pm for me.

I cannot wait.

/giggle

If my memory serves me well (and it's been almost a year ago since I've last played WoW), do not attempt to raid on patch day. Rage guaranteed if you do.

God damn you, Blizzard. You are trying to convert me... And you might succeed, seeing how all MMOs I've played since... Guild Wars crashed and burned my hopes into the ground. City of Heroes/Villains was decent for 2-3 months, Ragnarok Online is awesome, but I played it before. Aion is ugly now, Champions Online is boring and buggy, WAR crashed after 3 months for me.

WoW was boring... but maybe I was being prejudiced. I mean, I lasted till level 10, after 3 hours, that's less than the Aion haters did.

oooooh, purdy. wish they had made a trailer as good as the Sunwell Plateau one.

*secretly having a WoW loregasm*

 

[Jim Grim]

Soooo...has Arthus been sitting there this whole time? I mean thats the ending to the Frozen Throne...but how do they play off his absence this whole time? I mean Saruman took a while to summon an army, but Arthus just summoned a dragon like its no big deal...

Does the WoW universe start you off before Warcraft 3?

Oh, he was asleep.

Yeah...

Anyway it's gonna be great to finally see an end to the Warcraft 3 storyline. I'll probably follow this closely.

 

[Eldarion]

I am 80 but nowhere near geared enough to raid yet, dammit!!!

he actually hasnt been sitting there farting around all along. during certain quest-chains, he and his awesome voice actor would appear and be awesome, or kill someone off, etc.

oh, and about the dragon... theres a bigger one in Naxxramas.

 

[stonethered]

Damnit! They couldn't have waited a month?

shucks,
All I want for Christmas is a 60-day game time card.

I need to download this patch when I get home.I can't wait to get Shadowmourne as a weapon. But, I also don't believe Blizzard would let the Lich King die so easily to a group of 10/25 raiders.

FROSTmourne

Frostmourne is the Lich King's weapon.

Shadowmourne is the legendary axe that players will be able to get. A sort of fragment of Frostmourne's power.

Aw here goes! Happy hunting

Doubt though you'll really get to 'beat' him beat him right? Then again, I never really thought they'd really let you kill Illidan either, so who knows.

Well, villains rarely survive encounters with the players, and one way or another he's out of the picture by the time Cataclysm rolls around, so...

I have no doubt that the final fight will have you fighting alongside Jaina/Varian/Sylvanas/Garrosh/Tirion/Darion, though. So it's not like it's just the PCs.

Placing my bet on Jaina and Muradin for the Alliance, Sylvanas and Saurfang Senior for the Horde with Tirion/Darion being there for both factions.

Besides Sylvanas and Saurfang, none of the other major Horde characters have a massive beef with Arthas. At least, not to the extent of Sylvanas or Jaina.

Isn't Muradin dead? Arthas killed him in WC3.

Must...resist...subscribing...again...

Let's just say...he got better.

That was why I wrote OMG SPOILERS.

You need to play through the Frostborn questline in Storm Peaks (Alliance only afaik).
