the next WoW expansion

lol Arthas is a small boss?
He's the main character in the series.
Sargeras will be the final boss in the next expansion. My guess is to prevent the legion from entering the emerald dream. And Blizzard could theoretically create a whole new lore with The Emerald Dream considering it's just an untouched azeroth. Which makes me believe it could be the setting for WoW 2 and not planned for an expansion at all.

 

There is no one main character.

It's multiple threats and heroes.

 

I do believe that Frozen Throne was entirely about Arthas' corruption? My bad...

 

TFT was about a few things methinks.

Although the Outland/Northrend cluster**** was the main idea.

 

Sure you have the whole thing about the sunwell, and then the stuff with with Illidan.
But other than that, it's pretty much an Arthas game.

 

Yeah, what happened to Warcraft: Orcs and Humans ?!
Orcs got some stupid map where the main character wasn't even an orc. The thing wasn't that bad, but no way this should be substitute for a real campaign!
Humans got a nice campaign, only that you didn't play humans either >.>

Damn these undead, why do they have to butt in everywhere?!

 

erm people, i dont want to call you dumb or sumthin, but concider this information for a sec:
Illidan was offered the position of archimonde, if he killed arthas
this simple equation shows how important arthas, and how strong illidan is...

 

Illidan was feared by even Malfurion...the most powerful of all night elves.
But he was defeated by Arthas...meaning that he is in turn more badass than Illidan.

 

I can only assume you're talking to me when you're saying that, so.... Where was it I said he was a small boss? He's not the main attraction of Wrath of the Lich King. No-one's going to buy it and say 'yay, now I can beat Arthas', they're going to buy it and say something along the lines of 'yay, now my character can progress and I'll be able to experience all the new abilities and end-game content of Wrath', though hopefully in a bit more of a casual sorta way. No-one's going to buy Wrath so that they can directly kill Arthas, just as no-one bought World or WarCraft to kill Onyxia and as no-one bought the Burning Crusade to kill Illidan.

As for stopping the Burning Legion entering the Emerald Dream, it seems to me the best, and most logical, way to do what would be to stop them from within the Emerald Dream. It's not as though the Horde and Alliance would say 'hmm, the Burning Legion is trying to corrupt the Emerald Dream, we better wipe out the ultimate leader'. That's just senseless, especially seeing as Kil'Jaeden hasn't even been killed yet.

 

No ITzahexgor he was talking to me. Arthas is a small boss but i'm pissed off a blizzard cause they have the lore so badly ****ed up right now its not even funny. We fight Kil'jaiden before Arthas??? WHAT TYPE OF BULL PIE is that ?!?!?!?! Kil'jaiden is not only leading the legion is sargares minor leave but he is the one who basicly created the Lich king... How in the hell do we fight him before Arthas is truly beyond me in every way possible. The only thing i could gather from the sunwell patch is that Kil'jaiden was not at full power trying to enter thought the sunwell and was atleas 30-50% weaker then normal. He is the right hand man the Real lord of the burning legion and should really and truly be the second to last boss in the Hole game, unless the other titans go bad then the line of boss is going to get seriouslyy hard... Blizzard is messing up W.O.W. thats why i'm praying for a D3 SOOO badly.

 

KIl'jaden doesn't die in the sunwell battle he just gets sent back through the portal...

 

Okay your post literally pissed me off...Idk if that's healthy, whatever.
Yes people did buy TBC to kill Ilidan, and YES people will buy WoTLK to kill Arthas...It's call PvE and WoW has the largest obsession with PvE in the world.
Do you even play WoW? I'm guessing no...because Kil'Jaeden was just killed 3 weeks ago in the new raid on the Sun Well. And to the people that say he doesn't die...I've seen the end of the fight. He is killed. GG. Stop showing off your ignorance, it's not too flattering.

 

Of course it's going to piss you off if you don't have a clue about what's going on.

People do not buy World of WarCraft or the expansions to kill the most antagonist behind the expansion. It's not like Diablo or any other RPG's where you kill the end boss and that's it. World of WarCraft's completely different. It's not about killing that single hero, it's about the new level cap, and hence the new abilities and talents, all the end game content, not just Arthas or Illidan, all the new gear, new battleground, and all the other new features, like flying mounts for Burning Crusade or siege weapons for Wrath, etc. People buy World of WarCraft and it's expansions for the whole. They don't look at it and say 'oh yeah, I'd really like to kill Arthas' or 'hmm, I'd like to finish this game' or anything along those lines.

And yes I do play it. Kil'Jaeden is still alive. He's drawn back in by the Sunwell and only his chain remains. This truly shows how ignorant you are. For christ's sake, at least look it up sometime before you start trying to flame people when it's you who's wrong.

 

calling people with another opinion ignorant?

I can name at least 45 people that will buy the game to kill Arthas, and that's just me personally. I'm guessing you don't know any hardcore raiders. There are more of them than you think. At least 25% of the WoW fanbase are hardcore raiders. What do you do once you do hit your level cap? You go for as much new gear as you can get your grubby little hands on. For some people that means PvP, or grind rep or 5-mans. Raiding is the obvious choice for the majority. Blizzard realizes that less people play the game to grind rep...that's boring as hell. Less people play the game to PvP, but arena is gaining popularity very quickly, that's why they implemented the Arena servers that are dedicated to cash tournaments. They realize that there are two kinds of raiders, the casual, and the hardcore. Thus the reason they made every raid 10 and 25 man. The whole thing with Wrath is that you will see Arthas all over the place. Blizzard has said this on Several occasions. I'm not saying that his opnly involvement is so you can kill him, he'll be a quest NPC probably numerous times. Making Northrend all about Arthas. Sure there will be the rep grinding against the Red Dragonflight, and probably a few run ins with the burning legion here and there, but other than that its basically all about Arthas. Let's face it, Arthas is a very popular character. He goes from great hero to power hungry mad-man. An you are along with him every step of the way. Plus the Lich King has been on the top of people's kill list for years.

And as for my mistake with Kil'Jaeden, I'm sorry for the flaming. I watched a video with the absorbtion of Kil'Jaeden blacked out. I assumed he just died because they always said defeat, and death and blah blah blah. My mistake.

 

THe same thing happened to lord Sargares. His body was coming thought the well the Night elfs guard and it was closed on him. He only lost his body for a while so u can guess the same thing might of happened to Kil'Jaeden, Or its possible since the sunwell is only half as strong or less then the night elf Well kil'Jaeden gets to keep his body. Either way this boss WILL be returning one way or another.

and its not really nice to try and speek for every single person who buys the game. Every one buys the game cause of there own reasons, I bought it cause it was a step up from diablo and i liked WC3 lore and wanted more. I didnt buy it to kill any one i just wanted to know what happens to Hero chars like thrall and orcs. I had high hopes along time ago i could make a fel orc. I never got that and i'm still disappointed to this day.

 

I know there are casual players. I know there are many casual players. Many players don't even reach 70 and they are perfectly content. But I highly doubt those players will be buying Wrath, so I chose to exclude them because that is the topic at hand. I didn't mean to make it seem like WoW is raiders and raiders only. Because I know raiding get boring as well.

 

i hope you dont think of me as a casual player, Have 3 twinks and 2 70s and my brother has 1 70 and 2 twinks and we play night and day aslong as one of use payed for it... And your right i exclude casual players aswell. There is way more content for pve then pvp or even an RP player.

 

@ TYReaper. Quit guessing. You're wrong.

The idea of hardcore raiding completely defeats the idea that people will buy the game to kill Arthas. Once they kill Arthas, will they stop playing? Of course not, but if they were buying the game purely to kill him, then logically, they'd stop there. The thing is that they don't. They keep playing, doing more raids, getting better gear, etc, etc. The game is not about killing Arthas. No-one will buy the game to kill Arthas. The thing that draws people into playing World of WarCraft and consequently Wrath is not Arthas.

 

Guessing?
I think you have the wrong idea...
I'm not saying they're buying it to purely kill Arthas... I'm saying they're doing it because they want the gear he drops. It's not guessing its' fact...I can give you the names and the servers of all 45 of those players, and I'm sure they know people just like them, and those people know people... You aren't as all knowing as you think you are so step down off your high horse,
