*Smashes comments*

@hoitdoigs shut up! you don’t even know! lol jk your absolutely right.

@Vesacek
And most of those millions of dollars go to Activision now. They DID emphasize exactly how important that event was, but the most important thing was Bolvar replacing the Lich King, having to replace Arthas because without a ruler, the Scourge would destroy everyone and everything. Arthas’s story was emphasized mostly during the fight with him, and his death was emphasized plenty in the 1 minute they gave to him. What’s a powerful scene is seeing that ending cutscene AFTER the fight

@Vesacek
Blizzard has already apologized profusely for severely fucking up Burning Crusade. They regret is deeply. That does not, on the other hand, give you any excuse to dishonor their work on Arthas in WotLK. He is SUPPOSED to be this giant, almighty villain and nothing more then what he was in WC3. Reason being is that, to those who don’t care about story, he’s someone to kill, and to those who DO care about story, they get to see exactly how deific their beloved Prince has become…

@HenrydaHighlord
As for Arthas, he used to be that sort of a tragic fallen from grace champion character, but when we encountered him again in Wotlk? Just another I’m evil and almighty, come and kill me. There is nothing wrong with killing villains, problem is that most of them weren’t always villains and there backstory is either pathetic or completely lacking. And they kill most important warcraft character and out of 4 minut cut-scene, only 1 minute is dedicated to him. That’s just wrong.

The best ending they could. He had to die. So what did they do? They had him assault almost every corner of the living world (Scourge Invasion event). Then, they had him nearly annihilate everyone as they tried to chase him to Northrend without him even needing to think about it. Then, the currently most powerful palidin in the entire world, one of the two only second-generation palidins to ever live, Tirion Fordring, whom recently became the Ashbringer, gathered the most powerful champions…

@Vesacek
If you read the book ‘Rise of the Lich King’ it explains in great detail that when Arthas fused with Ner’Zhul, he DOMINATED Ner’Zhul, not the other way around. He cast away his humanity on HIS OWN WHIM in an exchange for power. It was his own soul that had the capacity for all the evil he wrought across the lands, not the will of Ner’Zhul. So no, one would NOT expect that his relationship with Jaine would have shown, considering that she would mean nothing to him anymore in his eyes.

@HenrydaHighlord
Ah sure, they make hundreds of millions dollars each year and have enough times for creating shitload of pets and different mounts etc., but they couldn’t give decent outro to the main character of the original story. I like opening cinematic and the outro didn’t have to be cgi, it should have just show how important thing just happened, not one minute of Arthas lying on the floor and 3 minutes of cheesy dialogues.

@HenrydaHighlord
Doesn’t change that they could use the fact, that he shared body with Nerz’hul, making Nerz’hul take over, giving Arthas chance to redeem himself (dying in the process). In the halls of reflection one would have thought that his relationship with Jaina might show him to be torn between his current and former self, but no, he was just an empty husk, reduced to 2 dimensional evil boss, that is really strong and really evil, so just go and kill him players, have no regrets.

@Vesacek
And it IS somewhat wrong that they didn’t give him a better cutscene, but there’s only so much one company can do with the limited amount of time they’re given by the consumers. So how about you not complain about the ending cutscene, huh? I was disappointed with it at first to, but they spend YEARS building those high-def cutscenes from the ground up, especially the WotLK opening. Can’t you just make yourself satisfied with the best they could offer instead of whining?

@HenrydaHighlord
I love how in all your post you are using words like biggest, most powerfull, strongest and such. Cheesy and over-the-top, that’s how you do it Blizzard, idiots love it. Yes, Blizzard ruined the story, sure villains should die, but they took awesome W3 an FT characters and turned them into 2 dimensional uninteresting villains, taht are evil just for the sake of being evil. Illidan and Kael’thas are most obvious.

Oh, and just so I can not bitch anymore, this song is great, and the artwork montage is very well done. I wish I could have it on iTunes. =]

I cried when Arthas died, literally, when I saw that final cutscene for him. Why? It was fucking beautiful. That’s why. And you know what else? Most Warcraft lore fans share my opinion.

He died at the hands of his own arrogance, hubris, and evil, like every Tainted God should, and if you have a damn problem with that, then just keep it to yourself. You SHAME the character he was if you in any way believe that his end was not appropriate. His story was the best, and his ending was no different.

Just because you have sentimental attachment to these original Warcraft characters does NOT give you a right to say that their stories were destroyed. Illidan’s was, in a way, but Blizzard apologizes for that. But don’t you DARE think they they have any reason to apologize for Arthas. He rose and fell metaphorically in Warcraft 3, then he rose and fell physically in WoW. That’s how it should have been and if you think it was poorly executed, then you are just a damn tool…

And then, through storyline purposes, in Arthas’s place they put a VERY loved and VERY treasured character: Bolvar Fordragon. If you were any real lover of Warcraft while playing WoW, then you’d know everything about who Bolvar Fordragon was. If you paid any attention to the WoW lore, then you would, in fact, be attached to Bolvar just as much as Arthas.

That’s why he became the replacement Lich King. Not because they needed a new raid boss, but because it was STORYLINE APPROPRIATE…

Arthas powerless, helpless against one final assault by the greatest champions of Azeroth. In his own arrogance and egotism, Arthas was killed BY HIS OWN HUBRIS. And in his final moments of grief, his soul was shrunk down to the meager size of the young, human prince he once was as he shared his final moments with his beloved father.

Care to fucking bitch now about how he died? They killed one of the greatest villians to ever exist in the most symbolic and interactive way they could…

… at any point in the battle with Arthas, but NO, Arthas was the Lich King. He was unstoppable, so in his narcissism and arrogance, he let the most powerful champions in the world actually weaken him before he KILLED THEM ALL with a single spell without even blinking. And then, in his weakened state, Tirion Fordring rose up from his prison and shattered the runeblade Frostmourne into a billion pieces. The souls of the millions of lives Arthas took then spilled from their agony and rendered…

To ever live, and he made them KILL EACH OTHER during the midst of their training. Then, he sent the best 10 or 25 of them into the hugest fucking citadel ever created on Azeroth so that these champions would fight wave after wave of Arthas’s most powerful creations. Most of the time, the most powerful champions in the world were killed dead by these mere CREATIONS of the Lich King. But, when the champions reached the top of Icecrown with Tirion Fordring, they could have been slain…

…for that mistake, because of how many people were pissed off at how poorly the story was executed. But how fucking DARE you complain about how they killed Arthas. Arthas was the Lich fucking King. He was not a paladin anymore, obvious from Warcraft 3:The Frozen Throne. He killed his father, his mentor, and his entire fucking kingdom. He became then one of the most powerful sons of bitches to ever live and be born on Azeroth. Blizzard KNEW this, and so they set off to give him…

But hey, how is Blizz going to kill them off? Well, they could make up all these excuses for them to die, OR, they could satisfy ALL OF THEIR FANBASES by having them as the raidbosses that they need to keep a non-story oriented fanbase happy.

Through this process, they made mistakes through trial and error, and they admitted it and apologized. They did such with many stories in vanilla WoW, and they REALLY did it when they completely fucked up Illidan’s storyline. They chastised themselves…

They made many mistakes. What company doesn’t? But instead of just not admitting to being faulty and imperfect, they held up to their values and WORKED HARDER. Sure, I’m bitching right now, but I’m bitching to all of you idiots who dare bitch about how Blizzard has recently executed the Warcraft story. You want to know why they killed so many villians? Because they’re FUCKING VILLIANS. They’re despicable sacks of evil shit. They needed to die at some point, because there was no turning back.

And so from that fanbase grew more and more original Warcraft fans whom were in love with the story of the RTS’s and wanted to see how Blizzard continued them. Then, after vanilla WoW released, the fanbase grew very very wide, a range from children to older adults, all from different gaming and story-loving backgrounds. Some people never cared about the WoW original story, but many do. Because of this fact, Blizzard had to satisfy as much of the fanbase it could so everyone would be happy.

-_- You people just love to bitch and moan like little cry-baby game whores, don’t you? I don’t know who or give a fuck about whom I’m replying to, but whoever thinks I’m replying to them, GROW A PAIR. Warcraft is a very great story, epically told in a way in which Blizzard believes is best for every type of game fan. The original WoW beta back more then half a decade ago was full of nothing but original Warcraft fans from the RTS’s, because they were fans of the story and wanted to see more.

@Blackhand300 tbh arthas isnt dead……….or at least i believe that since he is the ”main” character on the lore something will happen in a next expansion (maybe) some say that arthas’s death equals wow’s end……..wow isnt yet over……….and if its true then arthas isnt 100% dead yet (i hope so) xD

He will learn no king rules forever, only death is eternal.
