Maybe. Or maybe you could just rely on your MT not to unsub...

Raid Weekly Quests
New daily (most likely Weekly) raid quests have been added to the game! They currently reward you with Emblem of Frost x 10.

Lord Marrowgar Must Die! (Icecrown Raid)
Lord Jaraxxus Must Die!
XT-002 Deconstructor Must Die!
Ignis the Furnace Master Must Die!
Razorscale Must Die!
Flame Leviathan Must Die!
Malygos Must Die!
Patchwerk Must Die!
Instructor Razuvious Must Die!
Noth the Plaguebringer Must Die!
Anub'Rekhan Must Die!
Sartharion Must Die!

yay?

also some spells have been data-mined about reforging a sword named Quel'Delar, all the tempering, cleansing (in sunwell no less) and hearing voices from the sword itself to go some place look like they could have been meant to be for the Ashbringer if Blizzard weren't dicks about player ever being able to get a cleansed Ashbringer ever so they put in this replacement

Am I reading this right? All of Icecrown Citadel is going to be a 5-man instance and not a 25-man raid? After all this time and lead-up to the final confrontation with Warcraft's biggest villain, it culminates in a 5-man battle?

While that would be a pretty funny "Fuck you" to raiders, hell I can just imagine the fucking uproar now. It shouldn't even be a question you know damn well there is going to be the 10/25/Normal/Heroic raid version of Icecrown that everyone will farm 4 times weekly in addition to hitting up old raids for their weekly raid badges.

Hell lets knock the rumors up a notch and say the New Legendary is from a 1% drop rate from the 5 man as well.

Well this pretty much confirms the rumors that Cataclysm is being pushed for a spring/summer 2010 release amirite?

1.12 was August 22, 2006
2.0.1 was December 5, 2006
2.4 was March 3, 2008
3.0 was October 10, 2008
3.3 PTR was October 1, 2009

Following this trend 4.0 will be hitting live servers approximately around May/June, which isn't unprecedented for Blizzard:

Diablo II - PC - GameSpy June 30, 2000 for Diablo 2.
Diablo II: Lord of Destruction - PC - GameSpy June 30, 2001 for Diablo 2 expansion.

Actually not a bad idea to release for summer. You get all the high school and college kids right as they get their free time=more dot...umm subs.

(deep voice) Horde warrior needs subscription badly.

They already give a warning and large buffer. You get an extra two and a half hours after your time runs out to play.

What, doesn't activity normally struggle during the summer, because "Oh outside shiny" or something?

Heylel Teomim · 10-02-2009, 07:33 AM

Giving serious consideration whether to resub for this or not. On the one hand, it's Arthas. Been wanting to kill that fucker for years. On the other hand, goddamn the content has been boring lately.

It's really going to come down to the raid fights. If it's no more interesting than ToC... meh.

Zaphid · 10-02-2009, 07:47 AM

I'll give Aion a try and maybe after I finish the christmas game onslaught I will come back to WoW, the longer you go without it the easier it is to skip the next patch. On one hand it looks pretty sweet and I'm sure it will be the best instance to date, on the other hand, clearing the same shit 3-4 times a week is a highway to boredom.

As Cybsled said: Nope.

The 5-man, or, rather, the 3 different 5-man versions involve you assisting either Jaina or Sylvanas in sabotaging stuff and disrupting the whole Scourge war machine in Icecrown, as a softening black ops, to make things easier for the final assault.

THEN (in game history - you don't have to do it to be flagged or anything for the raid), you are supposed to participate in the raid.

And yes, you're going to encounter the Lich King in his own meditation/rest area, which is going to probably cause a pretty big rumble, seeing as you either come along with his former Love Interest (Jaina) or worst Ennemy (Sylvanas). He's going to abscond, but expect him to "remember" you when you arrive on floor 4 of the Citadel. After all, you've been meeting him a few times already, since Borean / Howling...

Interesting that King Terenas has a model now...
