There must always be... a Lich King?

[Ulfric Trumpcloak]

Whatever happened to that? If there's no Lich King, isn't the scourge going to start marching on towns and cities and razing everything to the ground? I've no idea if this has been covered in the SL beta because i'm in the forever no beta club.

[Sorrowseer]

Wait and see.

Blizzard hired dumb and dumber from game of thrones and they sort of forgot about that.

Thou tbh, it was a dogshit ending to the story anyway. I remember being relly pissed about that bullshit, that was back when i still cared about wow lore..

[Schattenlied]

I believe that was already talked about... I remember them saying it's gonna happen in the prepatch, shit starts to go crazy with the Scourge and the "heroes" end up fending off attacks on the main cities, and then head to ICC to find out wtf is going on. That's how we end up talking to Bolvar and heading to Shadowlands in the first place.

[Rhlor]

as I understand the scourge will get out of control and cause problems around the world and that will be the pre expa event

[BrintoSFJ]

Pre-patch event, scourge going wild all around Azeroth.

"Tell them only that the Lich King is dead, and World of Warcraft died with him." It only becomes more and more true.

Congratulations, you've just figured out what the pre-patch is going to be about

Good riddance. That was fucking retarded. Like basically everything the lich king did in wotlk. Their unimaginary retarded writers just thought that sentence was cool in pirate of the caribean and wanted to use it.
Random brainless undead are way less dangerous than a coordinated undead army controled by a hivemind by far. It's not even close.

So the huge threat that was going to engulf Azeroth is casually dispatched in a pre-patch event.
I can see it really was worth all the hype.

(I suppose nobody thought to tell Bolvar he could just make his undead jump into a volcano and solve the problem in a few weeks, but whatever, the entire concept is retarded to begin with)

[Nnyco]

Wait till pre-patch and you find out.

[Harbour]

Im pretty sure the next expansion gonna be Light-based, so while we are in SL the Scourge most likely actually spread across the Azeroth but Scarlet Crusade, Turalyon and Co and reinforcements from AU Draenor will push them back. This will be the premise of the 10.0 prepatch when we will return back from SL and see the armies of light destroying the Scourge.

Its even worse, they hired their fans.

[apelsinjuice]

Yes thats what will happen in the pre patch event they already confirmed some kind of scourge invasion will happen

[Narwhalosh Whalescream]

So when is the pre event for this?

[Mehrunes]

Given how the Lich King getting blasted from the other side of the world made half the Scourge in Lordaeron break free and the Lich King getting hit with a shiny sword made the Ebon Blade break free, the idea that the Lich King outright dying would only make the Scourge aN eVeN gReAtEr ThReAt was already idiotic back then. And now we'll deal with this "greater threat" in a pre-expansion afternoon. Because the hacks pretending to be writers at Blizzard wouldn't be able to construct a consistent narrative even if their worthless lives depended on it.

Its even worse, they hired their fans.

The sad thing is that this post isn't even a joke.

The expansion pre-event will be a Legion Invasions-like Scourge Invasion event, ostensibly because without the Helm of Domination keeping the lion's share of the Scourge under control and confined to Icecrown, now they're running rampant all around Azeroth. I'm curious what kind of rewards we'll get from the event this time around, as last time brought back the Argent Dawn tabard, some neat trinkets that included an Argent guardian and a Castlevania reference, and some unique armor sets including a unique Judgment recolor. Granted, the previous Scourge Invasion was an update of the pre-Naxx event with new armor sets/trinkets and a zombie invasion component.

100% true. It should be retconned and forgotten asap.

So it will be 3rd time we see naxx/wotlk pre event. I think i still have some necrotic runes left in my bags.

to be fair we are not the same as we were in wrath,we kinda became a big deal over the years,also we havent seen the pre patch yet,it can end up fairly well,granted i never liked the wrath ending asspull
