preparing for millions of players raiding his citadel in new WoW expansion
Rofl! That sentence has more truth to it then anyone will ever know. It's sad how WoW has just taken over the WC3 lore, and it's now twisted to suite whatever purposes the WoW DEvs have in mind.
Proof of this? I was watching the DVD that came with the BC collecters addition. They were talking about the new races. One of the devs said something like "We wanted to screw everybody up and make the Blood Elves on the Hord and the Draenei on the alliance. So we did, and then we came up with a story to make it all work". This disgusts me. The people that put so much time into creating the original lore must be pulling their hair out at what the WoW devs are doing to it. Lore should come first, crazy ideas second, not the other way around. I for one am sick and frekaing tired of Blizzard constantly screwing up their once beautiful lore to better fit their twisted needs.
In other news, the Lich King is (in lore) restoring rhe citadel. Once that's done, he'll just keep building up his Undead Army (perhaps release another plague if the mood suits him) and then invade all of Azeroth and bring about its total damnation.
To whoever said that the Lich King doesn't do anything, he just leaves it to his subordinates. WRONG. Absolutely wrong. The chief power of the Lich King is controlling others. He posessed every creature of Northrend at once and forced them to do his bidding. He is what making his army win. If you think about it, the Undead shouldn't be that much of the fighting force.... They have no will, no drive. What do they want? Well, probably to rest. So why then would they go on an exhausting campaign to wipe Azeroth off the map?
Because the Lich King is willing them to.
Offtopic: I'm very proud of myself, I managed to get 3 of my friends away from WoW, and now they play WC3 again instead of WoW 24/7. That's no easy feat
