  • Dear Blizz,

    Please retcon everything that happened in Wow and make warcraft 4, where this cinematic left off.

    Yours Sincerely,

    A fan.

  • Already back then, Blizz made stunning graphics..

  • Too bad WoW had to ruin the story. Warcraft 4 would of been much better. Oh well.

  • If you think about it, arthas was a super weakling because he failed to resist evil

  • @Freedom21stCenturi Anyone ever told you how dumb your reasoning is? srsly... stfu and go somewhere else -.-

  • @starzerg96 You do not tell me where to go. YOU stfu.

  • @Freedom21stCenturi MAKE me you fucking dickhead. Learn the lore before you play smartass dickhead. Fucking pathetic how dumb you are. So stfu and really... Leave this place and never return since we dont give a fuck about your opinion -.-

  • @starzerg96 Wow I didn't know I was dealing with a total badass over here. Actually, I know the lore. I was playing warcraft 1 while you were still likely in diapers. My whole point was arthas was a paladin, and was supposed to resist evil temptations and fight for the light, but in the end he succumbed to evil, thus failing himself.

  • @Freedom21stCenturi he gave in to evil was to protect his loved ones. He belived that if he could control the runeblade he would be able to stop the Scourge from destroying Lordaeron. But that backfired and he fell in to darkness. And if you had known, he was the only reason the argent dawn could ever put Icecrown under siege. He was holding the Scourge back from wiping ever living on Azeroth out. Had the Lich King had full control he woud have wiped everthing out.

  • @Freedom21stCenturi it really was not that simple. he just choose another allegiance. In my opinion there really is no good or evil in that game, everyone has their agenda, they all are loyal to something and against something else, like different factions. If he was working with the burning legion, now that's another story. He just choose the power, and allegiance where he was appreciated and out of he's fathers shadows.

  • control over the undead is NOT worth climbing those steps

  • whats the music at 2:19 called??

  • Finished the book last night... Awesome book.

  • Great but sad story.

  • 2:19

    *look at the Mist of Pandaria intro*

    BLIZZARD ! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE ?!?!?!?

  • @HDixThisisCaboose they did something that can save the franchise, you just dont know it yet...

  • @HDixThisisCaboose

    That was an epic story, now it goes to Japanese and Korean bullshit...

  • @HDixThisisCaboose Given us what we wanted! PANDAMONIUM!

  • 2:14...

  • That last shot of Arthas on the frozen throne accompanied by that somber musical score sends chills down my spine......every. single. goddamn. time.

  • Comment removed

  • 2:16

  • imagine if helmet slided a few metter more ... arthas would be doomned

  • The Lich King is without doubt my favorite bad guy in the warcraft era. Ilidan is cool, but his background and history doesnt compare to the lich king. Bc was pretty fun, but i think World of Warcraft's final Hoorah was WOTLK. in cata they've changed way to much and has made the game more of a hassle than entertainment

  • I wish Blizzard didn't scrap the whole Ner'Zhul plotline. It's just dumb that in WOTLK that he was only Arthas. He should have been the Lich King...no longer Arthas or Ner-Zhul. Just one singular evil entity. Or Ner'Thas or Arthzul could have worked:P. With with Bolvar as the Lich King now...maybe we haven't heard the end of Ner-Zhul....

  • @Macca1969 He was Arthas and Ner'Zhul. People refer to him as Arthas because that was the mortal shell. I also don't think the characters fully understand the fact Ner'Zhul existed. Just that there was the Lich King, and Arthas was leading the scourge and thus was the Lich King. And Bolvar was scorched by Red Dragon Fire, this makes him immune to corruption, so Ner'Zhul would not be able to do anything with Bolvar sitting on the throne of ice.

  • If you've played WC3 and then TFT then this final ending is definitely moving and pretty sad. It's on of my favorite endings in a game. Arthas' journey led him to this final point to ascend to the throne of the Lich King.

  • I love this ending one of my fav endings to a game but its a very sad ending aswell i love the music to its amazing

  • Warcraft is the most touching story... love it.

  • As far as im concerned world or warcraft "lore", which sucks, isnt even trully part of the warcraft story, it just fucks shit up, like killing arthus, BASTARDS

  • i wonder who the previous lich king was

  • @jacob0876 his name was lich king created by the deamon lord

  • if Warcraft 4 comes......i'm a very happy boy

  • 2:16 Bow down before the one True King

  • i wish i never gave my precious Warcraft 3 to my friend...he lost it...and can never give it back to me T_T

  • Arthas is an excellent example of a fantasy villain done right.

    Everything he does he does for the sake of his people, even giving up his own humanity by choosing to become the Lich King.

    This gives a very tragic element to the character, as he is now nothing more than the king of a dead land and a dead people.

    All that effort and sacrifice, for nothing.

    A shame other villains can't follow this example.

  • @TheJboy88 Something that I absolutely love about World of Warcraft is the ability to play as characters of both the Alliance and the Horde, solely because you know that both sides only want what's best for their people. Neither side is "good", and neither side is "bad".

  • sad that arthas turned into a stereotypic dictator when he put the helm on :(

  • 6 Years after Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne. They finally make The Wrath of the Lich King...Awesome Blizzard.

  • Frostmourne hungers!!!

    

  • talk about frozen throne...

    maybe arthas is freezing his ass there XD

  • warcraft 3 best game ever made

  • "Have you lost your mind Arthas?" All those whispering voices of his past give me chills. A truly terrifying character, to know he was once for the good of mankind only to be corrupted by the hunger for power on his mission to save his people. One of the best stories in the Warcraft universe.

  • MFW-People realize that Starcraft has copied so much crap off of the Warhammer 40k series.

  • @Kazerioth

    Who cares if they copied?

    Both Warhammer, and War/stacraft are great games/series :P

  • Personally, i would LOVE to see blizzard take a whole new RTS direction should they make Warcraft 4: since Starcraft 2 is already the "old school" rts, i would love them to come up with a sort of "Warcraft 4total war", with mass formation battles, apocalyptic spells and "historic" campaigns wich describe the various conflicts of Warcraft's great lore. I would just love to see Thrall fry a whole formation of footmen witn chain lighting xP, or see tyrande bombard the enemy army with falling stars

  • Too bad all good things must come to an end :(

    But to relive the epicness of the lich king then click here 2:10

  • Stop whinning about WoW you stupid faggets , Its not comparable to warcraft.. Yes they took warcraft's story to turn it into a world but hey , who said WC4 would never come out.. Blizzard has no limit as company , they can still improve on their stories and gaming experience. They made a great move by making WoW and im sure they will turn it back into an RTs some day. And don't forget that they kinda took SC as their main rts game due to its popularity.

  • It seems to me or the King Lich's Mask is similar to TLOR Sauron's Mask? Just saying... I think it is. If so, who copied who? I mean, maybe... Peter Jackson took most his ideas from this AWOSOME game... I think he did it!! What do you think?

  • @Vresnor you mean blizzard took their ideas from Peter Jackson, The Fellowship of the ring was released in 2001 the Frozen throne was released in 2003.

  • @DANNYBARE2 Exactly... I think... maybe... Peter Jackson copied some game's features... I don't know... Just saying... because if u watch the Prologue of the Fellowship of the Ring, well, Sauron has a similar mask (helmet)... check it out. Or maybe Peter took the ideas from the illustrated version books. There were many artists also who painted Tolkien's ideas too... perhaps, it's just a coincidence... do you agree?

  • So basically, it took how many years to construct a fortified citadel at 2:31?

    Yep, this greatly preceded all that we knew of WotLK!

  • @Agent1W and on top of a wee ICE CHUNKS!!! Doesn't make ANY sense at all!!!1 xD

  • @MrJustinArt It had to be many years. I don't think they had modern construction equipment back then either.

  • @Agent1W indeed. But as I recall, Icecrown citadel lies on top of a mountain above dragonblight... so I wonder where all that water went

  • i killed the lich king, full raid party of 40, and all armed with radiators and hair dryers >=)

  • Lol did arthas make the citadal around the frozen throne before or after wotlk came out....

  • @PersonGuyOrTHing well probably he dropped the temperature so the water changed into ice, and remember between this and wotlk are 6 years, so his undead minions ,who don't need food or have to sleep, built the citadel.

  • In WoW Icecrown doesn't look anything like this, which is a shame. And I wonder where all the water went? :

  • @Vuldemurt Froze because well idk know he hired goblins to move the frozen throne to somehwere else maybe?

    no wait if goblin where around the frozen throne it would melt....

  • World of Warcraft is not Warcraft 4 in the same way that GTA: Vice City and GTA: San Andreas are not GTA 4 and GTA 5. Get that through your heads people.

  • SUBZEROOOOO

  • Watching this then the WoW cinematic is pretty cool.

  • i seeeee they have always being good at trailers

  • i think the music at the end fits arthas sad story perfectly!

  • Man i Want Warcraft 4 Then Another -_- :D

  • Well the Lore is fucked up. Deathwing...is back...oh wait...Lothar killed his ass in Warcraft II so how the fuck is he still alive?

  • @SoulKiller7Eternal Maybe cause Lothar didnt kill Deathwing

  • @Halikarz31 Then it shows you didnt download that patch. Because the ORGINAL Dev Team released it.

  • @SoulKiller7Eternal Well look, Deathwing is alive, hm, that answers your statement. DEATHWING is not dead. We arent playing an expansion of a dead dragon.

    MrLiteral

  • @Halikarz31 Really? He isnt dead? Well no duh sherlock! What I want to know is why those dumb fucks in blizzard cant stick to the lore.

  • Best cinematic all time.

  • people where to find song from 2.16 to the end of video?? please help me. tnx 

  • @kriincast I guess it's "World of Warcraft - Invincible" - epic track ._.

  • I cried to this cinematic , I really hope one day blizzard makes War4 , damn I'll be even happy if they made an expansion 20 years later Y_Y

  • You know what i noticed,the mutltiple blades on frostmorne are shown on the right side of the blade,but in World of Warcraft they are on the left. What gives? Did blizz make a mistake?

  • @madcat789 Its not the orginal Dev team. The Dev team that made Warcraft 1 2 and 3 quit because of WoW.

  • @madcat789 It's hard to tell but Frostmourne has two skulls on it, one with the horns going around the hilt and the other with shorter horns that stop before they touch the first's. Again I can't tell if we're looking at the second skull or not, but I hope that helps.

  • Does anyone know the name of the song at the end of the cinematic?

  • It all makes sense now! I never played that so i feel like i understnad the Wrath Of The Lich King Cinematic. fucking sweet!

  • Just felt like mentioning this, When we say "Warcraft 4" we are referring to the RTS sequel to Warcraft 3, because we don't know what the next Warcraft RTS is going to be titled, but it's most likely going to be, Warcraft 4. If World of Warcraft WAS to be Warcraft 4, shouldn't it be titled "Warcraft 4" then?

    Anyway, I just want to keep things simple for all of us, the RTS sequel to Warcraft 3 is called Warcraft 4. World of Warcraft is a spin-off but set in the same universe and hence, canon.

  • @eventzz If they where to do a 4th warcraft game I would hope they make amends to how they killed of this fantastic character Arthas it was terrible the way the finished him off in my opinion anyway

  • @eventzz i'm sorry but world of warcraft is just restating what all ready happened... cata is the real warcraft 4

  • @eventzz World of Warcraft is not a spin-off lol. If theres gonna be a warcaft 4 it's gonna follow the events of World of Warcraft. There won't be no Lich King, Deathwing or Illidan in Warcraft 4.

  • @CorfixAMV maybe they will get ress xD... I miss arthas

  • Comment removed

  • @awesomejorman77 Can I get a reason for your rude response?

  • monolith ;)

  • is wrath of the lich king take place after warcraft 3

  • Skeleton: What... are your orders... master? Arthas: We wage war to azeroth! Skeleton: Who... dies first? Arthas: My old nemesis... the strongest, most annoying character of all time. Skeleton: Who, my king? Arthas: The king of kings. Skeleton: And who is this king of kings? Arthas: ...Hogger! Skeleton: The hogger?! Arthas: Now begins the biggest battle of our times. WARCRAFT IV! BATTLE FOR ELWYNN FOREST!
  • Fuck you WOW. Arthas aint dead in WC3, so fuck you WoW. ARTHAS FOR THE FUCKING EPIC WIN!

  • @TheCommunist100 You do know WC3 is before Wrath of the lich king in the timeline right?

  • @TheCommunist100 OR do you mean that you can still see arthas in WC3?

  • @zxeonx he wasn't dead at the end of the Frozen Throne, now was he ? and it takes only ten normal players to kill him, not anyone legendary or such. What a disgrace to WC, i say.

  • @TheCommunist100 Oh so your talking about it only takes 10 players after all his surving in wc3?

  • @zxeonx yup.

  • @zxeonx But it didnt take 10 players, it took ever spirit trapped in frostmourne to keep him bound, thats a good few thousand

  • @TheCommunist100 You do know the same people who made Warcraft made WoW riiiiight so basically if they say Arthas is dead...HE'S DEAD get over it

  • i never played the RTS, just the MMO, but why does arthas just sit in his chair and freeze over until wotlk came out? it seems counter productive 2 me

  • I bet all the original Warcraft players who played World of Warcraft had a spaz attack when WoTLK came out.

  • @fat55warcraft

    Some people just liked the easy-mode WoW that Wrath of the Lich King brought to the table. Actually having content that isn't stupidly easy will obvious alienate the newer crowd, but for the rest of us, it's a welcome change.

  • why didn't arthas use the teleport.

  • Why is it that these old cinematics are of better qualty than the new ones seen in WoW? :|

  • @mmvsn

    You're joking right? Compare this one to the Wrath of the Lich King cinematic. The WotLK cinematic is FAR superior to this one in every way.

    That's not to say this is a bad cinematic, but to say it is of better quality of Blizzard's latest cinematics is just flat out false.

  • @Awesomeuserdude

    I was mostly referring to the Wrathgate cinematic.

  • @mmvsn That used the games engine. A lot of the cinematics used the games engines to allow them to be used as part of the game or to "phase" a player (the wrathgate cinematic).

  • omg i have cataclysm beta and it sucks ass IWANT WOTLK BACK

  • @JPR300 trololololol ALMOST everything has a start and an end lol

  • What is the music in 2:15 , or style, here i can download similar tracks? It so beautiful!

  • @pope4eni I couldn't find it on the warcraft 3 ost but it was remade for the warth of the lich king ost

    v=86f_U_q4SFg

    enjoy

  • the panning-away of Arthas sitting in the throne gives me goosebumps everytime, especially with the music. his story is so tragic. he was so dedicated to helping his people, he unwittingly became the ultimate evil.

  • What is the song in this cinematic?

  • @ AlexD19931 You're right,

    than will arthas die :D

    With friendly kisses

    clonelpierce (gamemaster Soturi in WorldofWarcraft)

  • this is still the most epic bad-guys-win ending ever

  • this music is so fucking lotr

  • well he leave on ice.. no wondor we will kill him esay.. i think should make some fire under icc,, ;)

  • I find it funny how Arthas' Darkened Armor CONVIENTLY MATCHES with the Helmet.

  • I can't wait that long at all, and lets be honest, the cinematics in the RTS is so much better than the mmo. If it does take them a decade I just hope they make it with such a high quality that it brings tears to my eyes. And you are right about EA and Activision, that why I torrent all their games ;)

  • they said they would consder making a WC4 after SC2 + Expansions. So WC4 = maybe like 2020 LOL :(

  • @dman5601 Don't think I can wait that long lol. But at least their not pumping out the same 2, 3 games every year like EA. And now it seems Activision is following that trend...

    In any case, it's been 7 years since the expansion came out, I hope they don't make us wait a decade, which I think is very likely to happen...

  • @eventzz World of Warcraf = Warcraft4, sorry but its true.

  • @megaman9307 I'm sorry, but the game titled "World of Warcraf" doesn't exist, so obviously it's not Warcraft 4.

  • @eventzz The more you ignore it, the more it's gonna hurt when world of warcraft 4 happens, and everythings different.

  • @BuffaloMike007 SURE....

  • @BuffaloMike007 He's partly right, as World of Warcraft is set after WC3 in the timeline..

  • @dman5601 also don't forget the Diablo III game and possible expansions on that too if they do make em.

  • @dman5601 Would be better if WC4 was more in the past, during the war of the ancients and before the sundering of azeroth

  • @dman5601 World of Warcraft is WC4

    World of Warcraft - WC4

    The Burning Crusade - Epilogue to WC2

    Wrath of the Lich King - Epilogue to WC3

    Cataclysm - WC3 Kinda ended when The Lich King Died

  • Whats the MUSIC???

  • am i the only one who doesnt like how the LK looks? i mean he is a badass but i think he looks kinda silly... i think its the armor....

  • Wait what, Arthras dies?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...he was the best damn fuckin' hero, his specials sucked though when he was Light and Darkness, why kill him. NOOOOOOOOO!

    Best motherfucker in the game. Hail the King.

  • He got killed for a gay villain/human/hero. R.I.P Arthas, Greatest Villain in W.O.W

    Greatest, best-looking, and most power. Everybody else was gay, weak, and just sounded like an idiot.

  • Arthas looks realy fake in this video

  • :)) Lich King reminded me of Sauron. :)) Of course, Sauron came first.

  • Yo is this the real end of warcraft frozen throne isn't there more campaigns or it will be on wc 4 ?

  • @DjVtheJESUSsouja World of Warcraft picked up the Plot Ball and continues to run with it. There are also books. But yes, that's the real end of Frozen Throne.

    Was even a book about Arthas becoming the Lich King... which seems a tad redundant, since that's also what Warcraft 3 was mostly about.

  • whats the song that starts when hes sitting on the chair

  • King Arthritis, age 70.

  • so there was ecil talking helmet in cube of ice on frozen throne?

  • i bet this is how world of warcraft players all feel, they all feel like arthas, while arthas sits on his frozen throne alone , world of warcraft players are sitting alone on the computer. Arthas couldn't save lordaeron, WoW players can't get a life, don't you see how easy it is to resonate with videogame lovers?

  • @hitokirimasamun Quite the same can said for you. You are just like Arthas, sitting at your computer chair alone with no friends, trying to act and sound cool on the internet. See how easy it is to resonate with no life, stereotype spouting bigots?

  • All the past voices Arthas is hearing...could it be an affect from the saronite in Icecrown? Or is it just a coincidence? I doubt Blizz would plan that far in advance.

  • Poor Arthas, he fought and strugeld, but all he got was an nice hat and fozen butlocks.

  • For all those who thinkin why there is that much water.. I used think that too but then i discovered it, its actually same place on WoW as it is in cinematic but all tha water is gone see in game its actually bottom of sea we see there, hard to explain.. but asd.. :D

  • that looks like Saurons helmet lol

  • @wowguy1234567890 ye,but more awesome looking :)

  • isnt it funny how the helm matches the rest of the armor?

  • and the hell become frozen dead

  • RIP my old beloved hero

    never gonna forget the fun time we had :*(

  • the reason its different in WoW is cuz over the abominating years, Arthas has built all the citadels and vaults, crowding each with the trecherous Scourge beasts.

  • i think, when global warming hits, Arthas is totally screwed

  • @AlexD19931 lol

  • @AlexD19931 They should speed it up with like a million mages or something :D

  • @AlexD19931 that is very very old

  • great music on the finale)

  • The only thing that I din't get it is when we see Arthas merging with the Lich King there is a pinnacle around cold seas, and in WoW instead is placed into a Fortress well inside continental Northrend...teleport or undead magic able to lift earth from the abyss or great use of free manpower (scourge) to find a better location suited to aristochratic taste from Mr.Arthas?

  • @cid76 Its pretty cold up there. Could of frozen. a Legion of undead mages. Who knows But still. Its awsome

  • @cid76

    I was wondering that myself. Although thinking it through a bit I believe that the WC3 video must have been made in the spur of the moment. And because it looked better with water. Reasoning behind it? It's called IceCrown Glacier. Which as far as I know was located somewhere around the middle of IceCrown mainland itself. Alternatively Scourge mages work too. Dalaran anyone?

  • Arthas built the fortress Icecrown citadel around it afterwards.

  • @omega00omega I just realized.. WC3 takes place five years before WoW, right? Five years is a pretty short time to build something as impressive as ICC. I guess undead workers can work day and night :D Take that, Egyptian Pharaohs!

  • @wayne62682 he has millions of undead workers you dolt. rome could be built in day when you have that power

  • @wayne62682

    I'm pretty sure there was a cinematic that showed him summoning the citadel from the ground or something. Could be wrong though.

  • @wayne62682 ACtually, there is some time between WoW and BC, and BC and Wrath.

  • @wayne62682 those undead put the mexicans outta commision haha mexicans hire undead to do thier work haha

  • its awsome as the ending of this has arthus in his ice thrown. and the start of the Wow WOTLK cinematic in the same place lols

  • Star Craft two is out but WoW is the only WarCraft merch left.

  • no.... now they're only making wow games T.T... after deathwing is going to be sargeras the new threat..... :B

  • wonder what warcraft 4 would be about( if theyre were creating it)? Maybe about Lichy dies and Deathwing takes over the world >:D

  • lol x)

  • Its called world of warcraft????

  • "warcraft" and "world of warcraft" is two different kind of things :P

  • Well no... since the story line is the same. Infact no. They fucking up the story line these days, but anyway.

  • I affraid there will not be WarCraft 4, it is so sad. WarCraft is the best game ever! I hate WOW. DoTA Forever!
