He was the main character you played through with, at the end you got to see a screen him fighting a desperate battle against the black rock orcs, and dying.
Lothar was a legendary warrior of heroes, yet he died, so will anyone in time, better be in fight. You get to be in the fight itself here!
The illidan fight was legendary, when Nihilum released their video it was the top for a looooong time and to this day, still is quite a legendary wow video, because they captured it all pretty well, and honestly it was an epic battle, worth a while, illidan died, yes it was with help from 2 other heroes, whom you had been playing with in Warcraft 3: frozen throne.
They aren't the only heroes in the game, you know, have you ever passed through the stormwind entrance? Not to mention many people only talk about the heroes from Warcraft 3, mostly.
Arthas was a big main character, no doubt, he was obviously both pretty strong in both Warcraft 3 and the expansion, with lots of parts to play in with. People won't like him dying, since he was the lead character throughout those two games alone, he was both righteous and became wicked evil, he was quite badass, he betrayed everyone, killing off his own father, he became king of a kingdom of his own, walking dead perhaps but still his own, sorta, he defied The burning legion, he has now EVEN outlived Kil Jaedan! I mean, i didn't expect to see the end of the burning legion, or at least it's current leader, this soon.
We will probably witness some legendary Titans in the future, not to mention perhaps get to dig into Sargeras's past. Maybe he'll even be revived. The warcraft lore is vast, bigger than people seem to know.
I was checking up on a blog that I recently started to follow and saw an article the author posted on the upcoming World of Warcraft expansion. (Wrath of the Lich King) The blog can be found here: rpgfeed.blogspot.com In the blog he brings up a few key points that will pretty much spell the end of WoW for me. For those too lazy to read it, I will summarize.
First he goes on to say that the game has had a lack of quality content as of late, and is pretty much ruining the WoW lore by killing off key figures. He also gives some examples.
He then goes on to explain how the dev team seems to be loosing direction since the new Inscription profession is a re-tooled Enchanting, and gives an example of how they could have come up with a better profession, the example being a pretty damn cool one.
Finally he mentions the fact that a large influx of Death Knights are going to hit the game as soon as the expansion comes out, and pretty much overwhelm the population.
I don't really do his article justice, but those are some of the key points.
What do you guys think? We will be killing Arthas in WotLK. Who else is after that? I agree with him 100% that I will be done with Warcraft after I finally see Arthas die. Oh well, I guess it's for the best. Maybe I can get back to my real life.
I don't believe Lore is that important to most players. They just want to have fun and do it with a bunch of other people around.
WoW's most important selling point is that it runs very well on low end machines. No other MMO does that.
Most MMO's are better games than WoW but they require machines that the average WoW player isn't capable of buying or maintaining. Until a MMO comes out that runs as well as WoW on low end junk pc's WoW's subscription numbers are probably safe.
While I don't play WoW anymore (Tbc killed it for me). Both my brother and my sister both resubbed for the patch and are totally dissapointed with the patch. With WotLK I strongly believe that WoW will start to have a steady decline of people playing it since Arthus is supposed to be the be all end all in bosses ( i know there are others but none are as cool as him). If it wasn't for the 40 to 25 man raid cap decision I would probably still be playing WoW but to be honest the only reason I started playing WoW was to fight Arthus and illidian since I was a big WC rts fan. Now that these lore bosses will be dead I see a lot of people moving on. With the lore not being as interesting and the game being on the old side people will start leaving and the game will be too ugly to play graphics wise to catch on with the up and coming new MMO players. Every MMO goes through this cycle, happened with UO, EQ and DAoC back before WoW.
And then there's project Hydra.

Actually, WoW is the best game of all MMOs. Some are better worlds, some got better PVP, better economy, better social mechanics, better graphics, but every MMO that has something better than WoW is worse in every other area.
WoW might not have best everything, but it's just better enough and has nothing really shitty.
