The Wrath of the Lich King opening event continues tonight. Orgrimmar is under attack. If it hasn't happened yet on your server it will soon. The major points of the attack are as follows:

  • Thrall is fighting Garrosh Hellscream in the Ring of Valor. Hellscream wins.

  • Frost Wyrms and Aboms are attacking the Valley of Honor in Orgrimmar.

  • Sylvanas can be seen marching around the Valley of Honor with a contingent of skeleton soldiers.

  • The event appears to repeat itself every 20 minutes

  • The Horde leaders are all talking to each other about the war with Arthas in-between Thrall fighting Hellscream.

  • There are many reports that the necropolises have left the major cities.

  • In Stormwind, Varian Wynn, Bolvarr, and a few other nobles are standing under a tent in the Harbor. They are offering quite a bit of new flavor text when you talk to them.

  • Stormwind Harbor is being attacked with Frost Wyrms and Aboms. The King and his company of nobles are defending the Harbor the best they can.
