Line 14:
**** The final battle with the Lich King at the Frozen Throne is just one long CMoA, period. Between the epic danger of the val'kyrs snatching players up and ''tossing them off the edge of the Citadel'', the massive pools of blight, earthquake spells, getting ''sucked inside Frostmourne'', it's insanely fun, challenging, and keeps you on the edge of your seat. Even the scripted phase at the end is incredible. After the above mentioned shattering of Frostmourne, the thousands of souls trapped inside it break free and stun the Lich King, allowing you to open a can of whoop ass to finish him. That alone could qualify as a CMoA by itself, not to mention a [[Tear Jerker|Tearjerker]], when you consider it's the ghost of Arthas' dead father that resurrects you when everything looks hopeless, and it's the souls of all the people murdered/enslaved by the Lich King that help you bring him to justice. A suitably epic end for one of the most memorable villains in the Warcraftverse.
**** "Terenas Menethil wants to resurrect you."
* The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keaJm5rdAbg Wrath Gate] event in the Dragonblight and the groundbreaking EPIC of a quest chain that follows it proves why Blizzard is the master at storytelling. It simply has to be experienced in order to grasp the sheer awesomeness of it all. Without spoiling anything, the [[Holy Shit Quotient|HSQ]] is ridiculously high and the player actually feels like they're having an impact upon the game world. In an [[Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game|MMORPG]] no less.
** It also ends up with an excuse as to why the Horde and Alliance are at war again... though thankfully it's appropriately played with and made into a major plot point in Icecrown. Ultimately, I just said to myself "Screw it, I'm with the Argent Crusade."
*** How much of an impact has this questline made in WoW? Go to the forums and post anything that was posted above. Watch it hit 26 pages in 3 hours.
