World of Warcraft Under Attack in Lich King Pre-release Event

A world event has been triggered in Blizzard's World of Warcraft, with various scripted events providing a prelude to Thursday's Wrath of the Lich King expansion release.

The orc capital of Orgrimmar is currently under attack by the Lich King's Scourge forces in an event that repeats every 20-30 minutes.

After the forces are beaten back, Thrall and Garrosh Hellscream have a disagreement over whether to invade the Lich King's home of Northrend. Thrall urges prudence, while Garrosh advises an immediate assault. The argument grows heated, and the two eventually do battle, Garrosh nearly winning before The Herald of the Lich King announces another attack.

Reports also show that Stormwind Harbor is under attack, with King Varian Wrynn and others putting up a defense.

    There have been back to back events in the game since about the middle of their Halloween celebration (in game). It first started with the Lich King unleashing the zombie infestation upon...everything. Then there was some more scourge invasion (I was too busy leveling alts to go out of my way to see this part). The Alliance/Horde finally cleansed the zombie virus completely around this point. It's been pretty calm up until now, as last night this event happened in both major cities, culminating when Arthas taunts everyone in the main city to challenge him in Northrend.

    By far the most fun was the zombie invasion, the amount of griefing was hilarious. If you were attacked by any zombie you had anywhere from 3-10 seconds to march your happy ass to one of the few cleansing NPCs around the cities. Towards the end of the event it was pretty much pointless to even try. Just give in to brains and pass along the good will to as many other people before you die.
