I want him to die and restore everything when he does I WILL KILL YOU HEAR ME ARTHAS I WILL KILL YOU!

I would actually like him to be purified and brought back to the light and all that jazz, not die.

i actually heard that we wern't going to kill the Lich King, but he would be "defeated" like Kil'Jaeden. I'm not sure if this is true but I heard Blizzard say a while ago that they felt they made a huge mistake killing Illidan, and didn't want to make the same mistake. So sorry if I put down your hopes, but that's something to worry about. And it would make a lot more sense with Goblin and Worgen "Death knights".

Since Saurfang and Muradin are on the airships going up to the top of ICC and they have a fight between the two of them, you won't have either in Arthas' chambers (as depending on your faction, Saurfang/Muradin dies)
I can see Tirion/Mograine wounding Arthas, but neither should get the final blow (and fraknly, I think Tirion's gone a bit insane, listen to his dialogue during all the Argent Tournament stuff both 5-man and especially the Raid.)
It sould be Jaina and/or Sylvanis (If they keep with the idea of phases based on Faction it will be 'or', otherwise I see a collaborative effort. Jaina using her frost magic to bind, Sylvanis firing fatal arrows)
Arthas should definately use his 'ARMAGEDDON!' move to incapacitate/wipe the raid for a cutscene of his fall.

Thrall, Sylvanas, Vol'jin, Cairne, Garrosh, Saurfang walk in with the players as they confront Arthas, at 90% Arthas summons undead minions, this is when a horde gunship blasts a hole in Icecrown Citadel, and drops in horde soldiers, at 75% Tirion and the Argent Crusade arrive in their shiniez and start to beat on the stronger and much larger wave of undead soldiers, at 50% Darion Mograine and the Knights of the ebon blade arrive, as they enter Arthas summons a MASSIVE army of just plain skeletons (massive army tho k) that slaughters every Crusade, Horde, and Ebon blade soldier (Aside from leaders) 40% Arthas does something that injures all the heroes of the Horde leaving only Darion and Tirion, the latter was stuned by the attack and is slain by Arthas, seeing Tirion fall, Darion grabs the Ashbringer and becomes human again, the bright light blinding Arthas, however, this great change causes darion to collapse and drop the Ashbringer, ending the effect, however, at 20% Saurfang jumps up and goes RAWRRRRRRRRRZAWWWR and slices through Arthas' breastplate in one might cleave, as Arthas focuses on Saurfang you see Sylvanas among the Rafters, at 1% Arthas casts his apocalypse spell, throwing all players against the wall and taking them to 1hp, as arthas turns to escape Sylvanas leaps from her hiding place fires an arrow from her bow catches the arrow in mid fckin air and stabs it through arthas' throat... that is the only way that fight can end, if it doesnt end that way, i never doing IC, at least not killing Arthas

@Daemonbane: As I recall, the mistake Blizzard felt they made with Illidan was not so much that he was killable. The problem was that he was killable as early as patch 2.1, only about 4 months after Burning Crusade was released (well, plus the time it would take to attune and stuff). That left the game at a bit of a loss afterward: Patch 2.2 didn't really add anything to the world (built-in voice chat was the main thing), 2.3 was mainly Zul'Aman, which was more of a side venture (the loot was inferior to Black Temple, for example), so it wasn't until 2.4 that new actual progression was added with the Sunwell stuff, 10 months after Black Temple.

By comparison, Wrath has seen new stuff added with every major patch: Ulduar in 3.1, Coliseum in 3.2 (though I believe most of the coding effort went toward Isle of Conquest), and in 3.3 we're getting Icecrown. Then I suppose we settle in and wait for Cataclysm some time in spring.

It would be cool to fight Arthas and then you knock Ner'zhul from his body. Then you fight Ner'Zhul. A Death Knight-ish Boss, just with Shaman like attacks instead of the Paladin like ones.

How about something truly memorable. For example a scene where there is the liche king with a few of his champions left surrounded by the entirety off the argent crusade/ebon blade, alliance and horde and you (the chosen heroes of your factions) and the faction leaders have it out with the liche king and his last few mighty warriors to the death. For kicks you could probably get the nathreziem involved too. They would probably like to take a shot at arthas too. Alternatively of course the boss of cataclysm could make an appearance and the end of the scourge is actually the start of a whole new war.

have you thought that they will make Lich King IMPOSIBLE to kill and he will stay in that instance forever? ^_^

I think that he is going to die by a goblin sitting on a rocket

I've actually come up with another way. What if in the conflict, somehow, Jaina (as it is likely the Alliance and Horde will all be there, regardless of which faction is in the instance) uses herself to protect one of the leaders (Thrall for example? Whoever steps forth to engage a beaten down Arthas?) and in the process is either injured or even killed. In seeing the one person who he never thought he'd see again dying, Arthas (the human within) could fight through the Lich King, throw his helm from his head, and offer to the Light his own life for hers. Then, after destroying Frostmourn himself, he takes up a holy sword (Ashbringer? Quel-dalar?) and stabs himself, thus freeing and redeeming his own soul, and making the Light (possibly the Naaru? Since they did take up that one paladin during that quest chain in Northrend) would resurrect Jaina (or heal her if she's just mortally wounded). Then, after a lot of talking, maybe a cinamatic, we finally get the end of the freakin struggle.

personally i think that there are 2 people that could kill arthas aka the lich king.

and those 2 people are, tirion fordering (sp?) and jaina. Jiana is such a big role in the whole story of this and tirion really wants to beat this shit out of this guy.

But there is also morgrain who swore at the end of the death knight starting area that he would kill arthas, so that could be possible.
If you people are up for it i think that a combined force of tirion, mograin, and jaina will acompany us in the struggle to kill him, like the illidain fight but WAY more epic.

there you go and live with it.

"Take that a step further - what if, by chance, Arthas knew that taking up the Frostmourne would eventually kill the Lich King by giving him a human form, and he was willing to lose himself in the process? Would the end justify the means?"

The raid freezes at 1%....The Ner'Zhul part of the Lich King says "What's that smell?" and then arthas takes a gun and shoots himself in the head. Ner'Zhul dies and Arthas survives...

Fight Club reference for people who suck and never saw it

epic fight scene of jaina, mograin, garrosh, varian, tirion, and sylvanas owning arthas would be ftw \\m//

The end of the Arthas book is pretty clear on the fact that redemption is not an option for his thing.

I call it a "thing" because Arthas is NOT hiding in there somewhere. Neither is whatever remains of the original Ner'zhul. The two ceased to exist when Arthas donned the Lich King's armor.

We're going to have to kill this thing.

His death by Jaina's hand lends a definite Romeo & Juliet quality to the story; but, his death by Sylvanas' hand in an act of righteous retribution is, by all means, on par with death from a lover's hand.

Either way, I'm not going to being crying when I loot his battered corpse.

I think Arthas (the good one) is going to kill himself and ner'zhul at the same time with the use of frostmourn (after all the sword takes souls, then it's the only weapon that could destroy the lich king)

At blizcon*i think* they said that arthas will die and he will have a great death video..being aliiance im hopeing for a icebolt to the faace from jania/horde would be an arrow for slyvanas.but perhaps we can save all the souls of the people arthas has killed with the frost mourne?* question...after the litchking dies the undead and deathknights will die again..so..what ..happens..to.me?...uh oh
