Blizzard has finally released the official trailer for Patch 3.3: Fall of the Lich King. You can view it over on their site right now, or just enjoy it via the YouTube video embedded above. The Blizzard site is extremely slow right now, so we recommend just watching it here.
The trailer sends chills down your spine, especially if you've been paying attention to the lore of Warcraft since the RTS games back in the 90's and early 2000's. It shows a certain very important figure in Arthas' life, letting him know the Fall of the Lich King is bound to take place.
For additional information about the lore in this patch, check out our article on the Lore of Patch 3.3. To see more of the dungeons and have a bit more of the story explained to you, check out vodka's trailer.
We understand that the YouTube trailer might be taking some time to load. There's a lot of people trying to access everything at once, and most internet services are getting bogged down. WoW.com is on AOL webservers, so we should be fine, but other sites, include Blizzard's sites, are not able to handle the load as well.

I knew I'd seen Arthas somewhere before:

He's right, it even says so on the site you linked to:
"To show plural possession, make the noun plural first. Then immediately use the apostrophe.
Examples: two boys' hats "
The phrase "Arthas's life" does not imply PLURAL possession (unless he's a cat and has many lives). Singular possession would be "Arthas's" as also mentioned on the site you linked to:
"NOTE: Although names ending in s or an s sound are not required to have the second s added in possessive form, it is preferred.
Mr. Jones's golf clubs"
Though "preferred" means everyone's a winner.

I wish they wouldn't just kill him off since someone is going to have to come in and replace Arthas just the same. It's like how they kill off all the "villians" in the Spiderman movies... just doesn't seem right.

A rich trailer, loved it.
But;
With Wrath being such an anticipated expansion due to the shelving of one of the best fleshed out characters in Warcraft lore, I truly expected from the beginning for this moment to heralded with a Blizzard cinematic. I think the expansion and the character really deserved one for a closer. The dude, I believe, sold the games- from The Frozen Throne to the MMO. People bought the game to see what was up with the new era of Scourge badassery, way back in Vanilla I mean. It would make a nice arc too: though three cinematics already have Arthas, only two feature the Lich king- a third one would create a high detail story of beginning, middle, end.
It's a colossal workload though, and understandibly an unrealistic task, but perhaps one's yet to be seen - who thinks that Blizzard might somehow slip in a clip when we finally shatter Frostmourne in the final battle? That might be the better way to go about it actually....
Not a complaint; just the thought process.
(This clip is still a solid in-game film rightly there)
