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.

Constant complaining is also an integral part of the patching process.

damm you I am trying to do homework!

Likewise. I have been trying to put the finishing touches on a paper for hours, only to be distracted by 3.3 hype.
Curse you blizzard for releasing the biggest patch of the expansion smack in the middle of finals. I'm sure other college wow players are in the same boat, trying to keep on track with finals, but not wanting to miss the 3.3 goodness.

Tried streaming it, choppy video and audio, so I decided to download it. The downloading stopped half way through, and now I can't get back to the website.
Alex Dec 8th 2009 6:00PM
It's not quite as awesome as the 3.2 cinematic, but holy crap, that is awesome.
