according to blizz, Frostwing hall is a different zone to the frozen throne You may want to edit that, i don't see them releasing 2 area's on one day.
Blizzard doesn't want to reveal anything about the Lich King fight, but I feel pretty certain we'll also see a limiting mechanic on Arthas himself. Maybe the one hour of attempts thing, or perhaps something different.
Do you really need so many attempts? So far ICC was not very "hard" but I could not visit the latest bosses, yet. Most Raidguilds will beat them in a few tries and PUGs will not wipe 20+ times before they break apart. So more attempts seem pointless. :)
We'll get to kill Arthas in February lol...Random person #1: "So, how did you spend your Valentine's Day?"Random person #2: "It was great, me and my (girlfriend / boyfriend) went out to dinner and they bought me a box of chocolates! What about you Steve?Steve the WoW player: "1t wuz awsum, w3 d1d 1CC n k3pt w1p1n 0n t3h l1ch k1ng, r1t3 b4 0ur l4st 4tmpt wuz up, w3 d0wn3d h1m n g0t ph4t 3p1x!11!1! and 1 g0t sh4d0wm0urn3!1!1!Both random people: ...................... that's umm, nice.Random person #1 to Random person #2 (silently): Promise me you won't turn into a WoW freak like that guy....Random person #2: WoW? Eeeew, you got nothing to worry about.*both laugh*
I like the attemp system. It makes that only good raid can get to the end and not just raid with lots of time.
My guess would be that this is Blizzard's attempt (har-har) to focus on guilds that have skill, versus say in Sunwell Plateau where it was widely guessed that the world firsts were a result of guilds wiping on the bosses for 5+ hours on the bosses, say for instance Nihilum on Eredar Twins.
