We're very excited to announce this special contest in tandem with Blizzard's own contest to give away 5 hardcover copies of Arthas: Rise of the Lich King -- Christie Golden's new novel coming out on April 21st that tells the story of Arthas, and how he slowly crept into darkness and became Azeroth's greatest villain yet!

From April 8th, 2009 to April 20th, 2009 you'll be able to submit your entries, and on April 21st -- the day the book is released -- we'll be selecting the winners to receive their very own copy.  The reviews thus far have been excellent; many proclaiming it as the best Blizzard novel yet, so even if you're not a book-lover, this is certainly a collector's piece you'll want to own as a World of Warcraft fan.

Top 5 Things You'd Do As The Lich King

So you've fused with the most powerful shaman in existence and command the vast undead armies of Azeroth, but you've got 12 Million people trying to kill you, what do you do? We'd like to see your ideas, how you'd ensure your own survival, how you'd prevail against the masses, or anything else you'd do if you were the Lich King! Would you dig an escape route, take a left turn at Albuquerque, or just downgrade to Burning Crusade? Be creative! We will read everything that's posted!

The rules for the contest are pretty simple; winners will be determined by the staff here at Curse. Your entry should be at least four (4) paragraphs long and We have 5 books total to giveaway so there will be 5 winners! Winners will be judged on creativity, ability to make us laugh, and the overall level of detail/intrigue to your ideas or post. Post your entry here on this forum! Winners will be selected April 21st to coincide with the release of the book; Arthas: Rise of the Lich King!

Firstly, I'd do a much better job of masterminding the takeover of the world than the old Arthas did. I mean, posting Undead all around the globe is pretty fun, but most of the time they just sit there and stagnate! For one, having all of those super cool monsters in Naxxramas mouldering away until a well-equipped group of adventurers comes to eviscerate them is not cricket. I'd take all of the monsters, evil beings and legions of powerful creatures out of their little hidey-holes and send them on a colossal rampage over Azeroth! Imagine the damage Maexxna could do in Stranglethorn vale, or letting loose Sapphiron in Ironforge?

Second on my list: Dominion over Azeroth isn't NEARLY enough for me; I'm headed to Outland! I've heard rumours of 'Naaru' or something in the Outlands, and I can't wait to suck the power from their bodies and claim it as my own.

Thirdly, I'd resurrect all my old heroes- Elvis, Gandhi, and all those chaps, and hold a massive sleepover. Sleeping bags spread over the floor of Icecrown Citadel; it's gonna be great! I wonder if Heath Ledger likes Doritos...

Fourth, when I have finally taken over the world, I will travel to the top of the Blackrock Mountain, and assemble all of my undead subjects before me along the floor. My enslaved Gnome technicians will set up a bodacious rocking stage, and after I've learned to play, I'll unleash the greatest bass rock solo ever upon my subjects, and they'll cheer for me (If they don't want to spend an eternity in agonising torment)!

Fifth, and finally, I am going to raise my own (better) version of the Playboy Mansion in the depths of Icecrown, with hundreds of Bunnies to serve my every whim. As I'm dead, this will probably be limited to mixing awesome cocktails and stuff like that, but it'd still rock!

 nooooooooo!! you stole my idea!!!

First of all, I would totally get rid of those meddlng kids, AKA Tirion, Varian, Thrall amd anyone else of their respective gangs I left out. I mean, fair enough I've slaughtered millions in a demented and potentially phychopathic way, but couldn't they give this ol' King a break?! Sheesh...

Second I would get rid of the main character. I seem to have this ego complex where I can never actually kill a player. Like in Gundrak; he was RIGHT in front of me, and I simply laughed, waved my awesome blade around and promised a gruesome demise. I never did this before, why do I suddenly feel like a puppet?!

Thirdly, it would have to be a holiday, without a doubt. I've been so caught up in work I haven't had time to concentrate on family matters. So maybe I'll leave my friend Kel in charge of things and I'll have a nice break in the sun. I hear Pluto is nice at this time of year....

Fourthly, I would, before I kill him horribly and burn his soul to ashes, have tea and crumpets with the King of Stormwind. You know, like proper king do. Mmm.... apricot marmalade...

And finally, once the world is populated entirely by Scourge, I will invest in a bathrobe, a pair of slippers and replace Frostmourne with a walking stick. I'll buy a nice house in Winterspring and watch the credits roll on my life (metaphorically speaking of course)

#1:  I would walk into all the major alliance and horde cities, and cause unimaginable chaos, if by some stroke of luck on their side i should be gravely wounded, i would just call my frostwym army down and destroy the city from the sky, while calling my own frostbrood vanquisher and ridig higher in the sky and watching the chaos spread, and command my army to go into the kings chamber and kill him/her, thus demoralizing all their forces and rendering them lambs to the slaughter.

#2:  Using all of the bodies from the major cities, i would raise them as ghouls and combine them into one unimaginably powerful abomination, and let it loose across azeroth causing chaos everywhere!

#3:  I would take my rampage into Outlands, go into Shattrath, where the some of the remaining evacuees would undoubtedly be, and, with the half of my armies i brought with me, wipe out that city.

#4:  I would gather all of my armies back into northrend, and announce, "Look at all of the destruction and chaos we have wrought unto those weaklings! We have but one final goal:  destroying Dalaran!"

#5 I would send all of my legions of undead from all over Azeroth, Outlands, and Northrend, thus using the full force of my strength, and destroy Dalaran, proving, once and for all, I am the most powerful being in existence!

So far so good; keep em commin guys :D

1. Have a ghoul as a footrest.

2. Send prank mail to the capital cities, Both horde and allies.

3. Steal a dragon

4. Walk straight in ogramar and yell FREE GOLD and fly off.

5. Have a nice tan on the winter spring beeches.

1. Assassanate Chuck Noris <---- Can't Be Done, Even By The Lich King.

2. Kill every Halo 3 noob on Earth.

3. Eliminate the TV Star known as Barney.

4. Resurrect Franklin D. Roosevelt.

5. Lead the largest raid on Ogramar in Warcraft History.

1. Dance

2. Dance

3. Dance

4. Dance

5. Get an STD

Here are the 5 things I would do:

1. Kill someone who has some Pappa Hummel's Pet Biscuits - Making my undead pets etc huge can really scare other people...Sapphiron is big, but with a pappa hummel pet biscuit on him....HE WILL BE HUGE!

2. Secondly I would capture a ton of murlocs (and I mean a ton) and make them all undead, then use some of my pet biscuits on them and that would make sure no-one would mess with me - not with loads of giant undead murlocs on my side :P (it seems that the zombies and undead trolls arent scaring or stopping Azeroth's finest warriors :( )

3. Thirdly I would bully the staff of curse into giving me a book on my history, it would make me feel powerful and like a big celebratory. "Ohh yeah look at that sexy hardback book on me!"

4. My fourth action would be to have a nice tea party with the Kalu'ak Walrus Men. Nothing beats a nice cuppa ;) The selection of teas would be Honeymint Tea, Tea with Sugar, Goldthorn Tea, Green Garden Tea and Thistle Tea. And the Kalu'ak, they are alright, I will try to make peace with them.

5. Lastly I would throw Dalaran back to its little whole in Alterac, it and its lag shouldnt be spoiling MY DOMAIN!

If I were the Lich King I would kill me self like 10 times and return as a ghoul to give all my lvl 80 tier to my mage on gul'dan.

then i wud kill the guy who made flying mount training so damn expensive...

3rd i wud make my own server that makes it so that all the realms reduce lag, so there NO lag at all.

4th id make mages more over-powered by hacking blizzard and making it so

5th id finally enjoy WoW when this is all done

-First, we will return to our throne in icecrown citatel and make a trap to trick some of the poor humans closer to icecrown, kill them all and rise a big undead army!

-Then, we will use the grait frost wyrm king, Sindragora, to wake up an army of wyrms to break down the great wrymrest tower and take controll of the whole wrymrest keep!

-And after that, we will use my new army to kill the horde highlords and the horde with them!

-And so will we break down aliance and varian wrymm with it, to create the strongest undead army the world ever seen!

-And at last, we will send my giant army to finaly crush the argent crusade and take over azeroth once and for all!

Then, with frostmourne in my hand, the word is ours! and nothing can ever stop us!!!

Then we only have Outland left...

If I were The Lich King…

I would make every single Death Knight who betrayed me obey me once again. They would add to my scourge army that one day I’ll do something with…

I would have an epic battle with Alexstrasza and the red dragonflight. An extraordinary battle between Frost wyrm’s, my scourge army, and death knight’s (I told you I’d do something with them) against red drakes, red wyrms, and her consorts. 

I would invade the capital cities of the Horde and Alliance and turn the kings into my scourge servants. 

I would run CoT4 to see myself in the past. Lich King “Oh boy, I’ve gained a few pounds.” 

I would make a chain of McMenethil’s around Northrend and sell mini frostmourne toys, and sell Chaotic Evil meals (You’ll never guess what the secret recipe is, I guess Ner’zhul wasn’t only an expert shaman but also an expert chef.”

Well, that’s what I would do if I were the Lich King.

:-)

1st: I would log on to my überly geared lvl 99 Blizzard Developer and spread the rumor that I'm too awesome to kill. And with my awesome "GhostCrawler" skills, invent an excuse and delay the last patch so much I'll never be met.

2nd: Get something to drink and start yelling at my useless minions I somehow hired and thought they could do the job of killing those pesky players.

3rd: Write an autobiography while having a caffein shock.

4th: Respec to Frost and start thinking of what to do in the next expansion. Plus I'll start leveling my tradingskills: Boneshaping and Corpseharvesting.

5th: Participate in the Curse Contest to win Christie Goldens book. ABOUT ME!! MUHAHAHAHA!!

First!: I will prepare the Nachos with cheese, for no man can conquer worlds on an empty stomach.

Then i would get to work on my own preferences and of those that live besides me. I have seen how Arthas has not taken credit into the preferations of his man. and this, my friends, is a "Morale killer". so to say, i would have Central Heathers placed all around the Citadel. after that, i would make sure that my Cultists would not aimlessly wander around outside in CLOTH ROBES. Any idea how many of them freeze to death daily?(ofcourse that does supply corpses)

When such small things have been fixed, i would do something about my minions. Visiting Kel'Thuzad once every week to ressurect him, just so he can be killed again minutes later is such a bummer.

Also i would round up my army of Frostwyrms and blow up the City floating right in the middle of MY continent.....It blocks my view over the sea...wich calms me down.

And finnaly i'd hunt that WITCH Sylvanas, Nobody says no to Arthas baby.

First and foremost, I'd take the time to laugh upon the puny "heroes" of Azeroth, who supposedly braved the vast lands of Kalimdor, Eastern Kingdoms, and the abandoned wasteland called Outlands.  To think that after defeating the various small minions I've left behind in my path of death, the Burning Legion, and Illidan, a foe I defeated (before even wearing this crown) with ease, they assume they have the power to take on the Lich King.  It's a laughing riot to even consider them a serious threat! Hahaha!

I'd begin my new campaign...the various weaker beings who caused these "heroes" difficulty are the best weapons to use to defeat them; beings such as the mana-addicted wizard, the self-proclaimed "Prince of the Blood Elves", Kael'thas Sunstrider.  Using my power over death, I would revive him as an undead being.  His reputation tells me he joins whoever is the most powerful (for the third time).  I'd revive Illidan as well, making him the same king of underling he was as part of the Burning Legion.  Various others are to be added to my legions, each becoming more powerful under my hand, including the son of the great Saurfang...to see the face of his father would make it worth it.

The large number of Death Knights that have betrayed me are becoming more and more of a nuisance.  With the knowledge of the shaman once known as Nerzhul, I will create a vacuum of death, strong enough to draw in the very raw force of unholy magic.  With this very vacuum I shall reclaim all of the powers of the Death Knights as they attempt to destroy me, reverting them to the hopeless corpses they once were. (Seriously, DKs need to go)

I shall gather my most powerful of undead followers to snatch away large numbers of females from the Blood Elf, Night Elf, and Human races (and maybe Draenei) to the Icecrown Citadel.  There they shall become my slaves...

Using my great power and channeling the powers of the Arcane from the revived Kael'thas, I will create a large ball of energy.  Though it may take time, this ball of energy will absorb all of the life energy within its surroundings, sucking it into what I call a "Spirit Bom--Meteor".  This very sphere will be launched at the combined forces of Azeroth, causing a catastrophic explosion, killing the forces.  The aftermath will cause floods and earthquakes, natural disasters of all kinds to destroy whatever remains of the forces and creating a natural barrier between them and I.  Their fate will be sealed, so will Free--I mean, and so will free will. (-cough-)

ALJENDE ! Dont copy my ideas ;)

O.O sorry :O didn't see there were a second page :P

1. Take over every continent, both known and unknown, in all of WoW!!!

2. Have a wicked rave with all survivers of my conquest.

3. Make every person give me all of there gold and belongings.

4. Make those same people squeal and run away in fear, as I laugh at my victory.

5. Find a nice human girl and...........................

First I'd make an Alliance with Illidian, to have both the Undead and Demon army in azeroth, then when Illidian got here I would kill him and take control of the Demon army, that way before they couldnt even take on the demon army before they did but they were alone, now with my undead army nothing will stop them.

Secondly, I would make a treaty with Zul'Aman to help clear out those annoying Blood elves and slowly send a plague to Zul'Aman to make them become all undead and buala, I get another million troops of undead

Then I would destroy the forsaken,  I would send a rampage of demon and undead armies they would have no chance and since they would have no Allies they would die(Because they are all neutral except for the Blood Elves)

After that I would go to Darnassus and Exodar those cities are the most cities away from everyone, especiallyy Exodar who is my first Target, after I turn undead all the Draenei travelers who go and enter the city will die in there and never get out, then I would send Boats and Zepplings filled with undead and demons that would take care of those annoying night elves.

After that I would take control of all the west side of Kalimdor and attack Thunder Bluff and all of Mulgore, I would destroy the druids, from all the Cities and they will get extinct. And Undead Taurens, :D tuff as ever.

Then after that Only Ogrimmar, Stormwind, and IronForge will be left, I would would go to Ogrimmar and make they hopefully surrender, if they do, I would send all of the nasty orcs into Ironforge, and while they are busy I would attack and control Stormwind.

After the orcs die in Iironforge I would go there with my undead and demon troops and destroy Iironforge destroying all the major cities, I would set the Plague in  Ogrimmar to kill all the left alive Orcs, and then go and take my revenge on the Argent Crusade, when they all die, I would attack Ulduar and take the treasures hidden in there(If they are treasures in there).
 
Obviously kill all the demons(incase they start a rebellion) and let the demons take care of Shatthrath with all the races nearly in extintion , they wont have any help but the small camps left on Blade edge and Zangmarash etc.

THATSS WHAT I WOULD DO
