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

My plated fist smashes the ice crusted on the arm of my chair. I weary of these childish games, of sitting on this blighted throne of ice like some sort of dying beast while petty miscreants chew at my heels, squabbling over baubles and scraps of armor. The memories of conquest past rasp against the edges of my mind, and it makes me... angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.

If there was one lesson that dear old dad taught me, it was divide and conquer, so the first step is to fan the flames of hatred that keep the pathetic Horde and Alliance at one another's throat. It would be child's play to alter the appearance of my scourge footsoldiers to look like those rebellious Forsaken and begin a series of attacks on human outposts in an expanding ring centered on the Undercity. My leaving the enclaves at Brill and Trisfal Glades untouched will only cement the Forsaken's culpability. The natural Alliance retaliation will be perceived by the Horde as unprovoked aggression and the dogs of war will slip free with renewed ferocity.

Unseen amid the smoke of battle, I will send my armies to seize control of the Dark Portal and Shattrath itself, placing a stranglehold on the ability of Horde and Alliance alike to move their forces between the great lands. I will mirror this bold move with sending a cadre of stealthy rogue engineers to carry on a covert campaign of sabotage on the Zepplins, further crippling their ability to mass and repel my attacks.

There is, as they say, no place like home, and yet for the puny little insects, home has been safe for so long it has become a forgotten weakness that I will pry open with glee and chew on the juicy bits inside. Let us see how long they flock to the front lines in Icecrown when their women and children run screaming in the streets of their birthplaces. How will they hold high their vaunted honor when they cannot protect the weakest of their children? What amusing training fro my young Death Knights to wreak havoc on these sentimental targets.

And behold I saw a rider upon a pale horse... ah yes, disease. How very amusing it was to watch as my scourge infection tore through the streets and back alleys of the cities of Azeroth. If only they knew that was just a test of a far more insidious contagion. A disease that lies dormant, infectious without symptoms, unleashing only under certain conditions with a feral, bloodthirsty malevolence. The blood siphoned from the Sons of Arugal made a fitting start, but it took my own dark magicks to perfect it.In the midst of chaos, it will be unleashed in every major city. People will fear gathering, will shy away from groups. Divided, they will be easy prey.

Lastly... traps. A long-forgotten art, the hallways of my dungeons have lost their fearfulness as even the rogues run heavy-footed and careless. Falling stones. Snapping blades. Sprays of acid and flame. Nets laced with fishhooks... ah, those were the good old days. Perhaps I'll even trap a few items, add an interesting bit of risk to blithely slamming that purple helmet on your head without looking. I'm certain that my warlocks can come up with a few easy-to-apply curses that will add some... persistance to the mix. I doubt ther are but a few who even remember how to look for traps, and fewer yet with the skill to defeat them. Lets see them race through a dungeon then...

I rock back in my throne and note the odd sensation of a grin tugging at my graven features. Is it a trick of the light, or do my eyes glow with a more sinister flame? I sigh and nod slowly, mulling the ideas in my head like an old wine. Yes, I mutter softly, yes indeed. It is good to be King.

Holstein of Rexxar

1) Dance (if I want to)

2) Leave my friends behind

3) Dress real neat from my hat to my feet

4) Take lessons from Darth Vader on learning how to "force choke" when I cast Strangulate

5) I would succeed in taking over the World (of Warcraft) if only it wasn't for all those pesky kids and their dog.

1. I would make the blizzard servers not suck. And patches download in seconds not hours. Causeing all of the densines of azaroth to love me.

2. i would kill all the densines or azaroth.. A mans gotta have some long term project going right?

3. I would build a better house and invite MTv cribs into it. Who doesn't think a wow warlord should be on tv... i'd have to hide the dugeons though...

4. I'd work on picking some quality people for my army.. not some lame goofoffs that get killed by 5 adventures.. I mean come one.. I'm the freaking lich king... seriously. i should hire a temp servise or something to do my recruiting for me...

5. I'd sit back and relaxe by my pool dirnking something cold. with My helmet off.

First Order all Blood elfs would report to my Work camps Throughout Northrend (With No Snow Boots BWAHAHAHA)

Second Make Hawkstrider and Kodo Stew With A hint of Peacebloom In the stew (What? a lich King cant like Aromatics in his stew?)

Third Conquer all Major Citys (Including Dalaran And Shatt)

Fourth Release All Conquerd Citys and there inhabitants

Fifth Re Conquer The Citys And Take a Nice Soak in The Stranglethorn Sun (After i kill all those Pesky Murlocs and Nagas)

Number One- I would march my vast Scourge army upon Ulduar and Defeat Yog-Sarron to claim his power as my own. Once I'm the new god of Death, I will raise all of those who were slain throught the time line of Azeroth and rule Azeroth with an iron-fist. Whoever challenges me will taste the tip of Frostmourne and become my eternal servant.

Number Two- I will slay the Dragon Queen, Alexstraza, and raise her soulless corpse as my personal mount. Once that is done, I will convert the last of the Dragon Aspects into my personal servants. Nozdormu will go back in time and bring Deathwing, the Black Dragon Aspect, and crush his mind so that while he still has his soul, he shall serve me unflinchingly and do so knowing that he has betrayed the races of Azeroth and the Titans who created him.

Number Three- Outlands WILL BE MINE. My army will march across the forgotten realm and crush every living thing that survives in its reaches. The Narru shall use their precious "Light" for malicious purposes and travel back to their homeworld to conquer it and bring it under my control. I will also travel to Shadowmoon Valley and enter the Black Temple. Illidan Stormrage will stand no chance against me and fall under my command. After I have turned Illidan Stormrage, I will give him powers he's never dreamed of and send him to destroy the forces of demons commanded by Archimonde.

Number Four- I will personally murder the leaders of the Alliance and the Horde myself, raising their corpses to become the generals of my army. They would march their forces upon their capitals and take them in the name of the Lich King. Once that is done, the slain shall rise and go forth into Azeroth to enact chaos to the world. Any survivng towns shall fall under the weight of the Scourge army and burn to the ground from an unholy fire.

Number Five- Once all of the other four have been completed, I will retire to my Kingdom's capital of Icecrown and wait. Wait for all eternity and look down upon my vanquished foes turned into my loyal minions and laugh at the irony of the failures who vowed to to avenge their fallen comrades and destroy my immortal self.

(1)  The first thing I would do is arrange a body double. That way the 12 million people gunning for me would be aiming for the wrong target.  I would then conceal myself near to the body double in an unexpected form.  Like a prisoner, pet or woman.  Arthas in heels, feathers or chains.  Or all three.

(2) Arrange an escape scenario.  Eventually the 12 million are going to get me.  So I need to control the situation.  When things look dire I can stage my own death and escape to a back up character.  No one is going to come looking if they already think I am dead.

(3) Armies of undead is all very well but if I really want world domination I would take over the Auction House.  A cut of everything bought and sold and control of the supply of anything and everything.  That is where the real power lies.  No one would be gunning for me and if they even noticed their subjugation they would probably see it as a service.  I would be worshipped for my power by all factions.  True domination.

(4) Go on a diet.  Have you seen how the world shakes and the King's body wobbles as he walks?

(5) Take a course in personal hygiene.  All that slime, mold and noxious steam can't be healthy or comfortable. And he never changes his clothes!  He could probably kill through smell alone.  A new wardrobe, a bath and personal body servants would be very nice.

1.Kick all the trogs and leper gnomes out of gnomer once and for all, then turn into Azeroth's great night club charging a 20 gold cover. "Use your sweat to fuel awesome rave parties" 

2.Use my illegal stat changer to destroy n00bz in the BGs. 200000 crit

3. Get new acount after being banned for illegal stat changer.

4.Ride around on my Epic undead dragon cruising for chicks

5.Get bored and create a bard hero alt

Firstly, ill kill all gold farmer,

secondly, ill kill all begger,

thirdly, ill kill all noob,

finally, ill kill hobbs and give his gear to my minion BATHLEIER- Please go to WOW europe armory and enter "BATHLEIER" to look at my character from WOW.

THERE THAT MY LIST OF THING TO DO WHEN I TAKE OVER THE WORLD OF AZEROTH... OR WILL I......

well here is my list:

1. Rob the Ironforge bank. (maybe take Stormwind as an extra) - As im not too good at making money, and i take it just sticking my frostmourne around the door should do enough if u get my point.

2. Demand an answer when asking the human and orc ambassadors just outside the dark portal in the blasted lands. WHAT THE HELL they are talking about. Cause like.. Illidan is dead? get over it?

3. Create a company called Arthasnic (arctic/arthas get it?) which produces bottles of mineral water. Cause hell, in my earlier days as lich king i have, very much likely contaminated about every river,stream,sea,watersupply-tank with ''the plague'' i could find. or well could have get found. i dont do that stuff myself. i got like.. minions for that. And hell people need water so KA$CHING'! Added to that i might ask Archaedas from Uldaman to be my partner cause' i heard hes good at marketing. I mean hell.. did u see that treasury behind him! :O

4. Get personnel in a sneaky way. Giving them quests like: Wanted!: You!. With a paycheck as reward of course. Monthly.. (Overhours are not covered for by the way..) And whoever tries to strike and abort his work. Well read my lore, should warn you enough to be honest. But everything put aside im a pretty easy-going and friendly boss although i may seem a bit  cold sometimes..

5. Nag someone's picnic basket and parasol. Not the spectral tiger? No, cause as lichking you dont get to sit in the sun as much. And its always cold. And a see-through mount doesn't quite cut it then. BUT a nice vacation at the Tanaris beach would do me good. Though i need to bring my sun-protector or ill burn most likely. Thats what u get when u hardly see the sun.

1. Spec Titan's Grip (He's Arthas, he can spec into whatever he wants)

2. Dual Wield Frostmourne and a 2H Nerfbat

3. Nerf all classes, NPC's, gear, and vehicles to the point where they do 10dps in full epics.

4. Watch as all 12 million players quit the game.

5. Reign over a dead, empty and peaceful land.

Open a ski resort.

Install hot tubs.

Hire some hot staff (keep the ghouls for back of house work).

Have mad parties.

Charge copious amounts of gold for entrance.

After I ran past all the reds that were going to attack me on sight but failed at noticing me because I'm forty levels above them, taking my Best Man with me since I needed a consultant help to form my plan.

We came up with five ideas and not all went so well.

Plan NO. 1: We sent in our Top Spy to find out what they were planning against us, unfortuantly he came back later and MAJORLY threatened us as he was turned against our cause.

Plan NO. 2: I sent in a mindless gnome to infiltrate a town named goldshire which I thought was a much better idea I then learnt that a warning had gone out against my minions, which meant I needed to find a new form of minion. I also found out about an evil monstrosity named "Hogger" I do believe Ill recruit him to my army.

Plan NO. 3: I found a new stronghold that seems to keep EVERYBODY scared away from interfearing in my devious plans, while I was here I found a new mischievess creatuere that were agile in land and unerwater, although lacking in sky dominating abilitys I'm sure by traning them in the ability to throw shoes would suffice for that. These creatures named Otters were far too cute, I made them watch films with Nicole Kidman in them and corrupted them to suit my dastardly deeds. In the latest ogrimmar daily the top story was "AN OTTER ATE MY BABY!" Mwahahaha my evil minions are making a name for themselves!

Plan NO. 5: Well my otter assault on the stormwind harbor and front seemed to of failed as they were ALL hugged to death. I am now working on my new scheme to grant myself more minions, I've taken an interest in a new minion but it seems simply killing them and ressurecting them, but alas I shall no stop until I've reached my dream of converting enough living to create an army large enough to reinact the mega musical grease starring myself as danny =D

Side note, no otters were harmed in the making of this fictional story.

I would donate a sword to each of the orphans of Stormwind City and Orgrimmar so i can have people be pwnage after i hit the dust.

ok

1. kill stormwinds stupid king

2. kill thrall ....

3. kill the stormrage bothers XD

4. build an gaigantc army

5. take over azeroth and out land >=D

+ i ll / evil lol XD muhahahhahah

Well, this is quite an opportunity to reveal my evil plans to the World of Azeroth. Let's see now...

First of all, I'd stop with the whole "Ha ha ha, I'm an Evil King and I am going to launch an easy-to-defeat army of undead at the main Horde and Alliance cities in the hopes of luring adventurers into my Citadel!". The person before me, this... Spoiled brat named Arthas... Was way too soft on the living, he needed to be replaced as soon as possible. Why would I need to corrupt adventurers, anyways? I have Frostmourne and the numbers of creatures in my army are immense. Of course that this would be too difficult to change, considering that it already happened.

1: What Arthas had planned was ridiculous and would not have ensured the destruction of life, at all, since if you want to lure people into your domain for fun you -have- to weaken them first. If I would have sent Undead Dragons and all of my undead creatures to assault the capital cities of Azeroth as soon as people were busy battling Illidan and Kil'Jaeden, so by the time they got back to Azeroth they would find out that everything they ever loved has been destroyed and that every little bit of hope for a brighter future has been demolished. Oh, how much would I laugh at their screams for mercy as their cities turn into ashes. But, as I have stated above, that foolish Arthas -once again- made a fatal mistake in not carrying out my plan.

2: Second, if I notice that well-geared people are coming all the way to my Citadel in Northrend in order to challenge me at my Frozen Throne, I would offer The Horde an obviously false reward of salvation from my wrath, but I'd ask them to destroy Valiance Keep and destroy the Alliance Resistance in the Frozen North, forcing them to retreat. Afterwards, the Horde would be slaughtered after Warsong Hold recieves a direct assault from Naxxramas. I could have eliminated both forces quite easily, but ensuring that both factions stop working for a "common goal" makes things easier for me.

3: Oh, let's not forget about the Ebon Hold. I would have placed some sort of binding spell in every single Death Knight, forcing them to do my will or they would be destroyed on the spot. Having almost all of the Death Knights at Ebon Hold suddenly having a change of heart is pathetic, how could the previous Lich King not see it coming or didn't make any kind of plan in case such a thing were to happen? Oh, right, he has been dreaming for over three years. It seems that dreaming didn't make him more intelligent, however, since his plans for global domination are failing miserably. This would be simply addressed by- Who am I kidding? I would assault the Ebon Hold and retake it, since I will be using it for step five.

4: Once the Alliance and the Horde retreat from Northrend, I would set my sight upon the Burning Legion to see if I can prevent them from ever reaching Azeroth, which would technically be on the brink of submitting to my eternal power thanks to the destruction of the capital cities and the undead sieges which happened shortly before. Once the Burning Legion is ensured that they will never reach Azeroth, mostly thanks to me eventually finding a way to seal the Dark Portal once again, The Maelstrom would be my next target... Oh, wait, I seem to be forgetting about the Horde and the Alliance, who are -obviously- attempting to bolster their forces. As for the Burning Legion, I'm quite aware I cannot hold them off from Azeroth forever.

5: I am aware that this final plan is way too long and detailed, but it is made this way to ensure that the chances of the Alliance and the Horde launching a full-scale assault at Icecrown Citadel, which could compromise my safety, are next to null, or so I want to believe.

Both factions are persistent, so there is no doubt that they will attempt to come after me once again. Before they can do that, however, I would re-take the Ebon Hold after slaughtering the traitorous Death Knights and launch a combined assault with Naxxramas to eliminate all kind of resistance that both factions might be working on. Afterwards, the Tainted Soil will begin to spread over Azeroth... Slowly... So that people may succumb to despair. Hope is all lost and people will try to have me save them. I'm -quite- merciful, to say the least, so I would allow them to kindly join my army, all they would have to do is to kill their own children or family, depends on my mood and if the person even has a family left.

Ah, but that's not all, and I decided to post the final step of my plans for global domination, just because I'm highly ambitious and I enjoy long and detailed plans. I would let several members of both factions survive the invasion of Kalimdor and The Eastern Kingdoms, only so that they attempt to challenge me once again so I can greatly enjoy eliminating them. Where's the fun if I suddenly decided to kill all of them, eh? And so, I would rule Azeroth for all Eternity. At least until the Dark Titan and She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named (Our lovely Fallen Night Elf who is now a Naga) decide to attempt to take the planet for themselves. Don't worry, though, I am working on several plans to ensure that the planet belongs to me forever... My name shall be spread across the Cosmos. I am the Destroyer of Life, the Consumer of Souls...

I am...

The Lich King. (Insert Creepy Music Here)

1---let character interact with each other more

2--make quest little more difficult to find and retrieve

3--make forts and house in cities look diffrent ( some look same on one world then go to other world same design for areas)

4--put cartoon or character in that are permitted to be famous....

5--make areas were u got to fly in sky to do questing (WORLD IN SKY)

6--place for each toon to build their own house and make quest for other toons to come in and complete

First I would go to every freakin troll raid/instance out their and turn them/convert them to the undead scourge army

2nd i'd go take out Thunderbluff, Finish off Silvermoon, desecrate undercity and after all those are turned into undead, take out orgrimmar, all the while turning all the leaders into my own personal bodygaurds,

3rd destroy the drainei and turn them and their prophet into scourge for my own benifit, see whats to come ahead, go destory the night elf home... can't remember name probably because no one is ever there, turn them all into scourge, go take out ironforge with my massive army, then destroy stormwind and it's leader for just another kick butt guard.

4th i would destory dalaran just by landing in their with a legion vast army of the dead.... basicly because everyone and their mum lag in dalaran to the extream anyway so add couple more million ur doomed.

5th go take out all the big raid boss' and turn them into scourge (Illidan, kael'thas, lady vasha, the works) go back to my thrown with my legion vast army and with my final statement, "bring it on 12 mill fools

1. sit on the couch maybey rent a movie

2.  get a hooker

3. kill all "fruit cakes"

4. order a pizza and have some buddies come over

5. I would destroy azeroth and outlands take all the people that were useful to me throw them in northrend destroy everyone in dalaran then have the people i have chosen to take all the other places in northrend and make them my slaves and then i would sit on the couch get a hooker kill all "fruit cakes" order a pizza and have some buddies come over.

Well now.  This is quite the opportunity.  Opportunity to CONDEMN MYSELF!  Like I would let you know what my plans are!  HA!  I mean, you know, unless you can promise those pesky 12 million people will never find out about them.

You promise?

Really?

OK, fine.  Here's what I'm planning:

1.  First and foremost, I'm going to have to fake my own death.  Quite obvious, really.  Come on, these so-called 'adventurers' (read 'Murderers') have killed some of my most trusted servants!  Kel'Thuzad, man, he went down a while back.  Made me sad, as he was quite the pro at backrubs...   I'm getting off topic.  Anyway, these 12million people are going to catch up to me at some point.  So I'll let them.  They'll come in, we'll spar a bit (of course it will look like they are beating me.  HA!), and then I will 'die'.  Notice the quotations?  Yes, I will indeed 'die'.  I'll make some long speech, detailing how I can't believe you just did that, this can't be happening, I regret this, blah blah blah.  Then I'll 'die' (see those quotations?  Yeah, that's right!), they get their loot, All My Base Belong To Them and all that.  Of course, I'll sneak out while they are rolling their dice (a system I still can't quite fathom.  Seriously, why share?  Just take everything for yourself and leave).  Seems dastardly, does it not?  Just wait, it gets better!

2.  Now that The Lich King is 'dead', I will be a bit inconspicuous (of course, I've taken off all that armor, hid Frostmourne, got a tan, and just TRY to stop raising things from the dead.  I seriously have got to stop taking the detour past the graveyard...).  Now I have to go get a job at their headquarters, that place the call 'Blizzard' (these guys are quite obviously stupid.  The building doesn't look ANYTHING like snow).  After I get a job there, I quickly learn what it is they do there, while rising in ranks to the top due to some very stealthy and non-suspicious assassinations using undead things.  Once I have reached the pinnacle and command the forces of 'Blizzard', I will enact the next stage of my plan: the new 'Expansion' (another thing I don't quite get.  An expansion of what?  All I know is those 12 million people that 'killed' me use it a lot, so what better way to corrupt them and mess with their minds?).

The next expansion will be fantastic!  New quests, new areas to explore, new things to kill!  Players will have the ability to hit level 90, and best of all: A new nemesis!  A nuclear weapon hits Elwynn Forest, and Hogger is infected!  He grows to supersize, and takes the world hostage!  Travel into his domain, and take out this giant gnoll once and for all!  In case you can't tell, that last part was typed out by an underling, who I then had to promptly, uh, 'remove'.  Yes, that's it.  All I understand about that is this 'level' thing is a big deal, and to get to 'level 90' these 'players' have to do quests.  So what better thing to do than sabotage them?  I will make it IMPOSSIBLE for these 'players' to get to 'level 90'.  This will be achieved by messing with these quests they must do.

3.  The quests will be simple:  Go kill this this many times.  Here is the fun part:  No matter where you get it, who you get it from, or which god you pray to, you will always have the same quest:  Kill 50 murlocs and retrieve their brains for the apothecary.  Seems too easy?  First off, these are MURLOCS.  Evil beings with 'low drop rates' (this was easy to explain:  Basically, murlocs don't have brains.  In retrospect, it is not too surprising is it?).  Now, while 'players' may be able to muscle through that, I don't want this to just take an ungodly amount of time.  I want this to be painful.  I want it to make them depressed.  I WANT THEM TO SUFFER!  MUAHAHAHAHa.... *ahem* Sorry, I got a bit carried away.  Anyway. the catch is that the murlocs are nearly extinct, with only 15 left alive.  That's right. 15.  Now of course, they reproduce fast, so there will always be a few alive.  But can you imagine the fighting!?  12 million, fighting over 15 murlocs.  More of them will die than the murlocs!

4.  The ones left alive will undoubtedly band together, creating an alliance to get to 'level 90' by taking turns completing these quests.  Eventually they would succeed!  Or so they thought.  Since they need 'Experience' to get to 'level 90' (makes sense, since you need experience making drinks to be a good bartender, or experience fighting to efficiently kill things.  What I don't get is that these 'players' already have '80 levels' of 'experience'.  Ten more doesn't seem like much of a difference.  But it will get them doing my quests, so that is all that matters!), I will make it so they need unbelievable amounts of experience!  Say, oh, I don't know.  Five thousand, ten thousand maybe? (An advisor has informed that this would be a bad idea.  I have of course 'removed' him.  Nobody tells The Lich... er, Fred what to do!)  These quests will 'grant' a mere ONE 'experience'.  As you can see, this will take them QUITE a long time to ever THINK of getting to 'level 90'!

5.  Finally, I will head back to Icecrown.  I will be back in my armor, with Frostmourne in my hand, a ghoul army at my back, astride my Frostwyrm, I will retake my throne!  Then it will be time to relax.  Though I won't have much to do with those pesky 12 million out of the way.  Maybe I WILL start up that Mahjongg tournament KT suggested...  The Horde and the Alliance?  The Argent Crusade?  What do you mean what am I going to do about them?  I've already taken care of the 12 million 'players'!  Now leave me be!  I need to get rid of this tan...

Well, it was quite long but I enjoyed writing it!  Good luck to everyone else!
