Players who choose Need will always win the item and will always beat those that choose Greed or Disenchant.

Here is my big secret compilation from my post on the EJ lore thread.

Sound files are in and I will transcribe some of the bigger ones. Bolvar's sound files are only the one of him saying he will never serve Arthas. Unsurprisingly there is nothing for Arthas yet.

Jaina's sound files for the Halls of Reflection have her realizing there is nothing left of Arthas.

'There is nothing left of Arthas, only the Lich King remains. He is too powerful we must leave this place at once! My magic can only hold him in place for only a short time. Come quickly heroes!'

Soundfile for the start of the Deathbringer fight:

Horde:

Deathbringer: Join me father, join me and we will crush this world in the name of the Scourge. For the glory of the Lich King!
Deathbringer: Stubborn and old. What chance do you have? I am stronger and more powerful than you ever were.
Deathbringer: Pathetic old orc. Come then heroes, come and face the MIGHT of the Scourge!

Alliance:

Deathbringer: For every Horde soldier that you killed, for every Alliance dog that fell the Lich Kings grew. Even now the Valkier work to raise your fallen as Scourge.
Deathbringer: Things are about to get MUCH worse. Come and face the might the Lich King has bestowed upon me.
Deathbringer: *Laughing* Dwarf....

Death: I....am released.

Soundfiles from after the Deathbringer fight:

Horde side defeat of Saurfang Jr.:
Saurfang: My boy died at the Wrath Gate. I am here only to collect his body.
Saurfang: We named him Dranosh, it means heart of Draenor in Orcish. I would not let the Warlocks take him, my boy would be safe, hidden away by the elders of Garadar.
Saurfang: I made a promise to his mother before she died. That I would cross the Dark Portal alone whether I lived or died. My son would be safe, untainted.
Saurfang: Today I fulfill that promise.
Saurfang: *he starts getting emotional* You will have a proper ceremony in Nagrand next to the pires of your mother and ancestors.
Saurfang: Honor young heroes, no matter how dire the battle, never forsake it.
Saurfang: Kor'kron move out! Champions watch your back the scourge have reincar....
Saurfang: *yelling*
Saurfang: *coughing*
Saurfang: *crying sound*?

Alliance side defeat of Saurfang Jr.:
Saurfang: Behind you lies the body of my only son. Nothing will keep me from him.
Varian: Stand down Muradin. Let a grieving father pass.
Saurfang: I will not forget this kindness. I thank you highness.
Saurfang: *orcish*
Varian: I....I was not at the Wrath Gate but the soldiers who survived told me much of what happened. Your son fought with honor. He died a heroes death and he deserves a heroes burial.
Varian: Jaina why are you crying?
Jaina: *crying* It was nothing your Majesty. Just..I am proud of my king.
Varian: Muradin secure the deck and prepare our soldiers for a assault on the upper citadel. I'll send out another regiment from Stormwind.


The BIG secret to the Lich King:

Jaine: You're right Uther forgive me. I...I don't know what got ahold of me. We will deliever this information to the king and the knights who battle within Icecrown Citadel.
Uther: There is... something else you should know about the Lich King. Control over the Scourge must never be lost. Even if you were to strike down the Lich King another would have to take his place. For without the control of its master the Scourge would run rampant across the world destroying all living things.
Uther: A grand sacrifice by a noble soul.
Jaina: Who could bear such a burden?
Uther: I do not know Jaina, I suspect the piece of Arthas that may be left inside the Lich King is all that holds the Scourge from annihilating Azeroth.
Jaina: Then maybe there is still hope.
Uther: No Jaina *screams* He...he is coming! You...you must.

For the Horde side it is roughly the same thing except he is talking to Sylvanas and she has no wanting to see him redeemed.

Professor Putricides sound files are.... interesting. If you ever watched Futurama you will be instantly amused by his voice and what he says.

Aggro: Good news everyone! I think I have perfected a plague that will destroy all life on Azeroth!

Rotfaces Death: Terrible news everyone, Rotface is dead. But great news everyone! He left behind plenty of ooze for me to use! Wha...I'm a poet and I didn't know it!

Festerguts Death: Oh Festergut you were always my favorite next to Rotface. The good news is that you left behind so much gas! I can practically taste it.

His Death: Bad news everyone! I don't think I'm gonna make it.

Well Leviathonlx, I think Varian's gonna lose a lot of haters just on the Deathbringer's death speech alone. Color me impressed on what Varian says, he doesn't hate the Horde after all, or at least sympathizes with a grieving father.

[Flayne]

I'm sure I should be more focused on lore spoilers or class mechanics but I'm completely stuck on how adorable that pug pet is

I hope the valentines big love rocket mount isn't a 2 seater

YouTube - Prof. Putricide (Sound)

Needs to sound more like our favourite animated professor imo I really can imagine Prof. Farnsworth doing this

[Benser]

I don't personally like how he sounds, it actually sounds more like a woman imo.

Also, how is Jaina having a conversation with Uther? Unless somehow his ghost is in icecrown or something, I dunno.

And why is the change to aura mastery under protection when it's a holy talent and comes under the holy spell page?

Also; GIEF PUG!

Uther is easy to explain. Magic. Magic lets dead people/ghost in WoW talk all the time.

[darthjiggles]

They really must have been aiming for professor Farnsworth, he says "Good news everyone" so often in the show. I can't say I could every take that boss seriously (Lore wise) with that voice.

[Kozunak*s*Bira]

If they hired Billy West (proff Farnsworth/Fry) to do the sounds , i would have renewed my subscription on the second

It seems the youtube video only has 1 set of his voice overs since his voice is for some reason different for normal and heroic.

[Zuelu]

*SPOILER ALERT* BE WARNED. THIS IS PURE SPECULATION BASED ON WHAT LEVIATHIONLX POSTED, BUT IT'S MY THOUGHTS.

Maybe the Arthas Side of the Lich King is trying to prevent the nightmare scenario where no one will rise up and control the Scourge by turning Bolvar. Even if he is defeated, Bolvar may be able to use the Scourge to the use of the forces supposedly led by Thrall in Cataclysm.

175 points each week. 1300p for the gloves. 2150 for chest/helm/legs.

It will take forever and ever to get the gear

It is a sweet change if you will be like 70p short of an item

[Quoth_has_totems]

Yeah this guy sounds like the disney version of Farnsworth

sounds like there will be a dancing tea set in the fight
