Filed under: Analysis / Opinion, Events, Virtual selves, Odds and ends, Blizzard, Instances, Bosses, Wrath of the Lich King

This was certainly the most ambitious world event Blizzard has attempted yet, both reusing some of their old techniques (the Scourge invasion), some newer tricks (a special boss with extra loot, which they learned from the Horseman last year), and even some tricks they picked up from players. But there were certain issues -- the timing was just plain bad, and the event really fizzled out rather than finished with a bang.
