Wrath of the Lich King login screen video
Aug 13th, 2008
I was able to capture the video above, and the audio you hear is just as I hear it. I expect there to be a "roar" or something else eventually inserted for the dragon. Nonetheless, it's quite a neat feature. You can also watch a high quality version via YouTube.
The new beta build just came out tonight, so stay tuned for more info and analysis as we get it all collected together.

Niiiiiice. I would've been perfectly happy with the screen without the dragon, but the dragon just makes it that much better. This is definitely going to be nice to see after dealing with the lack-luster login screen of BC.

Yeah, nice to see my favorite undead unit pop up in the login screen, loved the frost wyrms in WC3, best bloody unit in the game to me lol.

That's pretty sweet. I saw the great white glow of the original model so it's nice to see full thing in there.
Arthas' mount maybe?

Does it just sit there after it lands, or does it fly off and repeat the animation after a time?

would be cool if they use the dragon landing to mask the loading screen, tho it might be kind of annoying after the first few times

Well, crap, now I'll be wasting 30 seconds every time I start up WoW to watch the pretty dragon.

I'm still not happy with that login screen compared to the others. Why? Because it doesnt frame in the account name and password as good as compared to the Vanilla WoW and TBC ones.

The dragon is awesome! I can't wait to get this; the first nine minutes of me having Wrath will be spent at the login screen listening to the music (and now watching ol' bonesy)!

I have to think they will change that screen some more, because as it stands right now, it doesn't have any of the majesty or drama of either BC or classic WoW. The dragon isn't even positioned properly.
But I have no doubt Blizz will make it look stunning, like everything else, by ship date.

I love the new screen, I am sick of the portal already. I think the Frostwyrm Animation is a great addition. It needs a name though, WI should run a competition to give it a name, maybe on the radio show or something.
