Summary
SomeWorld of Warcraftplayers have noticed that the cursed blade of the Lich King, Frostmourne, has shown up multiple times in certain locations where the sword normally would not be. This occurrence was exclusive toWrath of the Lich King Classic, soDragonflightplayers were not able to see this strange encounter. Nevertheless, oneWorld of Warcraftplayer took to social media and shared their findings.
As one of the most iconic villains inWorld of Warcraft’s long history, the Lich King has been synonymous with both his power over the undead Scourge, and his sword,the cursed runeblade called Frostmourne. While players have never been able to wield Frostmourne for themselves, theLegionexpansion saw Frost Death Knights claim and reforge some of Frostmourne’s broken pieces into artifact weapons called the Blades of the Fallen Prince. As seen byWrath of the Lich King Classicplayers, Frostmourne still maintains significance among someWorld of Warcraftplayers.

On Twitter, a user named AshWayling was playing on the Oceanic server called Arugal when he noticed that multiple copies of Frostmourne were falling from the skies above Orgrimmar, the Horde’s main capital city. However, none of these blades could be interacted with by players, let alone picked up like a piece of loot. According to Wowhead,this type of bug inWorld of Warcrafthas happened before. During theCataclysmexpansion in 2011, a hacker used some modding techniques to spawn the broken Frostmourne that appears after players defeat the Lich King in the Icecrown Citadel raid.
While the bug was initially reported to be on the Arugal server inWrath of the Lich King Classic, another Wowhead user reported that a similar bug was happening on the Everlook server, located in Europe. In that instance, the Alliance’s main capital of Stormwind City was the place that the swords rained down from. It remains to be seen if this recent phenomenon involving Frostmourne is the work of a hacker, and whether anyone will claim responsibility for it. Withthe nextWrath of the Lich King Classicupdatejust weeks away from testing on the public test realm (PTR), players will soon see more of Frostmourne in an official capacity.
Thoughthe future ofWorld of Warcraft Classicis a controversial fate that Blizzard will have to eventually consider, the upcoming Icecrown Citadel raid will be the next major challenge for players to face. Only time will tell what the future will hold after that.
