10 More Insane Lies Told On Video Game Box Art
10. World Of Warcraft: Wrath Of The Lich King - No Aerial Dogfights
A whopping 13 years since its release, Wrath Of The Lich King is still considered to be the best expansion that legendary MMO/meat grinder World Of Warcraft has had. Players were introduced to the icy wastes of Northrend, facing off against new villains such as the Lovecraftian nightmare Yogg-Saron, and Arthas Menethil - the Lich King himself - in Icecrown Citadel, which remains one of WoW's best raids. The Death Knight hero class was also a welcome addition for high-level players who wanted to both tank it up and deal some major damage.
However, despite these much-loved additions, Wrath Of The Lich King promised (on its box art no less) another feature that simply failed to materialise. A tantalising little bit of flavour text on the back of the Windows edition box teased: "Engage in aerial dogfights with flying mounts and new, gnome-engineered planes". Sounds exhilarating, right? Taking the fight to the skies with your hard-earned flying mount felt like a logical progression for the series.
It turns out though that...you couldn't. Aerial dogfights simply weren't included in the expansion. Blizzard's initial excuse for this omission was that it "wasn't polished enough", citing the physics feeling a little too mechanical. Seeing as all these years down the line aerial dogfights still haven't appeared, polishing up the physics can't have been high on Blizzard's list of priorities.
