Icecrown, it is not unfamiliar name for every WoW players who know its terrain, bosses, and rewards. WoW Icecrown interview, there isn’t a lot new in it, but it’s still worth a read. Looks like Blizzard has posted up their thoughts on the design decisions when it comes to Icecrown. The lengthy interview posted goes over some interesting bits about Icecrown, items, and encounters.
What sorts of new loot and item abilities will we see in Icecrown? We cannot offer the detail information to players, but I think this information is still useful for your World of Warcraft adventure. Greg: There are three main sources of loot for Icecrown: the bosses themselves, the Emblem of Frost badge vendors, and a new faction, the Ashen Verdict, that will provide suitable rewards as well, particularly at the Exalted level. As far as the items themselves go, we want them to feel epic. In addition to having favorable optimization, we also want to try a lot of experiments to make the items feel cool and unique. We are going to try to do a lot of weapon procs, for instance, which is something we haven't done much since the original World of Warcraft.
