Ladies and gentleman, a few remarks, which you can mostly read below, but summed up here:


  1. Accept the quest from Chromie.

  2. Talk to her again right after you accepted the quest, otherwise you will be in the town for nothing but sightseeing.

  3. See through the conversation the Prince has with the people whom brought you to him.

  4. Follow Prince Arthas into town, which by now is infected.

  5. There will be a first wave of scourges. Don't wait for a second one to come. Go into town and kill the semi-bosses(Gouls etc...) surrounded by mobs of undead. You will see your counter increasing.


  6. Look at your chatwindow, there will be comment on where to go, not that that is really necessary, because you are running from one end of the town that is accessible to the other end.


  7. When reaching 10/10 scourge waves, and slaying the first boss, the Prince will summon you(with words, you will not be teleported to him) to the town hall.

  8. From here on, follow the Prince.

  9. When the fight is over, wait for Chromie to come in as a dragon first....then turn in the quest and take the portal to your left, near the closed gate.

Are you surprised? Talking to a GM about anything is about as useful as a fork in the eye. And I can tell you which one I'd rather deal with... At least forks can't say "I'm sorry, I cannot assist you with that. Everything is working as intended."
