We currently have no plans to add a 40-player dungeon into Wrath of the Lich King. We fully anticipate making the 10 and 25-player dungeons and raids challenging as a part of their progression.

You can say what you like about whether or not a 10-player dungeon is truly challenging if you wish, but they take coordination and require each player to play their role to their best ability to succeed.

When it comes to whether or not Arthas will be epic enough, we are working to maintain the epic feel of the encounter and have been discussing ways of doing this that should be appropriate. One idea that has been talked about was whether or not it would require a 25-player group to defeat Arthas before it ever opens up to 10-player groups.

What we end up with is yet to be decided.

Keep in mind, when you encounter Arthas, it will be end game. We also plan for things often far in advance of when something is implemented. So when we say we've been discussing, we're not talking about a conversation that just happened last night over coffee in someone's den. ;) Testing also relies on quite a few things including what happens during all of those other quests and encounters prior to the final showdown with Arthas.

 I couldn't tell you and the "final" has a way of being deceiving at times. We have yet to see if it's the truest sense of it, or only a clever deception...

...People tend to forget that the World of Warcraft universe is much bigger than they realize. There is a lot of story to tell and I know people fear the possibility that Arthas may meet his end, but like any story, it all goes on and new tales are told, or old ones are reinvigorated. Fear not.

We haven't ruled out the possibility of ever adding one in should we feel it's something we would like to do.
