And the first World of Warcraft player to reach level 80 is...
Filed under: World of Warcraft, Fantasy, Expansions, News items
Time from 70 to 80: 27 hours.
Nymh did a lot of research and trial-and-error exploration of options in the Wrath of the Lich King beta test in order to be ready for the gauntlet after the EU launch, which of course came a little bit before the North American one. We'll note that the first-to-level-70-after-launch trophy went to another French player last year. Vive la France, no?

Please, we can do without the pointless posts about him missing out on all the content. Obviously he is going to play through WotLK on an alt at some point and enjoy it at a more leisurely pace, but someone has to hit the world first.

Actually I wasn't really replying to your post - just trying to head off the comments that I knew would be coming. This story was on wowinsider yesterday and there were about 100 comments worth of tedious drivel about how he'd "wasted" WotLK by "rushing through it".

Player from one of the first timezones to see the release is the first to reach 80. News at 11.

I guess it would be interesting if you got something for it. But sitting around and doing arguably the most boring thing you can do in the game and then getting nothing for it? OK...

Darus (Athene and CO), would have technically been the first level 80, but nonetheless congrats to Nymh.

socialism is a great thing, america is headed towards it so now more americans can lvl super fast because they will just live off of government cheese.

You can always count on the americans to make the most clever posts:p
seriously though, you might wanna find out what socialism is before posting dumb comments like that.
and, also look up egoism

Just another example of how dumbed down this game has become and how easy blizzard wants it to be to appeal to the mass market.

Yeah, because you couldn't possibly do this in LotR or Vanguard or EQ2...
Oh wait, you can.
