Taking only a meagre 27 hours, warlock players Nymh has earned the honour of being the world’s first level 80 in Wrath of the Lich King, the epic expansion to World of Warcraft.
Nymh, who hails from French server Drek’thar, used the crypts in the Drakil’ji Ruins in Grizzly Hills, where mobs are on a very fast respawn rate (around 30 seconds) to help speed level himself all the way to the expansion’s level cap of 80, with the assistant of an out-of-party healer to maximise his downtime.
In real life, Nymh is 21 years of age and in full time employment. Nymh took vacation time off work to enjoy the newly released expansion pack and to accomplish this feat.
I guess it just goes to show that you don’t have to be an overweight, greasy, social reject who lives in their mom’s basement to commit to an MMORPG and achieve something.
I know it’s some form of achievement, but it just doesn’t seem fun in any way to do that at all.
All for the “OMG I’M THE FIRST!”
27 hours? That’s just insane… Did he do it all the way from lvl 1? Or did he start off at 70?
@Jens Erik Vaaler, Starting at 70. =P
WoW’s isn’t a grind like a lot of people will tell. It’s very accessible in that way, with lots of variety in the quests.
I’m guessing he started at level 70. :P
Anyways, he’s obviously making his own money and all so it’s not like he got it strictly for being lucky enough to have a mum and dad pay his way through life. I still have to say I did lol at the fact that he took vacation time to accomplsh it. I mean, hell, I don’t have enough days to do the things I want normally let alone taking off days just to play a video game. :P
Although, tbh, it does sounds like a fun way to spend your vacation so props to him anyways!
My friend informs me that a guy just hit level 80 on our server, realm first.
