The Biggest Nerd In The World (Of Warcraft)
World of Warcraft expansion The Burning Crusade only went live a day ago, but it has already hit a major milestone: sometime Wednesday morning, French player Gullerbone became the first person to reach level 70, the new upper limit of character advancement.
Burning Crusade The 24-year old completed this dubious achievement after 28 hours of consecutive play, thanks to the help of his guild, Millenium. Forty of the group's members assisted Gullerbone's mage in combat and with healing: he describes more of the method to his madness in an interview on World of Raids.
Meanwhile, other players are just struggling to get into the expansion at all. Joystiq reports that the Burning Crusade has brought a flood of players back to the game, and that they're jamming servers, leading to hour-long delays to log in. Maybe if Gullerbone would go take a shower and a nap some other players could get a chance.
[thanks, Matt]
