Man 'beats' World of Warcraft
via Destructoid by Jim Sterling on 12/2/09

A Taiwanese man has been named the first ever person to successfully "complete" World of Warcraft, collecting the game's staggering 986 Achievements to effectively do everything there is to do in the hugely successful MMO. This is literally the most amazing news of the day.

'Little Gray" beat the game after killing 390,895 creatures, administering 7,255,538,878 points of damage, completing 5,906 quests (averaging 14 quests a day), raiding 405 dungeons and hugging 11 players. I believe we can safely add another statistic to the numbers -- he has had sex 0 times during this period.

Some nitpicky WoW f*ckheads are trying to downplay Little Gray's accomplishment, claiming he received one event-tied achievement (B.B King) due to a glitch, and did not win it fairly. You know what, though? Who the Hell cares? He's done more than any human being ever reasonably should, so let's not quibble over one little point.

He's a WoW player. He will probably achieve nothing else in life. Let the man have this.

Yeah I read this in the newspaper the other day in the tech column, apparently all his work equates to playing around 400 days straight.

out of curiosity, what were the achievements, i wouldve thought lots of people would've done all of them unless some of them are litterly like "kill 10,000,000 monsters without a party"

I heard one came out like 2 days ago or something from some guys at work who play together.

edit: or a patch or something.

this guy is awesome... and I can feel nerd-rage all over the WoW world too jealous much!
I don't think I've ever wished my opponent good luck prior to a game. When I play, I play to win. I hope every opponent I ever have is cursed with fucking terrible luck. I hope they're stuck playing underneath a stepladder with a black cat in attendance a

Author is a dick. He reviews videogames for a living and has the nerve to say that this guy is wasting his life.

Now that's a shocker.

Well, good for him, I guess. If that's what makes him happy, then who am I to downplay that.

I think there is quite a difference between reviewing video games and a guy that has spent thousands of hours on a video game. For example, one guy gets paid to do what he does, the other pays to do what he does.

Not sure he's being serious, just playing off of popular stereotypes.

I play WoW and I can't imagine having that many achievements. That's some serious dedication, not to mention alot of skill.

edit- for comparison, I've completed a little over 300 achievements.

edit2- also with the new patch that was released on tuesday, there are now 1054 achievements. Good luck achievement guy!

I bet multiple people play on that account playing 24 hours a day. I hear the first level 200 (maximum level possible) on Maple Story is actually like 10 people sharing the same account.
