Man "Beats" World of Warcraft

Precision pointed out that a Taiwanese man has been named the first ever person to successfully beat World of Warcraft, getting all 986 achievements, completing 5906 quests and /hugging 11 players. Insert joke here. There are many.

Of course

[snowwrestler]

How can you kill that which has no life??

[conureman]

Something I can tell my kid that won't get a "meh". Cool.

Re:Does he have all the best gearr

[Major Blud]

Yeah, he better have the Sword of a 1000 Truths.

Re:Of course

[Anonymous Coward]

Well, if he's like every other person I know who has become particularly "accomplished" at games like this, you just wait until the pathetic lardball has a massive heart attack at the age of 34.

I played WoW, and it's okay, but I can't keep interested anymore for more than a month at a time, and in more than three years I've only paid for a total of 14 months of playtime, about a month of which I didn't actually even play. It's a great time waster, but people like this either have some seriously bizarre priorities in life compared to everyone else, or have some sort of serious mental disorder and need urgent help.

What an achievement !

[princessproton]

Can I just be the first to say..."WoW!"

I'm sure he has some sort of life - comes up every once in a while from the basement to see his parents, talks to friends on Facebook, and he maybe even posts here.

There's still only one master of WoW

[Madman]

Liiiiiitttttllllllleeeee Grrrrreeeeeeyyyyyyy!!! just doesn't have the same ring as LEERROOOOOOOOOOOY JEEEEENNNKKKIIIINNNSSS!!!!

Re:I beat it ages ago

[Daetrin]

A strange game. The only winning move is not to play.

Re:Of course

[verbalcontract]

Scroll over him with your mouse cursors and... right-click!

So he's only done this with one race/class combo. What a n00b!

[ubrgeek]

> Something I can tell my kid that won't get a "meh".

Isn't that one of the achievements, too? ;)

Re:Of course

[cashman73]

What's his Slashdot UID?

Re:Damn

[ByOhTek]

Probably? This post [slashdot.org] seems rather defensive of it, to me. I bet it's NoYob.

Re:Does he have all the best gearr

[Shadyman]

So, wait. He's got 165/164 achievements in PvP and 138/139 World Event achievements? Hmmm... He doesn't have "BB King" from Winter Veil. Pwned already by upcoming events!

I know someone...

[purpledinoz]

I know someone that finished reading the Internet.

Re:All those achivements ...

[Dan667]

RL stands for reaking liches right?

Re:Of course

[Dremth]

This just might be the end of the world... of Warcraft.

Re:I wonder if any of the 11 hugged him back....

[hollywench]

:p Not likely, if he was going for the achievement where you /hug a dead player..

Re:insert joke here

[Korin43]

Maybe gay people are invincible? That could explain why people are afraid of them.

Re:Of course

[elrous0]

The more appropriate question is "How do you win, but still lose?"

Re:I beat it ages ago

[BJ_Covert_Action]

High Five brother. I beat a 2.5 year long WoWcrack addiction myself years ago. I still remember it like it was yesterday. Those long, back-knotted nights of failed Stratholme runs and epic fails. Noobs causing my blood pressure to rise exponentially in the Arathi Highlands....The cold chills of the 4 AM morning air nipping at my underwear-shod body, the only thing driving my spirit was the pipe dream of epic loots and bragging rights in Ironforge. Before Illidan. Before Arthas. Back when you knew how dedicated a WoW player was based on how high their fishing skill was....

*shudder*

I was one of the few ones lucky enough to turn away from that hell with my life still intact. I feel a bond with others I meet that were able to do the same. Stand strong my friend...relapse is easy.

Man's level and experience in MMORPG is reversely proportional to level and experience in real life.

Kinda like slashdot mod points ;-)

Re:I know someone...

[smallfries]

Yeah, happens to me a few times a day. May I should add more feeds...

Re:Of course

[war4peace]

I don't know, but he's not the first. The first ever to beat the game was Chuck Norris. Remember this, or else!

Re:To Everyone...

[Opportunist]

Hah! There you slipped! You're talking about the fishing contests in WoW!

Re:To Everyone...

[lastchance_000]

This seems relevant...

William Shatner: You know, before I answer any more questions there's something I wanted to say. Having received all your letters over the years, and I've spoken to many of you, and some of you have traveled... y'know... hundreds of miles to be here, I'd just like to say... GET A LIFE, will you people? I mean, for crying out loud, it's just a TV show! I mean, look at you, look at the way you're dressed! You've turned an enjoyable little job, that I did as a lark for a few years, into a COLOSSAL WASTE OF TIME!

[ a crowd of shocked and dismayed Trekkies.... ]

I mean, how old are you people? What have you done with yourselves?

[ to "Ears" ] You, you must be almost 30... have you ever kissed a girl?

[ "Ears" hangs his head ]

I didn't think so! There's a whole world out there! When I was your age, I didn't watch television! I LIVED! So... move out of your parent's basements! And get your own apartments and GROW THE HELL UP! I mean, it's just a TV show dammit, IT'S JUST A TV SHOW!

I moderate excessively too!

So, how is the weather in denial?

[SmallFurryCreature]

Interesting that in your rant to show how much of a non-loser you are, you list playing on Facebook. Think you kinda shot yourself in the foot there buddy.

Losers come oi all forms, and defending on a loser site that you are not a loser... well... welcome brother.

Re:Gratz

Wonder how many "people" this man really is

Zero. We've lost him.

What does homosexuality have to do with it?

Nothing at all. But when Taco said "No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame." it had nothing to do with being crippled. Oh wait...

No, they can't be, I see them all the time.

"Beating" WoW

I'm quite sure that WoW isn't the only thing he's beating regularly.

[Locke2005]

I don't understand the appeal of doing so many things over and over again.

You've never masturbated, have you?

It's sort of pathetic what passes for a lesbian love scene post title these days. What ever happened to Natalie, petrified, hot grits etc... ?

Me too. (by "real life", you mean posting on Slashdot, right?)

Well, yeah, but afterwards I have something real to show!

A better title

[Dirtside]

I think a better title for this article would be "World of Warcraft Beats Man".

Re:Of course

[cayenne8]

"...or that girl who has given head to over a dozen different guys by the time she was 15. "

You talk about this like it is a bad thing...?!?!

By the way, do you have this girls number? Is she legal age now?
