On 6th September, the expansion pack for World of Warcraft The Burning Crusade finally arrived for Chinese players.

China has not seen any new content for WoW since October of last year,which made the WoW subscriber has dropped from 340,000 to 300,000. Chinese players has waited the new expansion for a long time.

Today we have got a news that although Chinese TBC launched yesterday,a player has leveled up from 60 to 70 in less than 23 hours.

The detals are as below:

Server: Un´Goro(Horde)

As we know, the record in Europe is 28 hours.

Am I supposed to be surprised or horrified?

Suprised. Its normal for a hardcore gamer reach Level 70+ in a week, but less than 23 hours? Thats just amazing.

No, it's sad. Just the fact that Asians have more fat basement dwelling rats than anyone else in the world. Therefore, it's sad.

Should I be impressed or scared..:eye:

O LOL Attila...

This reminds me of yesterday, while I was watching video's from youtube. Some 15 year old kid, deteled 3 level 70's. As we know, its a private server.

Should I be impressed or scared..:eye:

If your like them..Impressed. If your a normal person, vomit in 3...2...1

*vomits*

I think it's pitiful that they got to 70 that fast. Can you say no life?

*vomits*

I think it's pitiful that they got to 70 that fast. Can you say no life?

Maybe worst than "No life". Dam Blizzard, How come they have to make a game so ****in' addicting.

damn..........23 hours? i think that is plain pitiful.

Pfft, thats nothing. I can get to level 70 in 1 kill!

Private servers FTW =P

uhoh.. i was impressed heh.

>.< I've never understood this "addiction" to games that people talk about..lol but it certainly shows...

There is honestly a few ways to look at it. Maybe he had a few days off work, and had some free time to burn away; vacation day as such. Perhaps more then one person was working off of that account? If it was ONE person to achieve this, and you still judge him this way, it's also pretty sad to judge someones life negatively in general. It could show insecurity within the person judging, but all in all; grats to the 70 guy.

Yes, this person has absolutely no life because he spent less than a full day on a game.

OnRPG is retarded.

Damn o-O;

I'm impressed and a little worried. Did he bathe or use the bathroom facilities at all that day?

Yes, this person has absolutely no life because he spent less than a full day on a game.


This is exactly what I was thinking.

Just out of curiosity Shinji, why do you keep posting useless information that has nothing to do with free mmorpgs?

Yes, this person has absolutely no life because he spent less than a full day on a game.

OnRPG is retarded.

I think he spent more than that, it says 60-70 not 1-70. And you act like 23 hours of nonstop grind is nothing. o_O

it aint cool or epic to get lvl 60-70 in 23 hours... actually it is horribly sadd.... sum1 commited suicide cos of WoW and this game is not worth the addiction or money they pay for it... just shows how sad and pathetic sum ppl can be.. no life, no girlfriend, they phail

all i can say is ewwww that means he played 23hours straight without moving from his chair which is possible he musta got stocked up with coke and food (caffine ftw) still quite disgusting but meh if he loves the game let him be

Wow... that is just...

Who spends that much time reading all the brady game guides for WoW, and printing ou pages and pages of info, for WoW? and having multiple accounts so you can easily give your char twink gear w/o having to w8 an hour, and also plvl your newbie account o.O....

That means those 300,00 players that were left playing wow spends hours apon figureing out the ins and outs of WoW....

All I can say, is congratz to asian sweat shops ^^;

The best part of this thread is that you all feel sorry for a guy that has the same interests as you, just took it a step further.

Not only that, but I'm sure he's never going to read your pity, or give a shit even if he did.

Everyone likes games. But there's something called "moderation".

And who cares if he reads this? It's a public forum. We can make fun of all the Asians we want.

Honestly, who the hell are any of you to tell anyone to play in moderation?

Dude, Its a interesting news. If you didn't notice, most people post useless information that doesn't do with free mmorpg -.-

Lol, you guys are judging this player just because he got from 60 to 70 in 23 hours based on this unreliable source of information? Wow, now that is sad. For all you know there could be a team of dedicated gold farmers behind the character taking shifts to make sure they have the first level 70 character. -.-

Lol you guys have to understand that we hit it in 28 hours with no help the Chinese players may have been reading guides and other things we wrote on how to get to 70 so they had help kind of ...

it aint cool or epic to get lvl 60-70 in 23 hours... actually it is horribly sadd.... sum1 commited suicide cos of WoW and this game is not worth the addiction or money they pay for it... just shows how sad and pathetic sum ppl can be.. no life, no girlfriend, they phail

No one committed suicide due to this game....they just didn't have enough money to pay for the game anymore or this person was an attention whore and went all emo and said "I am gonna kill myself", when they probably had another account they were on laughing the whole time. Can't understand why people believe this stuff.

People commit suicide over things much more stupid then WoW, I don't see how its so far fetched.

As long as your depressed enough anything can become a reason to kill yourself.

damn, now all i he can do is sell gold. poor guy

I'm somewhat embarrassed to say I am Asian lol.

I'm somewhat embarrassed to say I am Asian lol.

I'm not, you would be embarrassed if you were one of them that play 24/7. I think it's pretty sad they got to lvl70 in 23hrs. It's dirtying the term Asian, soon it's going to be a stereotype..."asians are fat basement dwelling rats" which is not true

No, it's sad. Just the fact that Asians have more fat basement dwelling rats than anyone else in the world. Therefore, it's sad.

You are half right, more not fat basement dwelling gaming rats than anyone else in the world.

Asians are better gamers then Americans when it comes to MMO's and RTSES but when it comes to FPSES We're up there (americans)

Shin, ty for the info.

I am very impressed for the guy who reached lvl 70 in 23 hours.

Now, for those who think it's pitful, too bad, you r the ones who r pitful. First of all, i dont play wow, and i did not get a sense of how difficult it is to reach to lvl 70 in 23 hours, but after i read the entire story, this guy belongs to a guild called GreenBase, his whole guild worked as a team to help him, they planned this in advance, worked out each persons role, and got this guy to lvl 70. Do you really think it is because this guy has no life, he just game 23 hours a day? the answer is no, he did this for his guild, when this made the headline news in the biggest mmorpg website, it also increased the popularity of his guild. He showed ture passion for mmorpg, he worked hard for the love of game, love of his guild, there is nothing wrong with it. einstein, edison, newton, all these great scientists locked themselves in their room worked for days, are people now critizing them of having no live??? the answer no.

dont even bother to reply if ur the ones who play a mmorpg for 2 mins and delete it because u cant stand a min of the grinding, and telling people how horrible the game is.

p.s if u think this guy is sad, how about the european guy who spent 28HOURS of straight time playing wow-tbc

I think that example kind of backfires, because this guy did nothing great for man kind, he blew 23 hours on a game that only exists in pixels. Sorry but I can't accept this as impressive, an amazing feet indeed but it will never hold ground as impressive to me.

No, it's sad. Just the fact that Asians have more fat basement dwelling rats than anyone else in the world. Therefore, it's sad.

Nearly four out of 10 adults in the USA will be obese within five years if people keep packing on pounds at the current rate - putting their health at risk, says one of the top obesity researchers.

Currently, about 31%, or about 59 million people, are obese, which is defined as roughly 30 or more pounds over a healthy weight. Almost 65% are either obese or overweight, 10 to 30 pounds over a healthy weight, which increases their chances of developing diabetes, heart disease, some types of cancer and a host of other health problems.

39.8 million American adults; more than 57% of American adults are overweight (CDC)

yeah right

Doesn't mean their all in the basement playing WoW. His comment still holds some ground.

guys dont be such newbs, to atain lvl 70 in 23 hours is the work of a guild not a person. It means he tags mobs and his guild kills them and most likely was account sharing not some guy siting there for 23 hours etc. Is it sad, well ya kinda cause its way to much work just to lvl 1 guy but its not that he is amazing or has no life. His guild decided to take on the current record and they achieved it grats to them imo.

If it was his whole guild then I guess that's some pretty impressive teamwork. Though I still think some Asians have far too much time on their hands >__>

I find the constant reference to this man being Asian quite funny. So I take it, any task on any game ever is impossible unless you're Asian? Only Asians are capable of sitting for more then 5 hours? Not to mention everyone who talks about this guys life being so bad, I take it; in the future all of your will be necessities to man kind? You're the picture of perfection, your muscle percentage is 100% and you're the life of the party all of the time?

So, while you all invent the next form of energy and develop a constance for plasma; which of course you will. I'll go play some sort of game for four hours and 59 minutes then get up, because I'm not Asian and sitting for beyond 5 hours is far too much for my American mind to comprehend.

uhh hurray for him o_o.

And I think everyone is just assuming that asians play tons of onlines games is because mmo's are hugely popular there, obviously. Although yea it is annoying when people make assumptions only asians play online games nonstop. Im asian too D:

huhh okkayyy that asian must be crazy or something O-o

Well the fact that he lives in CHINA.

Isnt it worse if you have to spend more time to get to lvl 70? I mean.. he saved a few weeks of gameplay in a day.. he can go rest and shit now lol.

Doesn't mean their all in the basement playing WoW. His comment still holds some ground.

Yeah, you're right. I guess 65% of Americans are either overweight or obese because they're in their basements eating big macs and chicken nuggets.

lol i love it how so many people hate wow and think its a waste of money, for every person who says that, 100 more have a wow account.

On topic though, 70 in 23 hours is crazy and maybe not in a good way. But congrats to that man, probably china's #1 gold farmer FTW!!!

Wow i would have thought they got TBC exspantion with the rest of us...i was completly wrong! XD And that guy that got from 60-70 in 23hrs is a freak!

Firstly 60-70 in 24 hours ain't that bad.
Some of u seem to think its 1-70 which is totally different.

Secondly this is an American gamer's pc

there are alot cheaper in china, but so is minimum wage so I guess everything balances out <.<

Not only that but remember China was the first to make a game addiction clinic, now they are even popping up in Europe.

why is that in english?
even if it was a chinese person's pc, that is one of the most extreme examples. why you could also find a pc as tricked out as that in america

I believe he was joking -_-

Dude it's not weird to play a game 23 hours with short breaks when an mmorpg first pops.
Huge difference than playing for I unno 80 hours a week.
I wouldn't be quick to pass judgment and call him a loser or an oddity.

60-70, 23 hour marathon? who cares you know when was the last time they had an update. People go on crazy marathons all over the world, it makes them no less losers than the other guy.

As a matter of fact every f2p game i see come out, immediately there is a nucking futs rush to the top.

Quit trolling mini, it wont make you more popular around here.

The pic was a joke you can make a higher end setup than that.
It's really not that difficult.

Lastly, Japanese brands use english names at times.

it isn't weird, but those who still do so are losers.
80 hours a week is also a bit extreme

just cus its done a lot, doesn't mean that it isnt pitiful

plus, i don't care if im popular around here or not

i take a personal insult with that pic...

Shin, ty for the info.

I am very impressed for the guy who reached lvl 70 in 23 hours.

LOL....u really compared Einstein and Edison to some kid who leveled a WoW char to 70 fast? Lets see, making sacrifices for the good of humanity; or making sacrifices for the good of saying "Wow, im the first 70 sweet, now i cant do anything until other people hit 70 too. IM 1337 ! " Mankind > WoWkind kthxbai

That just owns. I want one of those. By those I meant I want that chair.

Ontopic: The fact that he got to 70 is great and all but did he have fun getting there? I believe we play games for 'fun' though some people have forgotten it..

I doubt anyone play games for fun anymore. It seems like a lot of people think that its 1-70.XD

You guys seem oblivious, let me set the stage:
Post popular game in china hasn't been updated in years.
Everyone is maxed out and at lvl 60.
Boom update comes and introduces 10 more levels.

People playing marathon style for a couple days, Houndreds, dare I say thousands, of people racing for the glory of the new cap!

It's not something to call people lame about.

1. It's just 10 levels.
2. It hasn't been updated in superlong
3. Player base was lvl 60
4. People racing to the cap is normal in mmorpgs
5. 23 hours isn't such a long time.

I'm sure people took a day off our two just to hit the cap fast.

And people don't just play for fun, we also have;

1.Enternainment
2.Competion
3.Glory

In an mmorpg many times the grind is hardly "fun".

Concluding:
Congrats dude, you beat everyone to 70 and now gained super popularity points with the gaming community.

No, it's sad. Just the fact that Asians have more fat basement dwelling rats than anyone else in the world. Therefore, it's sad.

No basement dwellers in China or Asia.

Just Internet Cafes and such.

No one committed suicide due to this game....they just didn't have enough money to pay for the game anymore or this person was an attention whore and went all emo and said "I am gonna kill myself", when they probably had another account they were on laughing the whole time. Can't understand why people believe this stuff.

ure right nobody killed thereself over WOW actually that story was with eq. someone got addicted to eq and shot themself with a rifle. its on youtube. type in online games kill(or sumthin like that)

Quite impressive to do that, that fast, even with a guilds help.

For you ppl saying he's a loser, I fail to see it. If I hadn't had an update to the MMORPG I play, and I knew the release date of TBC, and my guild offered to lvl me up to 70 as fast as they could, shit, I would totally take the day off work and play 23 hours. Once I hit about 24 hours though, I would be passing out at the keyboard, but imo it would be worth it. Also I'm sure he went to the bathroom and ate food. As it is possible to eat and play at the same time, especially when all you have to do is tag the mobs.

o_o I would never ditch work for a game.. $$$ = Food = Survive. Game = Nothing = Nothing.

It must of been at least 2 people playing that char taking turns, AT LEAST 2. If you ask me I think 5 people played on that char so if I'am correct *takes out calculator and puts on glasses* 4 hours and 36 mins for each player = 60 to 70 in 23 hours easy :hmm:

But that is still very impressive

ure right nobody killed thereself over WOW actually that story was with eq. someone got addicted to eq and shot themself with a rifle. its on youtube. type in online games kill(or sumthin like that)

nope. a chinese(oh hahaha) gifted 13 year old commited suicide over this game.
http://www.shortnews.com/start.cfm?id=54320

i also think that a person died of dehydration....


ok seriously though, even though this guy got enormous amounts of help, it still doesnt change that he played for 23 hours. whoever plays that long is being a loser. if you ask one person outside about his/her thoughts on someone who played a game for 23 hours, 95% of people will say something related to that person being a loser.

That just owns. I want one of those. By those I meant I want that chair.

Ontopic: The fact that he got to 70 is great and all but did he have fun getting there? I believe we play games for 'fun' though some people have forgotten it..

i don't think i can even start to afford that chair let alone the rest of it XD

guys dont be such newbs, to atain lvl 70 in 23 hours is the work of a guild not a person. It means he tags mobs and his guild kills them and most likely was account sharing not some guy siting there for 23 hours etc. Is it sad, well ya kinda cause its way to much work just to lvl 1 guy but its not that he is amazing or has no life. His guild decided to take on the current record and they achieved it grats to them imo.

Finally! A reasonable person.

*vomits*

I think it's pitiful that they got to 70 that fast. Can you say no life?Can you say, WoW is a game for beginners. For veteran grinders in SEA and China, it would be easy to do.

Can you say, WoW is a game for beginners. For veteran grinders in SEA and China, it would be easy to do.

still doesn't change the fact that those veteran grinders in SEA and China have no lives

Veteran grinder- Someone who is so unphased by mindless repetition that they no longer require food/water/bathroom breaks.

with a guild he probably grinded less in those 23hours than you would grind normally playing by yourself.

solo effort not impressive
guild effort very impressive

Shame the guild effort really takes the shine off the solo effort. I've done the grind 1 to 70 (12days 8hours played first lvl 70 dren on my server, 18days total) and 60 to 70 solo with only help from people in the areas I was hunting, there is no way a single gamer could achieve that 23hours, but grats to the guild.

Note: if your gonna say I have no life I've heard it, I know played to much back then but I was first. People cheered, jeered and revered me for it.

The kind of reaction I see in these threads are always astonishing.

Granted he got to level 70 in 23 hours STRAIGHT. That IS kind of scary/sad/weird. But you gotta remember, it's also 23 hours PLAYED.

The WoW /played time only counts how long you've been online. How many people say they can make 60-70 in 23 hours /played?

Granted he probably had access to other versions of TBC, private servers might be included, so he probably level from 60-70 over and over quite a few times.

I doubt anyone can do it if it's their first time playing TBC. He had a whole year to get familiarized with the content if he wanted to. The guy from Europe only had a few months.

And yes, Asians are crazy gamers. But that's just how we are.
