Realm 80

[OogaJiggaWooga]

Well, just saw the cross faction announcement for first Night Elf / Druid to lvl 80 (Eldarion) at 3:59pm server time today. Damn that was quick

Athene boosted one of his guildmates to 80 in under 15 hours, www.warcraftmovies.com , too bad he got screwed and got banned for it, even after the GM said it was fine to do it that way. Oh well thats blizzard.

On Kul Tiras, a Tauren Shaman and a Undead Priest simultaneously dinged 80 Saturday morning at around 3 AM. Same guild, but I have no idea if they were multiboxing. It was surprising that two hit it at the same time. If anyone thinks multiboxers don't have lives just need to look at guys that are hitting 80 in less than 72 hours. Seriouslah...

A lot of people took off Thurs/Fri from work to push for 80. Taking 2 days off every ~2 years to level in the new expansion isn't much really. I know as of ~8am EST Saturday there was a 76 DK on Mal'Ganis, now he is crazy.

1st 80 on Mal'Ganis was sometime Friday night.

I watched the whole athene video on how they did this. It seems alot like what they previously did with a person getting kicked out of the group and doing all the dps. I thought at the time they did a crazy fast 1-70 leveling blizzard said this was not acceptable. So then they tried to recreate it. I think they would have been fine if they didn't use an instance to do this. Kind of crappy that they got banned/reset to 70.

What I think is crazy is that <theTwentyFithNovemember> got enough people to 80 to do all of Naxx. If you look at their website they cruised through there. The differences b/w boss kill times was around 20 mins.

One of my coworkers took off Thursday/Friday so he could play. He's one of those guys that consistantly plays anywhere from 10-18 hours straight on his days off. I can't wait to hear what level he made it to.

So the deal is that in an instance you can't group and ungroup and get exp? So he was in a group at the start of the instance to get into the instance then he ungroups and tags and does dps and gets all the exp?

So if you tag while in a group, and then untag the tag follows the person who tagged or the group? I guess the person? Did he have to group and ungroup after each mob or just when he entered the instance?

He can tag outside of the group in the instance, just like outside right?

I mean he tags, they kill and he gets most of the exp? Thats legal outside of instance but not legal inside because its assumed that inside you have to be grouped?

Notice it seems that with outside help its better to kill mobs then it is to quest ....

How come people outside of instances couldn't just get 10 or 20 to help them, and do faster then this guy?

If you can bear the guy, all is revelaed in this video:

This last video he posted he wasn't too bad. He was pretty down to earth in this one. Pretty interesting all the steps they took to do it just a little bit faster than everyone else.

tons and tons of swiftness pots
aspect of the cheetah up all the time

If you look at the "offical first" level 80 his team did it in something like 1/2 the time. They were going to hit 80 around 14 hours in while the lock did it in ~28 hours.

I thought this technique was legal? I know some boxers did this very technique to level to 70 and never got in trouble. Very strange. Regardless I enjoyed watching the 30minute video where Athene is talking in a completely normal voice.
