Man needs life
Stuff reports:
A Taiwanese man has become the first person to finish nearly everything in the popular online game World of Warcraft, according to an online report.
The MMO Champion website reported the man’s character “Little Grey” is the first to complete every achivement in the game, reaching 986 out of a possible 986 points.
Along the way he’s virtually slain 390,895 creatures and died 8,543 times while completing 5906 quests, an average of 14.6 quests per day. That means he’s played for about 400 days.
I have luckily resisted every playing World of Warcraft.

That’s quite an achievement. His next task is to lose his virginity.

14.6 quests a day isn’t that hard in WoW, getting all the tiered content quests would be.

Good grief DPF
If you spent 10% of that time devoted to an unbiased ( ie without spin ) article on the AGW and ETS issue, considering the new data that is now available but ignored by MSM, you could become someone of fame.
We all know your personnel view, but an analytical point of view especially from a politcal commentator as yourself would be regarded with interest.

Seems a famous Brit tennis player was playing the same game.
Sad.

i used to enjoy games such as these.
But, once I realised there pointlessness, and the deflating sense of 4 hours passing by in what seems 15 minutes, I gave up. Real life is far more satisfying.

Pretty sad really, life must be so shallow for some. Perhaps if he put as much time into living he could probably go a long way, if nothing else he is persistent.

Sad bugger. He should get a life. And post comments on Kiwiblog

If he enjoyed himself whilst doing it, it seems like harmless fun. I played WoW for a bit, could see how the neverendingness of it had a lot of appeal. But I couldn’t handle ‘grinding’. A lot of quests and achievements like “collect 20 boar tusks”, which involved killing about 100 boars. Battlegrounds were fun though.

As a WoW player I can assure you 14.6 quests / day is easy at first but by the time you get to end game they get a lot harder to find.
To do this he has played ALL of the content available in the game, the /played on his toon would easily be over 400 days, that is 400 x 24 hours logged in to that character (At this level everyone has more than one).
Even if he started the day the game launched in Taiwan and he has no other characters (He will believe me) that is 6.44 hours / day since launch on one character since 8 Nov 2005.
