Nobody, even those uniterested of it, can have missed the release of the expansion for World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King. If you’re not even playing the game you might have noticed those long lines in front of stores on the evening of the 12:th November (the game was released at midnight 13:th of November) and if you wheren’t out that evening you can see headline mainstream media news cluttered with the good and the bad the game have to offer (good reviews on one hand and concerned parents of collapsing children on the other side). It’s interesting to see how the news about a fictional world in an MMO makes headline news nonetheless.

There is a slight anti-climax in the game however, a long anticipated expansion have just been released and fully conquered by the hardcore players! Only 27 hours after the release one player reached the highest level (80). The unification of two major guilds, Nihilum and SK Gaming, temporarily named 25th November was first in the world to beat all the end game content after only 3 days! In laymans terms this is equal to completing the highest challanges a game a year in the making have to offer. Several other guilds have since also accomplished this and many fans ask themselves “Is this it?”. A game which thrives on players dedicating hours upon hours in large groups to accomplish epic adventures should not be beaten in 3 days!
