French WoW player reaches level 70 in 28 hours

A die-hard World of Warcraft player has reached level 70 within 28 hours of The Burning Crusade's release

Gullerbone, a 24-year-old French WoW player, reached level 70 at 4:04 am (CET) on January 17, 2007. He is believed to be the world's first.

The Burning Crusade, the expansion to World of Warcraft, the most popular MMO on earth with eight million subscribers, went on sale in the UK at midnight (GMT) on Monday 15 January.

One of the game's new features was to raise the level cap from 60 to 70. Most experienced players had suggested it would take a number of months at least to achieve the goal.

That just means he went from 60-70 in 28 hours.

Technically it wasn't just him, but a bunch of his friends that helped him out. *shrugs* Seems kinda pointless to me, but to each their own, I suppose.

*goes back to levelling up before he reaches the Black Citadel in Dragon Quest 8*
