Just an hour ago, we reported that über mutant guild conglomerate TwentyFifthNovember (http://www.twentyfifthnovember.com/), a merger of two of the world's bleeding edge guilds -- SK Gaming and Nihilum -- beat the 'entry-level' raid of Naxxramas (http://www.wowinsider.com/2008/11/15/naxxramas-world-first-by-twentyfifthnovember/). This was fast, although not entirely unexpected considering that Naxxramas was an old-world raid that was retuned for 25-man (and 10-man) content. However, TwentyFifthNovember's website reports that they have also defeated Malygos, currently the end, and supposedly most difficult, boss of current Wrath of the Lich King (http://www.wowinsider.com/category/wrath-of-the-lich-king/) content (Icecrown and Arthas will be accessible in a future patch). Their website says 'soon...' but I didn't take that to mean 'right now'.
This means that within three days of the game's launch, a guild has leveled to max level (although some members of the raid were below 80) and defeated all available raid content. While Blizzard has admitted to tuning the game to become more accessible to more players, or a more casual audience, TwentyFifthNovember's defeat of all PvE content available in the current game brings into question just how tuned down PvE content has become. It will be interesting to see how long it will take another Guild to clear through all of Northrend. Congratulations, TwentyFifthNovember! You can now all go an play Guitar Hero. Or something.http://www.wowinsider.com/media/feedlogo.gif (http://www.wowinsider.com)TwentyFifthNovember beats all Wrath PvE content (http://www.wowinsider.com/2008/11/15/twentyfifthnovember-beats-all-wrath-pve-content/) originally appeared on WoW Insider (http://www.wowinsider.com) on Sat, 15 Nov 2008 14:30:00 EST.
