@Slimebeast: The recent WoW bosses have these sort of "hard mode" ways to kill bosses (gives better loot and stuff). Sort of like different difficulties. I believe the one Stars killed was a big deal because people theorycrafting it didn't think it was possible... or something. (I don't raid)

Whatever, it's still a world first. The normal bosses are easier nowadays, so more guilds can enjoy the content.


Yeah they killed the final boss of the last raid ( Yogg Saron)put in game with no help from npcs ( basically 4 npcs can help you for that fight, having none of them help you is considered the hardest fight in game right now and only Stars have done it so far...)

PS : one US guild actually achieved this 1 week ahead of them but they exploited and got banned 72 hours for it so this is the first chinese world first in wow in raiding.

Otherwise to add to what was said, Blizzard has put 10 man and 25 man versions of each raid in game and they both have normal mode and hard modes...

The difficulty ranking goes something like this

10 man normal < 25 man normal < 10 man hard < 25 man hard..

Wow, you're a veteran!  Seems you're counting them chronologically too without much parallel MMO playing.

Everquest probably very early 2000's, then DAOC in 2002-2003 and so on, rite?



Ouch 5 out of 11?
That's gotta hurt blizzard




^click the license to level it up! Please, and thanks in advance!

I always wondered how gold farming was financially viable. 



Your seriously believing a blog.. Created by another person.. Zero source.
This is fake, you'd have be to stupid to believe something like this from an unknown user created blog.

LOL...he financial statements will tell the "Truth"


Agreed, the last set of numbers that I remember had 6 million subscribers to WoW in Asia. A good chunk of that 6 million was outside China. There are at least two to three million between Taiwan and Korea.

The Blog has no credible backing what so ever from what I can tell. Most likely this is nothing more than a disgruntled former WoW player ramblings.



Thank God.

Same reason every other product has "Made In China" on it.
