World of Warcraft: Hardcore Raider Claims World First Level 80 in Wrath of the Lich King Classic Within Hours of Launch

A World of Warcraft player has already hit level 80 on Wrath of the Lich King Classic. Less than nine hours after servers went live with the new World of Warcraft Classic expansion, a world first raider was the first to reach the new level cap, though his methods have left some players angry.

World of Warcraft raider and two-time world first tile-holder Naowh was the player who claimed the accolade for cruising to level 80. Naowh is a member of Echo, one of the major world first World of Warcraft raiding guilds who most recently claimed victory over the Jailer in Shadowlands.

Naowh reached level 80 on his Paladin in less than nine hours from Wrath of the Lich King Classic’s launch. He accomplished this with the help of a couple of friends who would summon him across Northrend for rapid travel, and by farming an Elite spawn who summons an endless army of zombies who give experience when they despawn. He also multiboxed with several other level 1 characters, who he killed off to gain maximum group experience bonuses. This method gave him the near-two million experience an hour he needed to pull off the feat.

While many World of Warcraft Classic fans applauded Naowh on his swift and efficient power leveling process, others spat at his efforts, claiming he cheated to earn the title. They claim that by using the despawn exploit and mob tagging, Naowh, who is primarily a retail World of Warcraft player, robbed actual Classic players of the world first title. Many disgruntled players are calling for Naowh’s title to be revoked, and for Blizzard to ban his account or server rollback his character to an earlier level.
