World's first Kil'jaeden kill
Author: Joe MartinPublished: 28th May 2008
Kil'jaeden, the final boss of World of Warcraft, has finally been put in the ground.
Kil'jaeden was the final boss of the Sunwell Plateau raid dungeon, first released in the Fury of the Sunwell update two months ago, but until now nobody has been able to bring him down.
SK Gaming though has claimed the honour of bringing the second cycle of the game to a close, as Blizzard will not be adding any more major raid dungeons to World of Warcraft until the release of the next expansion pack, Wrath of the Lich King.
Reaching and toppling the beastie apparently took SK Gaming a total of three days on their server, Vek'nilash. Interestingly though, even though the gates to Kil'jaeden have been open a day longer in America, no US guild has managed to yet bring the monster down. The kill also marks the end of a run by SK Gaming's rival clan, Nihilum who had previously held the honour of being the first guild in the world to down every single boss in World of Warcraft since C'thun was first put in the ground two years ago.
SK Gaming managed to grab themselves a load of phat loot for the achievement, obviously - a Hammer of Sanctification, Thalassian Ranger Gauntlets, Cover of Ursol the Wise, Cover of Ursoc the Mighty and Hand of the Deceiver. The proud adventurers consisted of on feral druid, three hunters, one mage, two paladins, four priests, three rogues, five shamans, four warlocks, two warriors

Anyway you heard it here folks! The game is now over, you may all return to the loving embraces of your families, friends and significant others, I'm sure they've all been missing you terribly!
wow is their job...
just like in every other mmorpg the raiding elite is also the elite if it comes to other aspects of the game, including acquiring in game coin, now what would they spend that coin on if they get all fancy loot "for free", they have the choice to stockpile it or sell it for rl money to the noobs...
now what sane human would choose the first option?
oh snap... you said sane :o
I get 35 days holiday a year. Plan the world first kills out and people just take off Wednesday Thursday Friday for the kill. Id think 90% of sk actually does have a job. I know most of my guild does.
Hardcore isnt very hardcore when you only raid 2 days a week for total clearance of everything anyway. (mh bt is doable in 5hrs both zones ) sunwell a day. Hardwork ? hardcore? i think not
your story is outta date btw

One day they will get it close to retail difficulty though. At least it doesn't take me 3 months to get to lvl70 like it would on retail. I really don't understand how millions of people have to time to play WoW like they do.
Nihilum had the world first on C'thun yes, but not every boss after that. They did kill the Kel'thuzad (Naxxramas end boss) as world first, but nothing in between.
With the release of The Burning Crusade, there were several other guilds who have got world first kills: 7 world first kills were done by the now disbanded Death & Taxes, most on T5 content which is why some don't give them as much value, but in truth at the time this was more difficult than what Black Temple and Mt.Hyjal offered afterwards. There's also two by Curse (now known as SK-Gaming) and one by Afterlife.
Nihilum did manage to get all the world first kills in Black Temple, where the former, before Sunwell, end-game boss Illidan is. With the Sunwell released (patch 2.4), Nihilum has only had one world first, which was the 4th boss, Eredar Twins. Though they claim they were only aiming for world firsts on the last two bosses in Sunwell just prior to it's release, due to the way Blizzard allowed the encounters to be tested on their patch test realms.
Another thing worth mentioning is that even though Sunwell was released long ago, the instance structure was such that it was not possible to gain access to Kil'Jaeden until very recently and in my opinion the news post fails to explain this.
Sorry to be nitpicking freak, but I don't like seeing wrong info on bit-tech =]
Ha!
I bet it was like that south park episode though, "MUM, BATHROOM!" lol.
I do not understand any of that you lost me by the time you said taxes
