Three Mages, a Paladin, and a Shaman Claim World First Level 60
The Synchronized Five-Man Roster
Rather than solo routing, Classic speedrunning veterans Jokerd, Cloudbells, Vitochie, Lmgd, and b_urning coordinated an uncompromising AoE cleave roster composed of three Mages, one Paladin, and one Shaman:• Massive Mob Pulls: The Paladin grouped vast packs together before the trio of Mages obliterated them simultaneously with Arcane Explosion.
• Full-Time AoE Routing: The group shifted to dedicated grinding at level 35, chain-cleaving across Dreadmurk Shore (Dustwallow Marsh), the Ruins of Zul'Mamwe (Stranglethorn Vale), Lost Rigger Cove (Tanaris), and Dalson's Tears and Gahron's Withering in the Western Plaguelands.
• Aggressive Phasing: The party utilized constant realm phasing to maintain immediate mob respawns rather than waiting on static timers.
"Now We Can Finally Play the Game"
The final four percent of level 59 required exhaustive mathematical calculations to synchronize experience gains down to the single point so that all five adventurers dinged 60 at the exact same instant.Upon crossing the threshold, Jokerd celebrated the world-first achievement on stream with the legendary reaction: "Now we can finally play the game."
