How World of Warcraft”s Endgame is Changing With The War Within
World of Warcraft hasn”t always been easy for solo players to enjoy, but The War Within is about to change that.
However, one World of Warcraft fan didn’t stop after hitting max level on a single character. Meeres, WoW player and officer of hardcore raiding guild Echo, dove into World of Warcraft: The War Within early access with a vengeance, and immediately began power leveling his characters. By the end of his first day of playing the expansion, he had raised a staggering total of 17 characters to max level, each with a slightly-different take on his streamer name.
17 Level 80 on Day One of WoW: The War Within
Meeres is a big name in the hardcore World of Warcraft raiding community, and a popular content creator as well. He has been a part of numerous world first raid races, and was on the first team that defeated Fyrakk in Amirdrassil, the Dream’s Hope, Dragonflight’s last raid. He was even the first person to get Fyr’alath, the Legendary two-handed axe wielded by the final WoW: Dragonflight boss.Close
In The War Within, fans obtain achievements for the first five characters who reach level 80, each of which provides a 5% experience boost for subsequent toons, to a maximum of 25%. That said, even with the Warband Mentor achievements in WoW: The War Within, the fact Meeres got 17 characters to max level is as impressive as it is insane.
This wasn’t the only feat of leveling prowess to come out of The War Within early access. WoW player Monkeylol reached level 80 in World of Warcraft in just over an hour, with Shiekrunner hitting it mere minutes later. The players from Echo, ostensibly including Meeres’ first character, were not far behind, as they started hitting the new level cap after an hour and a half. Needless to say, it seems like Meeres and his fellow guild members will have plenty of time to prepare for the Mythic Nerub-ar Palace race to world first when it begins on September 17.
