WoW + TBC + Nihilum + Boss Kill Vids on Youtube + EDM = <3

I'm sure everyone knows that Nihilum has overtaken Death and Taxes as the World's top guild, always pwning with their world first boss kills.

But what do i love the most about them? the person who does all the boss kill videos on youtube has great taste in music!!!

Hardcore WoW veteran raiders know what i'm talking about!!!








Even if you're not a WoW raider, i'm sure you can enjoy the music in these vids!

DT were/are the biggest douche bags in the WoW community, I never looked upon them as being the top guild. Sure they were good but all good things come to an end and I'm glad Nihilum has taken the crown. I don't play the game anymore, sold my accounts but I still watch vids every now and then.

How does one guild overtake another guild as top guild on the server? Is there some benchmark or metric everyone can view?

It's basically a race to see who kills bosses the fastest/first.

It's sad to think people waste their lives on this shit.

Same can be said about any game/activity/interest/hobby. Don't judge.

No denying Blizzard (Starcraft, Diablo, WoW, Warcraft) has ruined more lives than any other gaming company. In a weird way, they should take it as a compliment.

Or set up some kind of fund for counciling.

i heard DnT slowed down a bit b/c a few of the core raiders were burnt out from the pressures of trying to be no.1

Whats the last track called on the supremes kill? Cheesy but am a sucker for pluck melodies

After 2 years and more than 3100 hours invested on my mage i quitted wow few weeks ago and sold the mage.

happens all the time. Theres alot of WoW addiction websites like an AA group, to try and break players away from the game. Some of these stories are just sad.

Some nice stories there.

The game is actually very addicting. Not in the sense substances are, but in that it's easy to get really caught up in trying to achieve something and lose sight of more important things.

I pissed away a huge amount of time over the year and a half I played heavily trying to reach 'the top,' as far as uberness or whatever goes. Got there in the end, and kind of realised that shit isn't much more fun just because you do it first, that the game revolves around spending 4 hours grinding or farming so you can enjoy 1 hour of new content (speaking relatively) and that there are far more important things to get an ego kick out of than who has the bigger sword (literally and otherwise). Honestly all the highend takes is knowing the right people, not being a complete downs syndrome case when it comes to common sense shit (when you light up and big words flash across your screen, run away from the raid!) and playing more than can possibly be healthy.

Sold my warlock for a decent amount, blew it all on partying. Still play on and off, but I make sure I don't get caught up into the rat race of the highend grind. I bot a lot so I don't have to play the ridiculous time sinks required to level/farm, and I usually sell off whatever characters I have at the time when I get bored.

the game for me was never about my epics or purples.

more so, it was about achieving success as a group with friends. your gear will always scale to the level of difficulty of the area you're trying to defeat. eg: you need tier1 to do tier2. but there is nothing more exhilirating than downing Ragnaros or Razorgore for your first time. That is what i enjoy the most about the game, not the gear but the group camaderie.

Well it's about advancement, whether you measure that by how many bosses you've killed or how many epics you have (which tend to correlate anyway). Personally it was a mix of both for me, I gained enjoyment out of killing new bosses more so than farming gear, but I measured a persons character more on their gear level, since this was usually indicative of the overall effort they've put in, and it's what affected their effectiveness in all area's of the game.

Taranis, after playing wow, I keep reading your name as Tanaris.

it is sad to read through those stories. luckily, i almost reached that "obsession", but never quite got to that point where WoW was attached to my life.

in the beginning, i played about 6-7 days a week, either enjoying questing, killing random things out in the wild, or farming for a bit. that got kinda boring for me after a couple of months, so i started to sit in front of instances for random amounts of time, and join random groups. i passed on rolls for greens (and blues too) about 90% of the time, because i wasn't really interested in the items, just interested in reaching the end. i stopped doing that for a couple of months, and then started battleground groups. in my opinion, that is the most fun in the game, coming a close second is downing a boss.

i canceled my account a couple of months ago, because i saw myself playing the game less often than usual (about 2-3 days in a 2 week span). i really saw the game taking an effect into my life, so i knew i had to stop myself from playing the game. i have seen many guild mates and "friended" toons make it to 60/70 very quick, and getting massive gear and amounts of gold in a short period of time without bots.

Hehe, yeah I realized that a while back and after around 140 days played time decided to quit some two months ago.

I know what you mean, its not just wow that takes over your life, its other MMORPG's as well. About 6/7 years ago I was seriously addicted to Ultima Online. Me and my friend from school were addicted. I would play every hour I could, one summer holiday I never left the house at all, just played UO marathons everyday. (I was still at school at the time) My friend once played for 24 hours solid, only to stop for the bathroom and grabbing a drink. It ruined my mid teen social life. I would say I played an unhealthy amount for a couple a years. From about 15-17 years old. I finally stopped playing when I realised how unhealthy it was, just gave my account away. I vowed to never play another MMORPG again. So when wow was released I might of heard about it, but wasn�t going to play it. I think I was also getting to that age where I discovered drink and going out a lot, so I might have seen there was more to life then playing computer games.

meh i hope you know nihilium is a sponsored guild...so they pretty much get payed for playing wow all day..so of course they are going to down everything first..thats all they do....

plus the fact that Nihilum had a bit of an advantage in some, since they were located in EU, and if an end game boss nerfed, they usually get the patch update first before north america(it happened for them for the Kel'Thuzad fight). A buddy of mine is in D&T..and a lot of em lost steam thats for sure.

Nihilum does have sponsers, but I doubt theyre paying them everyday haha, more like a lump sum for them to strut around in tournaments repping their name

I bet they can make a hefty sum advertising on their site - a name known world-over within a community of several million people has definite economic potential; no idea if they actually utilize this or not, but it's definitely there.
