They said it couldn't be done. Well, to be fair, it can't -- however, if one were to track the completion of Blizzard's super successful World of Warcraft by the number of achievements a player had unlocked, then a Taiwanese player has effectively solved that game tape. A character named "Little Gray" on the Wrathbringer server has completed all 986 of the game's 'cheevos, killing 390,895 creatures and finishing 5,906 quests along the way.
However, this triumph of human resolve has been diminished by one small caveat: one upcoming winter holiday–tied achievement, titled "BB King," remains locked, but due to a glitched PvP achievement that apparently unlocked twice, his statistics say he's batting a thousand. With the game's Winter Veil festivities approaching, we expect Little Gray will unlock that last feat soon, at which point the credits will roll, and his account will be permanently erased. Or the server will explode. Definitely one of those two.

I was always taught the only way to beat an MMO is quitting it. This guy surely has not beaten Warcraft.

Ok ok, all but 2.5, but common Darth, it's close enough.. it's close enough.
PS: Doing the whole lightsaber noise thing didn't help separate you from the other nerd you're making fun of for completing WoW. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Star Wars nerd... but at least I don't bash others for liking something equally as quirky.

This gives me an eery reminder of a poster called "cosworthkid" on carspyforums. I join 1 year or 2(can't remember as I seldom check in on the site anymore), and the guy now has, get this:

I don't know what people do over there in Limassol - Cyprus, but how the hell do you have that many post in a little over 4 years is beyond me.
And let's not go into the part where he(and to lesser degree many others) keep discussing how a certain car should look like and what they think is better.....I DON'T F*CKIN CARE AHHH!!!
Hated wadding through pages upon pages just to see car pictures and not people posting about their opinions.
Having comments in an article where the article itself is at the top is fine(as is the case here), but that... Oy...
Long rant over..

Sort of like an offense force? I think it's about time we get some of those going.

Now THAT'D be crazy, getting all of those acheivements twice. I can see the completionist in some people to do this once, but never again. Of course you would need some kind of time machine... aren't some of the so called "cheevos" time sensetive?

Upon achieving this extraordinary goal, "Little Grey" unlocked a previously unknown Easter Egg in World of Warcraft--a special mission that becomes available only when you have completed the near-impossible task of beating the entire game. "Little Grey" expressed his excitement to reporters when first learning of the hidden level. Hours later, however, he emerged from his apartment glowing with a divine radiance.
"I never dreamed of an experience like this," commented "Little Grey." Observers noted that the soles of his feet no longer touched the earth. "I... can't talk about it. The transformation I have undergone cannot be expressed in words."
Reporters continued to bombard "Little Grey" with questions until the now-legendary gamer spread his arms and ascended to the heavens in a beam of light.
When asked to comment, a top source at Blizzard was quoted as saying: "Yeah, we honestly didn't know if anybody would unlock that True Enlightenment thing we put in there. I'm pretty psyched that he pulled it off. Now everybody's going to want to see it for themselves."
The Blizzard source then leaned back in his plush bejeweled throne and smiled over the rim of his solid gold coffee cup. "We just wanted to add a little more incentive to keep playing, folks."
