World First Kill: Illidan Stormrage by Nihilum

Just two weeks after the 2.1 patch release, the EU-Magtheridon guild Nihilum has completely cleared the Black Temple, with their kill of Illidan Stormrage this morning.

Head over to their website to find out more - but be warned - it's loading slow right now as they are no doubt getting an insane amount of traffic all at once due to the kill.

    Really needed some tweaking; at least he wasn't bugged like vash or al'ar before... They kinda deserved this ;) Hopefully some quieter times now...

    who said BT was gonna be hard? maybe hard to progress too, but no one definately said it would be hard.

    Maybe they're just that good? Lets see how everyone else does when they get there ;)

    Nihilum has commented a bit on this in IRC. Kungen feels that Illidan is by far the hardest encounter in TBC, so it's mostly just that they were able to execute the strategy to defeat him than the fact that it's too easy.

    Holy ..

    Really shouldn't be surprised, you have to think. This is the guild that got Kel`thuzad in 2 days.

    One can only congratulate to Nihilum - An awsome achievement :)

    I find it slightly amusing that many of the people who complain about BT being "too easy" are the same people who complained that most high end raid instances were never going to be seen by the public.

    Also, this is a guild that strives for world first kills, not your average raiding guild. Certainly not the right guild to base a dungeon's difficulty off of.

    Most guilds just simply aren't as dedicated as Nihilum is to invest alot of time learning difficult encounters first on a private server in god mode that they have setup to prepare themselves for the real thing on a retail server.

    Congrats Nihilum, keep up the hard work.

    "Blizzard fails, this instance was supposed to be difficult? Yeah, my ass"

    The 25 men instances in BC are not _that_ easy. Some bosses are easily of Naxxaramas difficulty and require more of perfect teamwork than good gear.

    I have done both Gruul and Magtheridon when they were "hard mode" and if Blizzard would not nerf them insanely, there'd be still just a small minority farming them nowadays. I'll see in this raid lock how lady Vashj is about...

    are grats in order to them for killing him first ? not in my opinion , and i know people could give a crap about my opinion.

    use of any private server is ILLEGAL , no matter how you word it , so if this is how they did it , by getting god mode this way , and then going through every single instance this way , id say theyre cheating.......

    people r sposed to be playing on the retail servers only , and the ones who cheat by playing on private server with unfair mods and tweaks , so they learn the tricks of bosses , in an unfair manner , dont deserve *** for recognition , it doesnt mean *** that they killed him first , or KT or any other instance boss , if theyve been doing this since pre-bc , they all just suck.

    id laugh my ass off if blizz got a person into their guild and found out about the illegal server and banned em all from the retail ones , lol

    its almost as if they were all little children , stealing the test answers from their teacher's desks , HAHAHA

    YOU ARE DUMB! OOGABOOGA!

  • Tue, Jun 5 2007 5:05 PM ()

    Oogabooga......What in the heck are you talking about? They aren't using a private server..... Have you ever played one? They are no where up to par with blizzard servers, most of which don't even have Karazhan fully spawned, let alone The Black Temple. Maybe you should think before you speak bad about one of the best guilds in WoW.

    Anyway, grats to Nihilum. Downing Illidan in just 2 weeks is amazing.

    @oogabooga

    Read article: "the EU-Magtheridon guild" They did it on a live retail server..... And the guild that hoststs this forum isnt too far behind them aswell...

    Yeah I'm not sure you're understanding the previous comments correctly, oogabooga.

    I think Congratz are in order.

    Some seem to forget that this content was up on the PTR for about 2 months and I am sure that Nihilum took full advantage of that time to learn this instance.

    This world first is all about time and dedication of a team of people reaching for a goal.

    Hail Nihilum... Rock on boy's and Girl's // The Swede

    you dont even know what you are talking about oogabooga. in private servers bosses fight like normal mobs.

    even if they were scripted, to recreate the fight you have to know how it works
