When most players were wandering in the Hellfire Peninsula, Silver Dragon, a Horde hunter player on the Chinese World of Warcraft
s Angeluo server in Realm 7, was driving his LV70 mount and flying over Azeroth. It only cost him 23.5 hours to level from LV60 to LV70, which was a new world record, more than four hours shorter than the previous world record set by a European player in the English TBC.
What is his motivation to challenge the world record and how did he make it? With this question in mind, I interviewed Silver Dragon who made the miracle happen.
Character name: Silver Dragon
Real name: GoodWell (Gong Wei)
Age: Unknown
Class: Hunter
Race: Horde
Server: Ageluo Server Realm 7
Guild: Green Base
Journalist: Hi, first, congratulations for your breaking the world record of leveling from LV60 to LV70. Can you basically introduce yourself to our readers?
Silver Dragon: Greetings to all the readers and WOW players. I m GoodWell. I belong to Green Base guild. I want to say that the success not only belongs to me, but also belongs to the whole guild. And I would like to take this opportunity to thank every member in Green Base. Without your help, I couldn t have made it.
Journalist: Can you give us a general introduction to Green Base?
Silver Dragon: Sure. Our guild moved to Angeluo server last year. At that time we ve got more than 2000 members.
Journalist: Did you make any plan for reaching LV70 within 24 hours? And what preparation have you made for that?
Silver Dragon: Yes, in June, we set a goal, that is, to reach LV70 within 27 hours. And with the joint efforts of the guild members, we made it and even did better than expectation. We logged in the game around 11:20 am, September 6 (Beijing standard time) and at 10: 48 am, September 7, we reached LV70, which only cost us 23.5 hours. You know we have been waiting too long for the coming of The Burning Crusade expansion in China. About 30 players in our guild even played the Taiwan version World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade where they joined Alliance. So, we are very familiar with all the maps and quests in TBC.
Journalist: What is your motivation to break the world record?
Silver Dragon: We just want to prove to the world that Chinese players can also make it and we can even do better. And I want to say we should unite together to strive to achieve our goal. Everything is possible.
