First World of Warcraft Classic player reaches level 60

Streamer JokerdTV has become the first player to reach the maximum level of 60 in World of Warcraft Classic.

It took the player less than 4 days to achieve the feat, after grinding virtually non-stop since its release on August 26.

Many World of Warcraft Classic players have faced hours-long queues to access the game since its release, followed by in-game congestion and further queues to complete quests.

According to a post on the Blizzard forums on Wednesday, the latest hotfixes should alleviate login wait times.

Released to coincide with the franchise’s 15th anniversary this year, Classic lets World of Warcraft subscribers experience the early days of Blizzard’s MMO with an authentic recreation of the pre-expansion game.

Shares of Activision Blizzard hit a nine-month high on Tuesday following World of Warcraft Classic’s release.

Blizzard will launch a World of Warcraft 15th Anniversary Collector’s Edition on October 8. Priced at $100 (£89.99), it will include 30 days of game time, a ten-inch Ragnaros the Firelord statue, a pin, mousepad, set of art prints and a pair of in-game mounts.
