The Ironman Challenge is an interesting cross-realm event where players see how far they can level without dying using a bare minimum of gear, no gear enhancements, no talents, no glyphs, no consumables, no professions, and no outside help. The event is not a competition but a personal challenge. However, not surprisingly, hunters are currently filling the top of the leaderboard.
Official rules for the Ironman Challenge and more information can be found in the Ironman thread on the WoW forums.
It’s tempting… But deleting if you die? :s
it’s great fun, i’m up to lvl 22 so far, and really it’s not been a challenge yet, but a couple of times through stupidity it i’ve nearly bought it. It’s a lot of fun, and i think it can only get better!
Kripparrian hit level 85 today and was the first person to do so. Grats Kripp!
Oops, you beat me to it. :)
His 85 screenshot is from Storm Peaks, so I think he might have stayed in Northrend after 80. (Cata a bit dangerous.)
Good effort anyways!
Kripparrian is 85!
