World First Kill: The Lurker Below by Death and Taxes!

News | March 14, 2007 (1 year, 5 months ago) | by Kody | Filed in World of Warcraft

Last night, March 13th, Death and Taxes of the US realm Korgath, defeated The Lurker Below. Though they claim this is not the first time that they've killed him - hence showing two sets of loot - he was also killed last week.

Death and Taxes - The Lurker Below

Apparently there's a bit of a rivalry brewing between Death and Taxes and the EU guild Nihilum, as you can see from the quote below:

> Actually we killed it last week too, hence the double loot in the pic, but we didn't know whether it was a trash mob or an actual boss, we were waiting for a confirmation from Europe. Apparently they seem unable to tell us so we decided to post anyway.

Congratulations on the kill D&T - we here at Curse are looking forward to your future kills!

After doing a bit of research(and the fact that D&T killed him last week as well, before any hotfixes were applied), I'm going to leave this as-is with the World First Kill title. If anyone has objections, please feel free to post them, but as it stands they defeated the encounter while it was bugged and had a chance to despawn, evade, etc. as well.

Kiltek: Nihilum killed The Lurker Below yesterday, so I'm sure he was in as much of a working order there as on US servers. :)

Iamjack: It's a running joke - Nihilum compared Fathom Lord Karathress to a trash mob in Serpenshrine Cavern, to try to debunk Death and Taxes' World First Kill of that encounter, so D&T kind of carried that over to this kill as well. ;)

no they know its a real boss. The whole reason for the comment is that nihilum have been like "was this even a boss?!" on all bosses this far in serpentshrine.

How come they don't know if it is a trash mob or an actual boss?

Basically, this shouldn't be shown as a World First.

Why? Because the EU version of this boss is completely bugged, im not sure on the details but I believe it's something to do with the spawning mechanism.

Thus, this should be displayed as US First, and when EU get a kill, it should be called an EU first.

D&T is defo on it's way to become unreachable on world firsts. Unless they get stuck somewhere ofc.

Job well done D&T, keep those world firsts coming! Show the world the power of the alliance.

It's certainly likely AirForceElite.

Must be a clown-worthy fight, as far as relative difficulty of bosses goes.
