Chinese Guild "Stars" Scores First Yogg +0 Kill

While this might be old news to many hardcore raiding members of the community, on July 8th, 2009, at 4:12 AM (China Local Time), a Chinese World of Warcraft Guild, "Stars," managed to score a world first Yogg-Saron +0 kill. The kill came after many many attempts, and they finally managed to down the final challenge in World of Warcraft that was considered to be impossible by many top raiding guilds. MMOSite.com has a video of Stars' world first kill, as well as a speech they gave to the raiding community. In particular, they aim a very pointed comment at Blizzard when they say "Hopefully there won't be another one-week-delay for the next patch so we can compete with best guilds in the world on every boss rather than those hardest ones only." So congratulations to Stars for beating the game, and hopefully you'll be able to legitimately compete for your next batch of World Firsts!

You can check out the kill video and a screenshot of their damage meters / raid composition over at MMOSite.com.

I think the delays in patching there might have more to do with the Chinese government's need to control every facet of their people's lives rather then anything Blizz is doing. But I've never read anything to back that up so who knows.

As you see from video Chinese version of WoW use very different alphabets, I think delays are mostly localization issues as Chinese version of World of Warcraft use very different alphabets and characters than western countries version. I would be surprised if localization to Chinese would not cause any delays.
